You moron, icebergs can bust rivets.

Also reading that the Titanic would have possibly fared better if it hit the iceberg head on instead of them trying to avoid it. Wouldn’t have done the damage to the side.
If the Titanic had hit the iceberg head on, the ship would have buckled from bow to stern and sank in minutes instead of hours.

I doubt it was the Jews, but perhaps the vengeful Old Testament God played a role?
"Even before the Titanic set sail, there were rabbis which saw it as the modern Tower of Babel," (taking Jews to America for assimilation) he says. "They perceived the idea of a ship 'immune from sinking' as defiance towards the Creation and God. There was no debate over the issue, but they definitely used the Titanic as an allegory."

10 days before the "Titanic's" maiden voyage a fire started in its coal bunker and could not be extinguished. The WSL went forward with the voyage despite the fire which damaged the hull's integrity.
And what the crew was doing was shoveling all the hot coal to keep things from worsening. However, it left them with only enough coal to make it to NYC but only if they didn't steer around the icebergs (otherwise the line has the embarrassment of having the world's elite on a stranded vessel).
The iceberg damaged the Titanic, but it is believed that it would not have taken her down by itself -- except for the hull damage from the coal fire which weakened that area.

This and your post is probably one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever read on the internet.

When the side was ripped open water poured in.
The water tight bulkheads were not high enough for some stupid reason.
Shipped filled up like a icetray.
One end was so full it picked the other side up out of the water.
That lasted until the weight of the part out of the water broke the ship in two. Sank like a rock after that.

Wouldn’t some of the survivors have said something had it not been an iceberg?
This makes me think of another question...
I'm not sure exactly where the ship sank, but say it we're halfway between it's departure and destination locations, where would they have buried the survivors?

some here disagree and say ice can't sink metal
There you go already miscommunicating information from the first page. People are saying that ice couldn't "cut" steel not sink metal. Geeze Less than 24 hours and the story already changes. Imagine how stories change after 106 years. Oh yeah, iceberg didn't sink the titantic alien did I guess.

I am going to look deeper into this. Since our government refuses to do so.
FWIW from the docs I've seen on it. they miscalculated the thickness of the steel used for the hull and the frigid waters made the thinner carbon steel more brittle. Anyone who is familiar with carbon steel knows how much temperature and pressure effects steel as well as how well it was milled.
