:( I don't think bruce ismay was the blame because he oviously would have checked the boat before the passengers went on i nlame the crew because they put a lot of efort in helping the first class and forgot about the rest of the passengers

Bruse Ismay actually got into a lifeboat himself.he was not the one in charge checking that women and children were to be in the boats

:( The Captain he was in total charge.

Any person knows that bruce ismay is the one to blame for the deaths because not only was he the reason that there weren't enough life boats, he also order to keep going while there was a fire in the hull, and he order more speed after Smith showed him ice burg warnings!!! :)

i agree dat it woz a combination of people who are to blame for the sinkin of titanic . but i think that everyone on board titanic was to sure of their safety because of a popular shipping magazine of the day which deemed titanic 'practically unsinkable'. this caused the crew to be less diligent as they probably would hav been normally .___ also titanic recived many ice warnings on the night it sunk some of them told of the latitude and longitude of a hazardous ice field. at the time of receiving that message titanic was actually within the rectangular ice field described in the telegram, but the crew never bothered to check so they never actually realised the danger they were in

I DO FEEL REALLY BAD FOR ALL THE PLP THAT LOST THERE LIVES IN THE 2ND GLASS,IN HONEST ,THEY WERE NOT EVEN THOUGHT OF POOR CHILDREN HAD TO DIE WITH THERE PARENTS NOT EVEN REALLY KNOWING WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO THERE LIVES...THEY WERE ON THE SHIP TO MAKE THERE LIFE BETTER ..INSTEAD THEY HAD TO DIE AND THE VERY GUTLESS ESMAY GOT ON THE RESCUE SHIP..I WOULDVE SHOT HIM :x

[color=#00d1ff:64621aeed1] Just stopping by and thought I'd add my own opinions to the mix. Just so you know, LupoLA7, there wasn't a big gash in the Titanic, rather, there were several small ones. Just so you know. As for who to blame, I don't think any of us could really pass judgement, unless we were onboard. We don't know all the facts, and while Ismay's behavior (aka going on a lifeboat before all women and children) was despecable, you can't blame an entire shipwreck on him unless you know every single thing that happened, and no one does. So, I'm withholding my own judgement. :wink: [/color:64621aeed1]

Unfortunately the Titanics' demise is a part of a lot of different people and designs, for example..Ignoring the many ice warnings, the rudder was too small to turn the 882 ft. ship in a manner to miss a large object, the failure to equip the ship with enough lifeboats, also the missing binoculors that should have been in the crow's nest. The Titanic had a lot going against her that night.

[quote:fc0044c455="PMSLA"]Who do you think is most responsible for the enormous loss of life in the wreck? I tend to blame the cruise line itself or either Captain Smith as he was the final authority on the ship.[/quote:fc0044c455]
Yes, I264m complitely agree with you, Captain Smith is the responsable because he was in agree with this man, I do not remember his name, but this man told him more speed, so Captain Smith was the most responsable, even thought he was not bad :wink:

Hi i'm new to this but here we go. I think that no one is to bame for so many deaths, certain people in authority such as Bruce Ismay and Captain Smith didn't help anything by wanting to get to their destination earlier and pushing the boat to far. Ultimately I think that the Titanic sinking is just one of those terrible things that happen and no one can stop, but they can contribute to it.
