ive heard about that theory before, but dont you think that the steel cannot be weakened so easy. it is fire but come on, arent they supposed to be built a little bit stronger than that?

I've done alot of reading on the Titanic a long time ago, and do remember some thing about a fire that was thought to be in her bow... but I don't remember a boiler being in the bow. Did she hit the iceberg where the fire was thought to be??? or behind where it was thought to be??? If they didn't know about a fire in the bow before they hit the berg, and they knew that they were hurt bad enough to sink...I would think that they would be more worried about getting out of there than checking on a fire up front. Was there a boiler up front???

Hello ppl you do know that some boiler room people survived so if there was a fire we would know about it.Quote:

I did see something about steel characteristics on Discovery or National Geographic; the composition was indeed worse than it should be even on that day when the Titanic was built.
Steel purity requires alot of energy and technology, so its logic that ships today are harder to sink than the day of Titanic. |

The steel was not of the same quality as today's steel. And, the steel quality in combination with the extremely cold water may have caused the steel to become brittle. However, you "rub" up against an iceburg that is 5 stories tall, and 50 stories below the surface, you are going to get holes, lots of them. And, afterall, a ship is just a hunk of metal and wood. It will sink. |
