NO definatly not. As i said the titanic had 3 props 2 support and one main. It was recored going 21 knots before it hit the ice burg... now a ship that weighs 45,000 tons traveling at a meare 17 knots alone takes about 10 minutes to fully stop using only 2 support props like the titanic had. Thing is that the titanic was going 21 knots well lets say the spotter saw the burg about a thousand feet from the titanic. The order gets through to the engine room to throw engines full revrese. by the time this order goes out the ship is only 500 feet away from the burg and the props finally start turning in reverse. 400 feet come and the ship's speed has slowed to 19 knots. 200 feet and 17 knots 50 feet and 15 knots inpact around 14 knots now thats a hell lotta force inpacting a burg. a simple test to show you in real life what would happen if it hit straight on is take a credit card and push on the 2 egdes farthest away from each other the card bends the same thing would happen to titanic hitting the burg. i state facts not opinions. its late now i gotta go ill explain more later
