Knowone is questioning the speed mate, it's the idea that the ship stuck out of the water by that much is what is untrue. It's a film though so you can do whatever the hell you like, but in the real world theres no way it could stick out like that. Beside's since many of the eye witness testimoy is so conflicting, you cant trust it, they cant even all agree on if it spilt or not, if the ship went down like the film then knowone could possibly say it was in one piece as it sank now would they?
