The funny thing is though, Murdoch DIDN'T do what he was trained to do. Even during the American and British Inquiries, experts testified that they wouldn't have stopped the engines, and what Murdoch did hurt the Titanic's turning capabilities. Had he tried the turn at speed, who's to say, but Titanic MIGHT have cleared. During WWI, Olympic made a hard, sudden turn at speed and rammed and sank a U-Boat. I don't know all the details on it, but from what I remember, it was a turn that Olympic shouldn't have been able to make. Perhaps Titanic could've made it, but we'll never know.
