Would the Titanic have had a better chance surviving if they headed towards the huge iceberg?

Question

Instead of turning??? Alot of people say Titanic had a better chance since it was (at that moment) moving very slow.

Answer 1

True, there are some people who have said it would have been more likely if the Titanic would just drive right into it, but not much of us know if the impact would be much worst than a scratch.

Answer 2

The speed of the Titanic as well as the weight of the Titanic and also the hardness of the iceberg spelled doom from the start. The idea made by the captain to speed the boat up to get to new york early was bad. the north atlantic is full of icebergs in april and also the titanic was made from iron, which is weaker than steel, and therefore vulnerable to icebergs.

Answer 3

Historically: the ships that hits anything "head on" usually survives.

Many, many instances: Andrea Doria & the Stockholm 1956,
numerous Naval warships in maneavours and always the one hit broadsides, sinks, Australian Carrier hit US ships, etc, Melbourne
hit destroyer and cut it in half,

Besides the Titanic would had staid afloat for many more hours, but as the gent said: hindsight is 20/20.

Oh, the "head on" rule does not apply to automobiles and such as you must do all to avoid such.

There are countless photos of ships on Google images that have survived such.

Wear your life vest, rub such as vasoline all over your body to retain heat, silk underwaer is great, sorry guys, etc. Travel 1st Class avoid steerage, even on such as the QM2 and those "megaships",

Answer 4

HIND SIGHT IS 20/20, OFTEN. BUT I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES.
