What really happened the night Titanic sank?

Question

Conspiracies? Theories? Curses? Please tell me what you know!!!

Answer 1

Stupidly, probably because of pressure from the Line Company officer on board to make a fast passage, the captain went at near full speed thru the dark in waters KNOWN to have icebergs at the time. They hit one, and it sank.
One mystery is: many people reported seeing the lights of a ship, which never responded to the rockets being fired by the Titanic. That ship has never been identified, nor is it known for sure if one was there.

Answer 2

Dear,

TITANIC:

You judge for your own self whether It's Conspiracies?, Theories? or Curse? from the statements as follow:

The Titanic sailed despite fog and wireless warning of icebergs, the British transatlantic liner drove ahead at full speed. Suddenly, near mid-night on Apr. 14, 1912.,. she crashed into the underwater projection of an iceberg. Her "watertight compartments should kept her afloat indefinitely", but 'the freak accident had ripped the bottom out of several of them', and she sank in 2 and 1/2 hours. The sea was calm. There would have been time to take everyone off, but there were only enough lifeboats for a third of those on board. Another steamer was close at hand, but her "wireless operator" had turned in for the night. The doomed hundreds faced death bravely. Life boat space went to women and children first, though those in steerage did not have equal opportunity. Altogether, 1503 lives were lost. The disaster shock the maritime nations into new provision for safety at sea.

If I may say, there's no conspiracies, theories or curses.

Answer 3

The tragedy of the Titanic was due to a combination of unwarranted arrogance and sloppy navigation. Arrogance in the sense that too many people - including the ships captain - had deluded themselves into believing the ship to be unsinkable. Sloppiness in that an inexperienced junior officer was at the helm when the ship hit the iceberg who hadn't the good sense to countermand the order to proceed ahead at speed.
The third serious problem was the dearth of lifeboats. That was, of course, in large part due to the unwarranted assumption that they'd never be needed...why put lifeboats on an unsinkable ship? So, when the ship hit the berg and the shite hit the fan, people died needlessly because there wasn't enough room in the lifeboats they did have for everyone.
No conspiracy, no curse - just the old human failing called STUPID....

Answer 4

I know that contrary to popular belief, there were enough lifeboats so that the death toll / /survivor numbers should have benn reversed! That night 1502 died and ~575 lived. It should have been the other way around!

The life boats were tested with 100 grown men and floated with freeboard to spare (floated easily) there were 16 on board, so in a pinch, they could have put 1600 people in lifeboats! There were also collapsable boats or rafts for another two hundred or so.

The problem was the class system. Upper class passengers were always treated like royalty and were never expected to ride with their servants! The upper class would have been loaded first, and then the boats would have been launched. When all the first and second class passengers (men, too) were loaded, then the lower class passengers would have been loaded.

Because of the absolute partitioning of the classes, the boats were launched with an average of one-third full. That's why only 575 survived and 1502 perished.

Answer 5

Of course there is a conspiracy theory that doesn't get any traction in traditional history classes...

There was a 2nd Iceberg that rolled down and off a grassy knoll.

Answer 6

watch " A Night To Remember" and "Titanic" minus the Jack and Rose story and you have a pretty good idea of what happened that night.


or, if you rather, it was the very northern tippy tip of the Bermuda Triangle the Titanic ran over, gashing open her hull......

Answer 7

a pack of wild werewolves swam out from canada to the titanic that night, and they began devouring the crew. when the passengers shot the werewolves to death, a giant vampire came out of a ufo and killed the remaining passengers. the story you know is a coverup orchestrated by the us goverment.

Answer 8

Water rushed into the giant ship and it sank.

It resurrected the curse of Celine Dion.
