Why Did the Titanic hit the iceberg ?

        " RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US. The sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of 1,502 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. "

and the question that my lecturer asked to us in the class is " Why, did the Titanic hit the iceberg?" is it because the captain had been distracted by the event? the dance? the music? the food? the liqour? until the captain or the passengers doesn't realize that there's a great catastrophe will coming to visit them? Now, i'm writing this blog post to answer my lecturer question.

one of the reason because why did the titanic hit the iceberg is ;

  1) the captain didn't aware of the iceberg that coming from front of the ship because he were distracted with the dance that been held on the deck and the liquor that he drank are making him not 'himself.'

  2) The captain saw an iceberg that is small and he thought that he could make it to make a turn before the ship hit the iceberg but what he don't realize is under the small iceberg are actually there's more than what he or the whole crew can expect. When the captain make a slow turn to prevent from hitting the iceberg, underside of the ship hit the massive iceberg that attached to the small iceberg. The hole on underside the ship appear and a pressure thrust of water began to filled the ship and sank it down.

that is the reason why did the titanic hit the iceberg. And of course, you too can make your own opinion. Just drop your comment .
