The Titanic's hitting the iceberg was a factor in the incident but it would not have sunk:
- If the Captain had paid attention to the potential for icebergs in the area and slowed down
- If the steel in the hull was not brittle and pro to propagate damageI
- Even with the improper steel the proper design of the water tight chambers would have confined the flooding.
- The poor design and inferior steel resulted from uncontrolled cost cutting.
- The cost cutting resulted from poor management decisions
Even given the damage lives could have been saved if:
- There were enough life boats
- The life boats were calculated based on passenger capacity, not just "the rules"
- The rules would have been argued if the drive to save money was not so over riding
This process is called fault tree analysis or base cause analysis. It lets you avoid the obvious answer to find the true answer.
In this case all problems lead to poor engineering and faulty management.

Which stone does not sink?
Pumice does not sink.
What caused the ship to sink?
If a ship has no buoyancy, then it will sink. In the tragedy of the RMS Titanic, the ship sank due to a collision with an iceberg, which ripped through the underside of the boat. Also the fact that they were going at an incredibly slow speed.

Why do some things sink fast and some things sink slowly?
The sinking speed of an object depends on its density and shape. Objects with high density and streamlined shape tend to sink faster, while objects with lower density and irregular shape can sink more slowly. The surrounding fluid's properties, such as viscosity and temperature, can also affect how fast something sinks.
How do you get hot water fast in your sink?
Turn on your bathtub or shower hot then turn it off at last turn on your hot water for your sink. Hope this helps!
What causes water to rise in the bowl of one sink when the other sink is in use especially with a fast flow in your 2 second floor baths?
Likely a slight clog in your sink trap or drain pipe.

What plant grows fast in sink water?
Hedge Bindweed, Field BindweedConvulvulus sepium, Convulvulus arvensis
How fast does a brick sink in water?
A brick will sink quite quickly in water, as it is denser than water. The exact speed will depend on factors such as the size, shape, and weight of the brick. Generally, a brick will sink rapidly in water due to the force of gravity pulling it down.
Does light sink faster or does heavy sink faster?
In a fluid medium, objects sink based on their density relative to the surrounding medium. In general, heavier objects sink faster than lighter objects because they have a greater gravitational force pulling them down. Light itself does not sink as it is not a solid object, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation.
How fast does a marble sink in salt water?
A marble will sink faster in salt water compared to fresh water due to the increased density of salt water. The speed at which the marble sinks will depend on factors such as the size and weight of the marble, as well as the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, the denser the water, the faster the marble will sink.
