Why didn't he just avoid the iceberg?

Trying to turn that thing was fucking dumb as hell. Had they just hit it straight on, they wouldn’t have sunk. Maybe suffered some damage but not sink.

probably fucking retarded.

cant steer for shit

It was insurance job to cover up the damage that we've done to the olympia

He didn't think there were any icebergs. People raving about it being unsinkable is what made him arrogant as fuck.

He could have saved more if he switched to Geico.

why the fuck would they turn that giant boat, if he would have just went head on into the iceburg, Titanic never would have gone under, suffered some damage yes, but not gone under

>iceberg is considerably heavier then the ship
>ram it head on
>totally wouln't cause several front bulkheads to buckle and fail
>defitely wouln't fuck up the engines
>definitely wouln't fuck up the passengers
>absolutely zero chance any of the lifeboats would get damaged in the crash

The whole story would have been so much better if just this detail had been added to the film.
Seeing DiCaprio cozy up to a cross eyed slobbering mongoloid would have been priceless

That night it was hard to see, the water reflected the stars like a mirror. Everyone was pretty drunk I'd assume, and it takes forever to turn something like the Titanic.

>>implying water is unmovable and ship wouldn't have pushed the iceberg
yes suffered damage, but not sank, yes most passengers would have been dead. hmm actually it wouldn't have made much difference in the end, only the ship would have survived but probably the same amount of people would have died

I can't believe how retarded that old lady was to throw a priceless crap into the ocean. Her lover would have been remembered forever had she not throw it.

If only it was that easy.

The iceberg would have lifted the ship up then scratched the entire bottom of the ship.

I think the reasoning behind this theory is that it wouldn't have breached as many bulkheads. Meaning not as many compartments would've flooded.

Hind sight is 20/20.
its only natural to turn. When you can't avoid hitting a deer in the road, you think the first instinct is to speed up? Everyone instead automatically slams on their brakes and vears right or left.

captains are trained for this kind of situations, he had several seconds atleast to think, but he probably thought that passengers would suffer if he hits the iceberg head on and since everybody said titanic is unsinkable, what could go wrong if he turned?

>not as many compartments would've flooded.
Problem was that the bulkheads didn't reach all the way up to the top of each deck. The water simply flowed over the top and into the next compartment. That pushed the ship lower in the water and more compartments flooded.

>and vears right or left.
Or veers, even.

Russian collusion. It all comes back to Russian collusion.

finally, found the magaturd. was thinking where that stench is coming from

The other problem was the rudder was engineered poorly, too small to turn the ship fast enough to avoid anything. Which the captain did not know. They were fucked from the second the rough draft of Titanic was laid out.

every year, on average, more than two dozen large ships sink, or otherwise go missing, taking their crews along with them.
i didn't realize there was a certificate you can earn in school to be a captain of a boat and you need a boat license back in 1900s

He obviously meant to say "veal". Its there way of talking.

Basically, the Captain turned to avoid the iceberg he saw above the water. But there was a large outcrop below the surface. So when he turned and missed the iceberg he saw above the water, he didn't see the outcrop 30 feet below the water line. As he passed the iceberg, the outcrop sliced open the side of the ship closest to the iceberg like a can opener on a can of tuna fish. It flooded the compartments along the whole side of the ship and the ship couldn't float with the water flowing into all the below water compartments, including the engine room.

The ship could have survived a head-on encounter because the prow was designed to take such an impact. While the side of the ship was strong, the ice outcrop just sliced the thinner metal sides open. It could have survived one or two of even three flooded compartments, it could not survive all of them being opened to seawater. Such a collision simply was not anticipated because it hadn't happened in the past with other ships (that was known of to ship builders).

I didn't realize I was in a YLYL thread.

The captain should of known this and hit it straight on no matter what. Turning was his mistake. He should have known and was trained to know iceburgs can cut open the boat under water.

How far was the iceberg when it became visible?

He tried to, you fucking dumbass. That's why hulk was slit open when the ship tried to go by the iceberg. Had he rammed it, it might not have sunk but probably caused severe casualties.

He had seconds to make decision of ramming the ice or turning. More than enough time to think about it. Captains are trained for this years in advance.

I just want to know how far it was. I mean seriously it was pitch black that night.

anyone else think shipwrecks are scary?

I think you'll find you're the retarded one new friend

I looked it up. It says that it took 30 seconds between the sight of iceberg and the crash.
So:
>A crewman sights it and yells iceberg
>Few seconds passes (maybe 5-10 seconds)
>Captain shows up and sights it
>Few seconds more passes (5 secons)
>Hollers turn it and reverse the engine!
>Reversing the engine takes maybe 10 seconds
>Speeding engine up takes more
>Turning the massive ship takes to long
>Basically it should have rammed the iceberg headon anyway

Ramming it head on would have been instant game over.
A 50,000 ton ship ramming an estimated 1.5 million ton iceberg... It would have turned into a fucking accordion.

Most of an iceberg sits below the surface so it gives the impression its avoidable, only to strike its submerged body.

Maybe I wasn't clear. The scenario I outlined wouldn't have made any difference. The ship would have rammed head on anyway, despite the effort.

It was clearly a weaponized Iceberg maneuvered into position by German U-Boats.

By then the wreck will be long gone. It's already rusting away.

Smith was incompetent. Look at his record.

He did turn, that is why the iceberg tore out the entire side and had the "unsinkable" engineering fail. If he hit it dead-on, the ship would have not sunk. It would have stopped and allowed it to turn, damaged but still floating, and turn to slowly change course.

>reversing the engine and turning
that's the worst thing you can do while trying to avoid an object in a ship that large. all that does is turn the boat and drift in the same direction while slightly slowing down. basically he had 2 choices: ram the boat head on (impact would have been so forceful, many more would have died just from that) or turn the boat and pray you avoid as much of the iceberg as possible and sustain less damage.

And they all could set up camp on that iceberg

it takes many people to adjust the way a ship is going in an emergency, they all panic and get people killed making bad choices.

hitting a deer head on can cause fatalities.

More shocking news at 11.00

That's the thing. They say it took 30 seconds between the sight and the iceberg.
So after all the hollering, the rudder finally turns slowly but it was still a few seconds left so the ship hasn't turned yet.

driving a car and a boat are completely different. boats don't have breaks like cars. they have to be steered with or against their momentum/drift in the water. the best method to avoid a collision is to maintain speed, turn the boat left or right, and negotiate around the object by steering in the opposite direction you initially turned once enough of the front of the boat has cleared

*the sight and the crash

It may well have been. Its also 90% submerged. There would have been only one thing giving in that stiuation.

Nobody can say it would not have sank if they hit it head on. The cunt snapped in half under its own weight so its fair to say that kind of impact could have caused untold structural damage.

No, see this

Why didn't he just avoid the tower?

All he had to do was turn left or right.

What was his endgame?

The inertia of the collision with one mobile object is only relative to the speed of one object and mass of the smaller object. That logic you presented basically says that fleas explode themselves when landing on the animals they feed on. Energy is not amplified by mass. Work out is the same as work in. None of us explode when we jump and land back on the Earth.

LOL, I remember when people actually believed this. Good times. Thanks for the memories.

>there

That is true, but the reason the titanic sank is because the turn drove the iceburg up the starboard side and caused flooding in 5 forward compartments. The ship design allowed it to float with 4 flooded compartments. If they had rammed the iceberg head on, they would have destroyed the first compartment, possibly 2 or 3, but the ship would most likely have remained afloat until rescue arrived.

Ask J.P. Morgan.

Get out with your false equivalency. The smaller object still had a huge mass, and literally tore its self apart under its own weight, the thing was not designed for the situation we are hypothesising, a flea is.

And with ample speed (not much) we do collapse from falling back to earth.

*rolls eyes*

You essentially spouted noncence to combat his nonsense though. People are aware of the juniour high level of math you implemented. The situation was far more complicated than that sadly for you. The ship was riveted and by some accounts riveted poorly. Either impact would exert forces that the design was not built to take. Saying what would happen with any confidecne either way is foolish.

> a wave?
> at sea..!?

Chance in a million!

Hulk
> sad

One of the surviving crew members in a lifeboat reported the captain had brought onboard something called a 'prayer rug' and yelled something like "Alley Ack Bar" before ramming the iceberg.

>crashing this ship
>with NO SURVIVORS

King theoden rides head on into battle and would not avoid a measly little iceberg

first of all, the iceberg didn't slice anything. The impact severed the hull and snapped it open, as in the places where the different steel panels that made up the ship were bolted together. Second of all, the speed was far too great to just hit the iceberg straight on

Wuts rong wit they're? i used it rite

Why didn´t they just take the plane? Idiots on a ship lol .

German for mountain.

Solidified water can't tore steel plates. Titanic was an inside job, guys!

All im saying is that steel can't cut through that many tons of ice. But you sheeple can just believe what you want.

>Why didn't he just avoid the iceberg?

>All he had to do was turn left or right.

They did turn.

Ironically, if they had rammed it head-on, the front 2-3 bulkheads would've been crushed, there would've been massive damage, but it would've probably stayed afloat.

instead, by trying to turn too late, they raked along the entire hull side, buckling plates and opening not the first 2-3 compartments, but 5 compartments, dooming the ship.

Okay see the ice and brake hard and the thing is going like 30mph tops. Hitting the iceberg dead on that momentum would continue into your body at about 30 mph.

What does the size of anything even matter? Unless the boat scrunched up and squished the passengers I don't understand why you all think a slow speed crash is this fatal. Like brace yourself with a life vest or a matress nigga.

The skipped a lot safety precautions when building it. There wasn't enough boats and the ship wasn't reenforced well. The Titanic was rushed

Wealthy Americans who opposed the idea of the Federal reserve were on that boat. It didn't hit an iceberg, it was sunk by humans who wanted the Federal reserve, which was founded the next year.
