Hitting the iceberg
The ship hit the iceberg on the side of the ship at 11:40pm 10th of April 1912
Filling 5 compartments with water therefore making the boat sink and become heavy on one side. Therefore, breaking in the middle
The titanic then sank at 2:20 am on the 11th of April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean
No one was really trained
Know one really know what to do in this situation nor where prepared to decide on what was best to do (due to having limited lifeboats for everyone 3300 passengers)
The capital had nothing to say about the situation and did not do much to fix/ help instead he was prepared to go down with the ship
Old technology
Due to the ship being built in 1911 there was no current 'these days' technology (shill shivering coal and using bells)
To send word down the workers below deck to change the speed of the ship was slow response
The gears of the ship took awhile to move and gain speed
Turing the ship the other direction in degree to prevent hitting the iceberg was also slow
Captain Smith went to his quarters to rest
The second in charge was concerned but did nothing
The two iceberg watchers where late in response to let the second in charge know that they were about to hit the iceberg
Captain Smith failed to acknowledge the iceberg warnings
Did not slow the ship down in advance
Did not turn the ship to a different degree in advance
