What caused the Titanic to sink?
Correct answer: A collision with a massive iceberg

happygamestop444, it is now known that a fire burning for days inside coal stores is what weakened the hull first, making it vulnerable to damage from icebergs

Michelle Drew, you are oversimplifying things. You need to look at the decisions made regarding the ship's design, the lack of life boats, the myth that it was unsinkable and the failure of the nearest ship to respond. Things are rarely as simple as we like to make them.

Having just answered a question on syntax recently,I feel it's appropriate to point out that it was the ship which hit the iceberg, not vice versa.

Yes, the ship that helped in the rescue did take survivors to New York. My grandmother was on it with her mother & sister,& they shared their state room with Mrs. Astor. She was so thankful that she later invited then to her N.Y. mansion. We learned about this when my grandmother was 82 years of age!!!

Such sorrow that never should of happened in the first place if the Captain only listened to what he was told by others.

A recent program on tv said that if they had hit the iceberg head-on with the bow, they might have stayed afloat longer, and more people might have survived. It's like many blunders in a short period of panic doomed the ship & its passengers. I've heard that engineers built the Titanic, but an amateur built the Ark.

Maybe if upon Send Off and Bottle christening, the man had not said "even GOD can't sink this vessel", there may have been Mercy given by the Almighty GOD. That statement was a slap in the face to the Creator of man. GOD uses threes (3) in many instances- err a 3hour sink time falls into place. My opinion only. I do know that GOD is Real, and Will Not Be Mocked. Byl Butler

Actually the Titanic sank because the "watertight compartments" had no ceilings and allowed the water to pass further into the ship. Also ego allowed this ship to sail without insufficient lifeboats, sealing many passengers' fates.

So sorry for this mass catastrophe.

Michelle Drew, I think that what you said is right! I also feel horrible for the people that suffers loss.It was also a in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The owner of the White Star Lines, Bruce Ismay, was on board the Titanic that night. It was he who ordered Captain Smith to run full speed ahead. He wanted to break a speed record on Titanic's first voyage. It was he who ordered life boats removed, and it was he who jumped into a lifeboat with women and children and refused to step off. He was a slimy, disgusting little coward, and if any one person is to blame for 1,500 dead, it is surely him.

No body actually knows what happened but the must believed it that an iceberg hit it as they were going (big brain)😎

Honeysuckle Rose6214, totally agree

The Titancic actually sank on April 15 1912, not April 14 1912.

it WAS unsinkable.it had water compartments filled with water but not all the way to the top.when it hit the iceberg,the water in the compartments went all in the other compartments.one of the compartments was filled way to much that the ship shifted to one side and sank.
