Mystery of titanic

We all knew that titanic sank due to an iceberg. Well, scientist proved it wrong. R.M.S titanic was so big that it was indestructible and a high-quality metal was also used to built the massive ship. Recent findings state that there are many ways due to which R.M.S titanic sank. The first reason states it was due to fire. A journalist, Senon Molony was studying the fate of titanic for more than 30 years, it is he who discovered a 30 feet long black spot at the bottom of ship. The fire was burning for at least 3 weeks, at a very high temperature. Scientist announced that this could easily make a metal weak by as much as 75%. That’s why the iceberg was possible to make a massive hole at the bottom of the ship. The management actually knew about this but if they would stop the ship from its journey then it would be bankruptcy for them. The second reason says that there were no binoculars on the ship. But the binoculars were locked in a room, the only person with the key was the second officer David blair, he was replaced at the last moment. He forgot the key to give to the new officer. If the binoculars were there then the crew could get to know about the iceberg from far away. The third reason states that the ship was moving at a very fast speed. The ship was not designed for this purpose. The forth reason states that there were not adequate boats. For a ship like titanic it needed 60 boats but the management ignored it and added 20 boats on the board because at that time the law stated that the number of boats were not compared by the number of people instead of it, it was compared by the tonnage of ship. Another reason was that at the time of sail, rescue drill never took place. Last reason was that at the time of accident only 47 people were on each rescue boats but the actual amount was 65 persons. This was a very big mistake due to which two third of people of titanic lost their lives on that night.
