>>219770208Unironically if they had just rammed the iceberg head on they would have stayed afloat several hours longer and had time for Carpathia to actually reach them so the lifeboats could be used as short term shuttles as intendedit's possible even California's radio operator would have woken up and gotten the ship over in time

>>219770388>if they had just rammed the iceberg head on they would have stayed afloat several hours longerThey would have stayed afloat indefinitely and sailed all the way to New York, even with their bow destroyed. The impact would have injured quite a few people though.

>>219772152Yes which is why the captain went down with his ship. He couldn't face the shame of facing the admiralty after panicking and failing to execute the classic "ram the iceberg" technique

Why didn't they just gather all the passengers to the stern and then run all together to the bow and dive under the iceberg?

>>219772594LOL

couldn't they have flipped the lifeboats upside down to create a pocket of air to walk on the ocean floor to safety?

why didn't they give all the passengers jetpacks??
Why didn’t they just fire a long range bazooka at the Californian?

>>219773956It was 1912, no one kept them maintained due to the lax equipment regulations at the time
why didn't they just ask the eagles to fly everyone out
>>219773440Was plowing into icebergs head on an accepted survival technique?
>>219773664Yes but the water was too cold. Now why they didn't just take the metal off the ship and construct a new boat in the time they had still baffles me. Like dude, your current boat doesn't work anymore, build another one you fucking idiots.
>Initiate self-destruct sequence: 30 million minute silent countdown.
>>219774059Yes, because generally the front doesn't fall off
>>219774144But they did, it's called the Olympic
They had horrible luck that the first berg spotted in the ice field was directly in front of them on a dark night with still waters. They could have definitely survived a head-on collision, but the captain would have been crucified for the deaths it caused. They would have stressed that even if they failed to fully avoid the iceberg, it's unlikely 4 or more compartments would have been breached. What happened needed to happen because of human hubris. It put the blame on everybody and showcased their ignorance. The amount of people that didn't take things seriously such as other nearby ships, to passengers and crew.

Why freeze to death in the ocean when you can just jump onto the ice berg?

>>219770208>sir were on a submarine there are no escape pods
>>219770208> try turning it off an back on again…
What if there had been a way to fishtail the ship and turn it sideways before hitting the iceberg? With a single blow to the side, not a scraping along the length. Would that have been better than ramming the front straight into it?
>>219770388Real answer seems to be they should have done the same "port around" maneuver to steer around it, but maintaining the ship's forward speed, not stopping or reversing the engines which reduced the rudder's effectiveness and the ability to steer
The movie lied about Bruce Ismay.And all the other historical male characters
>>219770208>>219771567>>219771593If I was on that ship with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that in that and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to dock somewhere safely, don't worry.'
>>219772146The Japanese wouldn't have suck it that's for sure
>>219774254What is an iceberg hits it?
>>219779235>And all the other historical male charactersWhat about the drunk chef?
>>219778933This. Reversing the engines makes sense if you're gonna ram it head on. If you want to go around it, then maintaining speed is better. But ramming it is objectively the best course of action because you don't know what the iceberg looks like under the surface.HOWEVER, hitting the iceberg would not have been an issue had the shipbuilder used proper, steel rivets on the hull. They were cutting costs and used sub-par, wrought iron rivets. These shitty rivets broke under extreme strain because of all the impurities.

>>219771593>micks>passengers>Let me explain what the ballast is, kiddo.
>>219773249well if they're party on top of the iceberg maybe they wouldn't sink and thus the plot would've been exposed
No way would I ever board a ship unless it had missiles and torpedos on board. You're insane to do otherwise.
So is it true that the SS Californian sat within visual range of the Titanic while it sank and did fuck all?That's what Wikipedia seems to imply.
>>219783681What were they supposed to do? There were deadly ice bergs all over the fuckin place
>>219783811Carpathia steamed at full speed through the night and made it there, that's no excuse.The sea condition was perfect, they could have gone there with boats to pick up people from the sea.
>>219783845They held back so we could see Kate Winslet topless in the film adaptation.
>>219770208What can Men do against such reckless ice?
>>219783681jp morgan was on there watching
What the fuck was his problem?
>>219770388If they had just sailed around the iceberg they would have been completely fine and wouldn't have needed help at all.
>>219784762They violated his NAP
>>219784762No one knows. If I were there I would have listened to what the iceberg had to say, and that's what no one did.
>>219773387DUDE VIDEOGAMES LMAO
>>219783681>see ship fire emergency flares>they're not the right color>"they're just having a party"
>>219770388hitting ice at speeds makes the ice even stronger you fool
>>219784786the iceberg was practically invisible because the moonlight was hidden by clouds that night, by the time the watchman actually spotted it, it was too late. it would have been physically impossible to sail around it at that point. the only option was eitherreduce speed and turn, hoping to avoid a direct hitor reduce speed and hit it straight on.as others have pointed out already, hitting it straight on might have ended up saving more lives because of how Titanic was constructed. It would have sustained heavy damage, but its ability to float wouldn't have been compromised.by steering and allowing the iceberg to scrape from the side, more watertight compartments were breached than Titanic could sustain, which led to its sinking.
>>219785748wouldnt have gone down like that if i were there
>>219779235>Turndown collar instead of wing collar Literally unwatchable
Why didn't they just steer a course 0.1° further south from England?
>>219785748What you say is true, but it wasn't cloud cover. It was a completely cloudless night, it just so happened that there was no moon that night. That's what made it so deadly cold, as well. Cloud cover would have meant the air was at least a little bit warmer, if not by much.
>>219770208https://youtu.be/-YDkBrWEOhM?si=mexRaO9wnFk-ukZzThey should have just dropped the anchor and drifted around the iceberg

>>219771593Killing the guys on board that were against the Federal Reserve Act was the entire point. And the insurance fraud of course.
>>219785309Hitting ice at that speed would be just like hitting a wall of solid water
Why didn't they simply jump the Iceberg
>>219770615Kek
>>219778519That’s known as the Captain Ron Maneuver.
Wait so the secret to defeating the Titanic was just raping it with an iceberg? What the fuck?
>>219772196It was a good day to drown. I bet the Enterprise would have shown up if they put their hearts into it.
>>219770306>Did I stutter!??
>>219785748>reduce speed and turn, hoping to avoid a direct hit or reduce speed and hit it straight on.First Officer Murdoch fucked up and ordered engines stopped. It's been argued that because of the lack of propulsion, the ship couldn't turn properly and keeping it cruising or reversing might have saved the ship. But we'll never know.
Why didn't the eagles just fly the passengers to safety?
