Best Answer

She was thought to be unsinkable because of so many features but, in fact, she never stood a chance.

We're talking about 46,000 tons of steel going about 25 mph smashing against something that's harder than granite. We all know that the tip of the iceberg means there's much more below water but this is also glacial ice. Glacial ice is not frozen water. It's densely compacted snow, so it's six times denser than the ice in your freezer.
