No because even if the doors was open the water would have come in too fast and where would the water go
The Titanic could stay afloat with any two of her compartments flooded or with the first four flooded.
some of them did but only 3 out of 6 water tite doors worker 3 got filed with water and sank the titanic
because they were to worrid to think about that
There are SIXTEEN watertight compartments on the titanic
Titanic stayed afloat for two hours and forty minutes after the collision with the iceberg.
It was considered so. Because of the system of watertight compartments. It was also thought to be "unsinkable" because it was such a big ship. It was the biggest ship ever (biggest and best) and noone things the biggest (and/or best) will ever fail (sink) Today it is not know as the unsinkable Titanic and before it sank nobody said it was unsinkable. The closest anybody came to saying it was unsinkable was on a poster advertising the ship saying Titanic is as unsinkable as is reasonably possible.
First Officer William Murdoch was in charge of the ship when it crashed. Captain Smith was the official captain, but Murdoch was, I believe, in charge at the moment. Many people don't know that the damage would have not been as much if they collided with the berg head-on. Titanic probably would have stayed afloat long enough for most to survive and for help to arrive.
Many people stayed on the ship because they thought the Titanic was not sinking and it was safer.

Hello? It hit an iceberg didn't it? And then 5 compartments filled up (it couldve stayed afloat with 4 compartents filled up) so yeah. Did you know? If the Titanic had hit the iceberg straight on, they might not have sank. Instead of doing this though, they turned and it made a hUGE scrape.

He stayed in the cold water for too long
Of the 2,208 passengers sailing Titanic, 389 of the survivors were women-and-children.
The lights on the titanic stayed on for four minutes until sea water flooded the generator room
Contrast completion stated that 1,513 people stayed on board the Titanic when it went down, taking them with her Formulation stated that there was 2,217 people on board Summarization states that there was 4 classes of people on the Titanic: First-Class Second-Class Third-Class and the Crew
Titanic had been advertised as being ' unsinkable'. Many people stayed on board thinking it would just settle down eventually and everyone would be safe. Wrong - the iceberg tore a long slit along the hull, causing several compartments to be flooded - too many for the ship to remain afloat.
