Why did'nt the titanic move out of the way of the iceberg?
It did try to but it was such a large and heavy ship that it couldn't move all that way in such little time.
Who dicided to turn the titanic away from the iceberg?
First Officer Murdoch made the executive decision to steer Titanic "hard to starboard" to try to port-round the iceberg. He also called "full astern" for the engines, but that did not help to slow the ship much if any - probably causing more harm than good in the ship trying to turn.
How long did the titanic have to try to avoid the iceberg?
Not long. Between the spotting of the berg and the collision was less than forty seconds.
How for sure did the titanic hit the ice berg?
100%. Titanic hit an iceberg and sank from it without a doubt, though some people have created conspiracy theories many decades later to try to make things more dramatic.
Why did the captain of the Titanic try to go around the iceberg?
The captain was not present at the time of the collision but the First Officer DID give commands to avoid the berg - rather than risk a head-on collision.

How do you get the iceberg catalog?

Why did the Titanic crash into the iceberg?
Unlike other disasters, the Titanic's sinking by an iceberg on April 14-15, 1912, is seldom disputed. However, the reasons for the actual collision are often debated. Two separate inquests were conducted after the sinking. One was the US Senate hearing (April 19, 1912 in New York, and April 26-May 28, 1912 in Washington) and the other the official Board of Inquiry in London, beginning May 2, 1912. Testimony at these hearings pointed out the following possibilities for contributing causes : * The wireless telegraph operators aboard the Titanic (who were not ship's crew) failed to promptly alert the crew of iceberg warnings reported by two ships in the area. * Although icebergs were likely, and lookouts posted, the ship failed to stop for the night as other ships in the area did. * The dark, moonless night precluded the observation of the iceberg until collision was imminent. * Either of the bridge commands reported by surviving crew would have reduced the ability of the Titanic to turn (either into, or away from the iceberg). Either "full astern" or "full stop" would have stopped the main propeller, and thereby slowed any turns. In any event, the buckling of the Titanic's hull flooded five compartments, and the water overtopped the bulkheads into other areas. This design flaw was never addressed on either of the other two ships of the class.

How fast was the Titanic moving?
It took the RMS Titanic approximately 2 hours 38 minutes from hitting the iceberg to cracking in half. After it cracked in half, the hull plummeted to the ocean floor in about 5 minutes, and the stern took corkscrewed down to the ocean floor about 2 miles deep. So that's a pace of 24 miles per hour on average speed!
