What is the resolution of Titanic?

The Titanic originally went down by hitting an iceberg and splitting in half. Scientists have proved, though, that the impact of hitting the iceberg caused the ship to buckle and collapse. 705 people survived and the rest (estimated 1552) drowned. The ships captain, Captain Smith, was attempting to beat the record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean so he was going extremely fast. The ship didn't have enough lifeboats for everyone, although the first lifeboat could hold 40 and set off with 12, and the second could hold 30 and set of with 7. Your class also affected your survival. The third class people were accused of being diseased and were locked down in their cabins to drown. First class people got on the first lifeboats; though the women and children of the first class were the first off. Many second class people were mistaken for third class and locked down below the deck, but many were also mistaken for first class. Unlike tradition, the Captain was one of the first off, although he died of hypothermia (which is when you get too cold). Many other passengers died of hypothermia but their life jackets kept them afloat so they floated and froze. No third class people survived.
