The titanic hit an iceberg and the ship sank. The captain and crew were under a great deal of pressure to make a record run. They were over confident and steaming to fast in sea lanes where icebergs were know to be.

because the captain and the owner were stupid and prideful and the owner asked the captain to increase the speed of the ship so they could get to new york quicker and make headlines of being faster and yet the captain gets an ice warning and still orders more speed so when they approach the iceberg they were going so fast that they didn't have enough time to slow down and turn to avoid the iceberg there for they hit it causing the disaster and also they cursed the ship from the beginning by saying oh GOD HIMSELF COULD NOT SINK THIS SHIP well he proved them wrong now didn't he.

The ships lookout saw a large iceberg, and command was sent to the engine room for evasive maneuver, but the huge ship could not respond quickly enough, and glanced the iceberg, ripping open six connected underwater compartments, dooming the ship.
