Should of the titanic of hit the iceberg streat on?
Titanic hitting the iceberg straight on has been proposed many times. There is a picture of the Arizona which had a head-on collision and although she survived it with a crumpled bow, it's agreed that at the speed Titanic was heading, a head-on impact would have been catastrophic, buckling the entire hull and she would have sunk in minutes, not hours.
Why did the Titanic sink head first?
the iceberg opened the front 5 compartments and these compartmants start to flood.this made titanic tilt and sank head first.
Why did the Titanic break when sinking?
Technically yes. The Titanic ran into an iceberg. The Titanic was built to withstand a head-on collision with an iceberg however it ran into the berg from the side which tore a hole into the hull. . . It is speculated that the Titanic would not have sunk if she ran straight into the iceberg however this is merely a speculation because it is impossible to go back in time and change it. . .
How serious was the damage caused by the accident of titanic?
Because the Titanic made a sharp turn trying to avoid the iceberg the iceberg scraped a long gash in and through the ship's side, which caused massive flooding. It has been argued by some nautical specialists that if the ship's crew would not have noticed the iceberg it would have rammed it head-on, causing damage that might have been much easier to contain and which would not have led to the sinking of the ship.
Why did the titanic go sideways instead of straight?
The crew tried to avoid the iceberg entirely, but ships of that size can't make quick course changes.At the speed they were travelling, and at the distance the iceberg was spotted at, all they managed to do was to turn a head-on collision into a sideswipe.AnswerThe Titanic did not hit head on because the boat crew knew that the Titanic was designed to hit boats head on, but not icebergs; the iceberg was many times bigger then the titanic. The crew took evasive action.The size of the iceberg was so enormous that almost all experts in engineering agree that the force of a head on collision would have been so great the Titanic would have sunk within minuets instead of two hours. The force would have a rippling effect and would have traveled from the tip of the ship all across its bulkhead breaking rivets from bow to stern causing catostophic damage killing many more people then it did. I got no bae at least for todday! ;)
What is the theory that if titanic carried on that it wouldn't of hit the iceberg?
There is no such theory. If Titanic had not steered, she would have been destroyed by a head-on collision with the iceberg.
Would the Titanic have sank if it had hit the iceberg head on?
idont know
Could the Titanic have escaped its fate if it had collided with the iceberg head on?
It is believed that had the Titanic hit the iceberg head on that it would have avoided the sinking. There is also another theory that it would have made it if they had not reversed the engines which caused it to slow down and made the turn harder to make.

Titanic iceberg headon?
No. It's happened previously. There's a famous picture of the Arizona (1879) having destroyed it's bow from a head-on crash but still floating and sailing intact, but no officer in good consciense would allow a head-on crash.
What would have happend if titanic hit the iceberg slower?
Titanic was travelling at about 22 knots with 46,000 tons on her, striking something that was larger and denser than she was. If Titanic hit the iceberg head-on, she would have crumpled like an Accordion and sunk within minutes, not hours. Nobody would have had to time to board any lifeboat or call for help, all hands would have been lost, and her fate (and location) would have been a mystery.
Why the titanic ship sunk when it ran in to iceberg?
The reason Titanic sank from the iceberg: It tore open a 300-foot long gash on the Starboard side, exposing the six forward, water-tight compartments to the sea. The moment all six were exposed, Titanic's death was a certainty. Had it been a head on collision, she would have survived, and continued on to New York. However, when Boiler Room 6 went under, Titanic's fate was sealed. Two hours and forty minutes later at 2:22 P.M. on April 15, 1912, Titanic hit the ocean floor.
