Titanic received seven or eight ice warnings from vessels such as the Mesaba, the Noordam, the Amerika, Caronia, Baltic, Californian, Rappahannock, and La Touraine.
The Captain was given some but not all.
Not precisely but the sinking of Titanic has had, by far, the most predictions and premonitions of any disaster. There were at least 19 documented fears about Titanic (people writing letters or confiding in others).
There were 3 ice warnings received by Titanic on the day of the collision. They were all ignored by the wireless operator who was preoccupied with transmitting passenger messages.
Titanic received six warnings of icebergs by telegraph and three more by signal lamp. Warning ships include: Mesaba, the Noordam, the Amerika, Caronia, Baltic, Californian, Rappahannock, and La Touraine.
Over the days leading up to the accident Captain Smith received general warnings of icebergs in the area and slightly altered course. Later a message from the steamer 'Amerika' warned of icebergs directly in the Titanics path, these however were not passed on the Captain by radio operators; Jack Phillips and Harold Bride. Later a further warning from the vessel 'Mesaba' also failed to reach the bridge.
Fredrick Fleet and Reginald Lee were the two seamen that actually saw the icebergs from the Titanic and raised the alarm but by which point it was too late.
Yes, there were five warning from other ships.
They were warned several times over a 24 hr period by Morse Code that their was iceberg activity in the path of the Titanic. These warnings were ignored
Yes, ships were available many years before the Titanic. The Titanic is one of the most famous ships of its time because of the elaborateness with which it was created, and the subsequent disaster.
Can we blame the Captain of Titanic for her sinking? There were warnings of bergs in the water in that area. Also, the Titanic was moving quickly, and this is opposite a strategy to avoid bergs. If a ship was to slow down, it would have a better chance of not rushing up on a berg. Additionally, though it was clear, it was calm. Calm seas have no waves (naturally), and no waves means no wave action at the base of a berg. Wave action at the base of a berg allows an observer a better chance of seeing it in the darkness because of the white water generated by the waves slamming into the berg. The C.O. of the RMS Titanic was Captain Edward John Smith. Captain Smith was under pressure from White Star Line to get to New York "quickly" for the sake of news "hype" and advertising. When the berg was spotted, Titanicattempted to evade and was slashed open. The combination of the nearness of the iceberg when spotted and the ship's speed sealed the deal. Paradoxically, if she'd driven head on into the berg (even as fast as she was going), Titanic may well have survived. But we'll never know. The board of inquiry had to do without the presence of Captain Smith, who went down with his ship. There certainly was enough blame to go around, regardless of who is singled out by any observer. A link can be found below with more information than you might want.
Typically, only about 10% of any iceberg is above sea-level. This is why we know that the berg that Titanic struck was far larger than the ship.
Thousands were on the Titanic.
Buoyancy, the total weight of the vessel has to displace that same weight of water. If the volume of the water displaced is less than the volume of the ship, or any other object for that matter, then it will float.
The passengers on Titanic did not see any ice after the collision. The berg that struck was too far behind because she was traveling at almost top speed at the time of her collision and Capt. Smith briefly ordered to move again, putting more distance between her and the berg.
maybe

Yes. In most cases a warning is issued before a tornado strikes.

No. Tornado warnings did not exist at the time. Such warnings did not begin until the 1950s.
No. The only warning there should be is to earn you to wash the pesticides off of them before you eat them, but it's not there.
No, Yung Berg isn't in any gang.

Earthquakes are very difficult to predict before hand. The most anyone could really do is prepare for the after effects.
Thousands were on the Titanic.
