How do you sink a cruise ship?
Stay in the private dining room with a good looking blonde while the ship runs aground... (see Costa Concordia)
Was the titanic the last ship that sunk until concordia?
No. Hundreds of ships and boats sink every year, though most of these sinkings are not significant enough to make the news. Here are just a few major sinkings in between Titanic and Costa Concordia. 1912- Titanic 1914- Lusitania 1915- Empress of Ireland 1916- Britannic 1945- Wilhelm Gustoff 1956- Andrea Doria 1991- Oceanos 2012- Costa Concordia
When did the costa concordia crash?
Well it was 9:30 pm when a big rock scrapped a hole in the side of the hull and the whole ship shaked. Then, water started to fill in the hole where the diesel generators were, they soon gave out and the engines started to shut down.the Concordia was at the the mercy of the waves and wind. The Concordia started to shift a mile at sea. Luckily a gust of wind pushed them back to the shore of the island. On the boat people couldn't get off because the captain didn't give them orders to abandon ship. Later they were able to, but there still was a lot more people on board. Now the ship was sinking to the starburst side Alot of people jumped and swam, and 32 died, ship directors say if the wind didn't push them back close to shore hundreds or maybe thousands would have died that day.
Were all lifeboats used on the titanic?
Yes, all used lifeboats were used on Titanic. This made her unique because she is the only major vessel to sink after having discharged all of her lifeboats. That certainly did not happen for Lusitania, Britannic, the Costa Concordia or anything else.
What is an interesting fact of the Titanic?
An interesting fact of Titanic could be that she is the only major vessel to sink directly forward. Virtually every other sinking ship has listed to either port or starboard like the Andrea Doria, the Normandie, and in more recent memory, the Costa Concordia.
When did the Eastland sink?
That happened in 1915.
Why the titanic would not sink today?
Ships still do sink, check out "Costa Concordia" for example. Or "Jan Heweliusz". Or "Estonia".Things that make a Titanic-style accident less likely today are:Radar on the ship to spot big icebergsNight-Vision-Goggles or binoculars to help spot smaller icebergsSatellite and surveillance aircraft providing ice reports.Welded hull plates that'd resist the impact betterThe ship divided into fully waterproof as opposed to kinda-sorta waterproof sections.Stronger engines and better rudders giving the captain more control over the ship
Did the titanic really tip vertical?
Titanic really did tip vertical. In fact, she is the only major vessel to sink while tipping forward.Virtually every other sinking ship has listed to either port or starboard. Like the Andrea Doria. In New York the Normandie flipped over and spent the whole war on her side, and in more recent memory there was the Costa Concordia.
