Best Answer

The captain of the titanic wanted to reach New York in record time, the captain decided to take a detour to try and achieve this goal, a iceberg was spotted as it was pitch black they could hardly see, and the engineers put the titanic into reverse gear which was a big mistake, if they kept at the same speed they could have avoided it and gotten closer to New York or atleast another ship.

anyway... the titanic began to fill up with sea water as did the lifeboats with people, stranded in ice cold water for 4 hours, Man, woman and child lost their lives to the sea.

No ships were in the radius of the Titanic, and it would've taken a long time to get out to them.
