Well, firstly because it was marvelous and enormous. It was huge, expensive (400.000.000 dollars) and the tickets as well.

Imagine that a mansion full of luxury disappear in the ocean, well this was even bigger than a mansion, and the things it contained were extremely expensive. For example, the famous stairs of the main hall.

A lot of the most rich people were in that trip, a lot of people died. They just freeze in the water. They didn't have any way to survive.

Since the Titanic was supposedly "unsinkable", there weren't enough lifeboats on board. Also, the rich people went into the lifeboats first, so the space wasn't maximized

I have two points to make here. R.M.S. Titanic was NEVER marketed as unsinkable. It was merely rumour around the ship builders yard that lead to this common misconception.

Secondly, I feel it important to say that although there were not enough lifeboats on board for all passengers and crew, there were more than the regulations of the time stated there must be, and more per head than any other vessel of the time.

: the lifeboats could have carried many more people. In addition, some people didn't believe the Titanic was actually sinking, so they just stayed aboard and hung out.

There were more people aboard than could fit in the lifeboats, and the water was extremely cold.
