Could the titanic survive if they hit the iceburg head on?

Yes, it is likely. The fact that the ship was turned starboard in a vain attempt to avoid the iceburg caused the metal on the side of the ship to be scraped deeply. This caused water to fill up far more compartments than would have likely filled up if the Titanic had hit the iceburg head on. The Titanic may have still sunk in this instance, we can never be sure, but far more time would have been allotted for the passengers of the Titanic in order for rescue to come.
