The expected answer could be that there weren't enough lifeboats but to be more precise, they simply had no more time. The last lifeboat was virtually floated off Titanic. In addition we have to remember; At that time of year in that water the temperature was just above freezing. - Had people jumps from the ship in to warmer water there s a chance more would have survived by using their buoyancy survival jackets - Sadly most died in minutes because of hyperthermia or from injuries from jumping inot the water

Why would the titanic disaster not happen the same way today?

The Titanic sunk because of a misunderstanding. People thought it was such a grand and big boat so they never thought it would sink. Because of this, they did not put enough lifeboats to save any people in case there was an emergency. Out of the more than 2000 people on the Titanic, less than half of them survived.
