Best Answer

The wreck of the Titanic remains the largest single passenger ship disaster of all time; thousands of people were killed, including many wealthy Americans, some of whom were never recovered from the wreakage. The Titanic tragedy is also a powerful symbol of human arrogance, since the ship was said to be "unsinkable." However, The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, a victim of a "perfect storm" of human errors: flaws in the execution of its construction, the thoughtless actions of its chief radio operator, and the crew's and passengers' mistaken belief that the ship was indestructable.
