Because the Titanic made a sharp turn trying to avoid the iceberg the iceberg scraped a long gash in and through the ship's side, which caused massive flooding. It has been argued by some nautical specialists that if the ship's crew would not have noticed the iceberg it would have rammed it head-on, causing damage that might have been much easier to contain and which would not have led to the sinking of the ship.
