The Titanic could have been saved by another ship but the messager on that ship had gone to bed a few minutes before the titanic sent out the distress call.

The Californian was the closest ship to the Titanic at the time of the sinking. There are accounts by Titanic officers that they could see her on the horizon, and could see her running lights. She had stopped for the night and her wireless operator had retired for the evening. Attempts to flash her via Morse lamp (these were located on the bridge's wing cabs, on both port and starboard sides, next to the red and green running lights) were unsuccessful, and she only learned of the terrible tragedy the next morning, when her marconi operator manned the set. To answer the question, had the Californian's wireless operator been awake at the time Titanic sent out distress calls, 1,500 people may not have lost their lives that day.

What happens if the Titanic survived?

maybe it would survived. if the titanic (if easier) went through the iceberg, instead of moving on the other side, it would have less water in it and it would be easier to close the water carpartments.


If all the ships lifeboats were filled to capacity how many people could have been saved?

the capacity of the boats on Titanic was 1,178. 2,208 people were sailing her the night of the sinking. If all seats were occupied, then 1030 people would still be on Titanic (as opposed to the 1,496 that really were).


What could have been reduced to spelt the end of titanic?

The sinking of the Titanic could have been avoided with a combination of factors such as slower speeds in icy waters, improved lookout measures, and the use of binoculars. Additionally, better communication and response to iceberg warnings might have allowed the ship to change course in time. Finally, if the ship had been equipped with more lifeboats, more passengers could have been saved during the disaster.


Could there still be bodies on the Titantic?

Yes but it is highly unlikely. The lack of oxygen and the cold water the Titanic is in would tend to preserve bodies or anything else organic. However, the current and length of time the Titanic has been submerged would probably allow enough oxygen to have passed through the ship's hull of microorganisms and smaller bottom-scavenging animals to have consumed everything inside.

Could more people have been saved on titanic boats?

If there had been more lifeboats aboard the Titanic, then yes more people could have been saved. There was time and capacity to save more lives even with the original amount of lifeboats, but because of the lack obvious signs of damage and danger, many were reluctant to leave the boat to get on the much smaller lifeboats. The lifeboats were designed to hold 40 people, but many were launched only partly full.


Why would it have been impossible for all the passengers to be saved on the Titanic?

There were more passengers and crew than the lifeboats could hold.

What could have been done to pervent the loss of lives on the titanic?

Most of the people would have survived if they had more lifeboats, and didn't shut the water-tight doors. Not shutting the doors would let the water balance out and not sink one side so that it wouldn't break the titanic in half, and even if that wouldn't work, they would have saved a lot of people if they had more lifeboats.


What problems kept some people from being saved on the titanic?
