Why didn't the captain of the Titanic take another route?
Even though the captain received iceberg warnings, they thought that they would see the iceberg in time to turn away. But because of the ship's massive size and speed, it would not turn away from the iceberg in time.

The echo of a ship's fog horn reflected from an iceberg is heard 8 seconds after the horn is sounded How far away is the iceberg?
The echo indicates an approximate distance of 1325.2 meters. At 0 degrees Celsius, sound travels at about 331.3 m/sec at sea level, so the sound travelled 2650.4 meters in 8 seconds. Half of that was on the way to the iceberg and half was the return time. * variations with pressure and humidity can affect the ideal speed, and it may range from 331.2 to 331.6 m/second.

If they're really close to the strike point - yes. If they're some distance away, they're unharmed.
If a felony with a strike is reduced to a misdemeanor does the strike go away?
There are no hard and fast rules on that subject that I am aware of. The fact that you DID have a 2nd felony, even though it was reduced down, will always be visible to the prosecutor and if you are ever involved in a third strike situation, they MAY use it against you to support the fact that you are a recidivist.
