The Titanic's hitting the iceberg was a factor in the incident but it would not have sunk:
- If the Captain had paid attention to the potential for icebergs in the area and slowed down
- If the steel in the hull was not brittle and pro to propagate damageI
- Even with the improper steel the proper design of the water tight chambers would have confined the flooding.
- The poor design and inferior steel resulted from uncontrolled cost cutting.
- The cost cutting resulted from poor management decisions
Even given the damage lives could have been saved if:
- There were enough life boats
- The life boats were calculated based on passenger capacity, not just "the rules"
- The rules would have been argued if the drive to save money was not so over riding
This process is called fault tree analysis or base cause analysis. It lets you avoid the obvious answer to find the true answer.
In this case all problems lead to poor engineering and faulty management.
