There has never been universal agreement over the number of lives lost in the sinking of the Titanic. Beginning with the first news reports of the disaster, inquirers have found it unwise to trust the original passenger and crew lists, which were rendered inaccurate by such factors as misspellings, omissions, aliases, and failure to count musicians and other contracted employees as either passengers or crew members. Agreement was made more difficult by the international nature of the disaster, essentially involving a British-registered liner under American ownership that carried more than 2,000 people of many nationalities. Immediately after the sinking, official inquiries were conducted by a special committee of the U.S. Senate (which claimed an interest in the matter on the grounds of the American lives lost) and the British Board of Trade (under whose regulations the Titanic operated). The figures established by these hearings are as follows:
U.S. Senate committee: 1,517 lives lost
British Board of Trade: 1,503 lives lost
Confusion over these figures was immediately aggravated by the official reports of these inquiries to the U.S. Senate and the British Parliament; these reports revised the numbers to 1,500 and 1,490, respectively. The figures have been revised, officially and unofficially, so many more times since 1912 that most researchers and historians concede that they will never know how many of the people sailing on the Titanic died.

There were 1,496 deaths on Titanic.
lol lolThe sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people
Approximately 8:00am on the 15th of April (that's when the Titanic survivors reach the Carpathia!)
Nobody was responsible for the 1,496 deaths. Even Captain Smith, who was not alive to defend himself at the inquiries, was exonerated through analysis of his timeline.
Accounts, based on testimony, vary concerning the number of Titanic survivors pulled into boats but amounts usually cite 12, 13, or 14 people (and deaths of those between three and seven).

Well, the obvious answer is that the Hindenburg was an airship (zeppelin), and the Titanic was an ocean liner. Most deaths in the Hindenburg were from fire or jumping from the airship, while most deaths on the Titanic were from drowning or exposure. Finally, there were many more deaths on the Titanic than on the Hindenburg.
Not enough life boats
There were 54 child-deaths on Titanic, 53 in third-class the only other one from first-class.

The gash in the side of the titanic from the iceberg was 350 feet long and 200 feet deep into the side. which aloowed water to get in which caused thetitanic to break in half an dthen sink. causing many deaths and tragedies.

The death toll was 2,223 people out of those there were: 1,347 men, 103 women, 685 workers, and 53 children. The reason there was so many more male deaths than women deaths is because women and children were sent out on life rafts first.
