Titanic is built with metal and metal is stronger then ice so how did the Titanic sink?
The Ice is much stronger because this ice is not like an ice cube as an ice cube is filled with almost frozen water. the iceberg is filled with more ice. The ice can also cut through the ship by breaking the bolts and steel plates holding the ship up. It's believed that some of the rivets were made from defective steel. It is also believed that the iceberg only damaged compartments 2 and 3, but acoustic stress on the single hull caused it to crack, much like the Liberty Bell. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but the high sulfur content of the steel made it brittle when chilled by the Atlantic, causing it to crack like glass when it hit the iceberg. There are several more reasons why the iceberg crippled the Titanic, but I won't go into those.
