The iron rivets that held together the metal that covered the ship weren't strong enough. So when the titanic hit the iceberg on it's side, the iron rivets popped out of their place due to the extremepressure Since the iron rivets were no longer attaching the metal to the ship. The sides of the titanic collapsed, letting in an extreme amount of water that filled the boiler rooms, then worked it's way up to cabins, until the ship had sunk.
