The titanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1175 people. But, the titanic wa overloaded and carried over 2000 passengers on board! It also claimed that the titanic was 'unsinkable', with 16 water tight compartments. They said that it could stay afloat with 4 of these 16 compartments flooded! No consideration or planning had been given to emergency situations. It is also agrued that safety was sacrificed for entertainent. A swimming pool, sports deck, and elevators too up valuable space that could have been used for lifeboats and storage. They rushed the builiding of it, and Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the Titanic, thought that too many lifeboats ruining the appearance of the boat.
