Why was Cyril Evans to blame for the sinking of titanic?

Because people thought if he was still on the radio he would have heard Titanic's distress call he would have told the captain and turn their direction to the Titanic and save everybody.


Did the Titanic turn into an artificial reef?

Yes, though it was not an intentional sinking, as many artificial reefs are made today. The Titanic is now home to numerous deep water denizens.

Conspiracy theories aside, to the best of our knowledge the iceberg was not seen early enough to allow the crew to do so.

Did Americans or British own built the Titanic?

JP Morgan was an American financier who had a controlling interest in the IMM: the International Mercantile Marine. This was a consortium of shipping interests that owned, among other things, the White Star Line, which in turn owned Titanic. As a foreigner, JP Morgan could not directly own Titanic, but he could own the COMPANY that owned Titanic.

Could the Titanic have escaped its fate if it had collided with the iceberg head on?

It is believed that had the Titanic hit the iceberg head on that it would have avoided the sinking. There is also another theory that it would have made it if they had not reversed the engines which caused it to slow down and made the turn harder to make.

Why did the titanic not turn quickly enough to avoid the titanic?

There wasn't much time to react once the iceberg had been spotted, and the ship's rudder was too small to effectively maneuver away.


What could Titanic's captain done for the Titanic not to sink?

Despite common rumor, not much. If he had gone slower, yes they would have noticed it from farther away, but it would have been harder to turn it away from the iceberg! And no, he was not going the fastest Titanic was expected to go. Titanic was never run at its highest speed, it never got the chance. They were expecting to hit top speed the next day. And ramming into it head first would have saved it from sinking (probably), but it would have killed everyone working in the front of the ship.
