Titanic had good turning capability. She was only compromised because she only had about thirty seconds to do it.
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.
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.
it couldnt see it very well and once he could it was to late :(
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.

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.

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.
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.

it took the titanic 24 hours to turn 90 degrees This is preposterous, it took 37 seconds to turn 2 points and according to the British Inquiry into the loss of the Titanic she could turn 360 degrees in 412 seconds or almost 7 minutes.
The captain was not on the bridge to turn Titanic away from the iceberg but First Officer Murdoch gave the order to so do.
no it wouldn't sink if it didnt turn
