Unlike other disasters, the Titanic's sinking by an iceberg on April 14-15, 1912, is seldom disputed. However, the reasons for the actual collision are often debated. Two separate inquests were conducted after the sinking. One was the US Senate hearing (April 19, 1912 in New York, and April 26-May 28, 1912 in Washington) and the other the official Board of Inquiry in London, beginning May 2, 1912. Testimony at these hearings pointed out the following possibilities for contributing causes : * The wireless telegraph operators aboard the Titanic (who were not ship's crew) failed to promptly alert the crew of iceberg warnings reported by two ships in the area. * Although icebergs were likely, and lookouts posted, the ship failed to stop for the night as other ships in the area did. * The dark, moonless night precluded the observation of the iceberg until collision was imminent. * Either of the bridge commands reported by surviving crew would have reduced the ability of the Titanic to turn (either into, or away from the iceberg). Either "full astern" or "full stop" would have stopped the main propeller, and thereby slowed any turns. In any event, the buckling of the Titanic's hull flooded five compartments, and the water overtopped the bulkheads into other areas. This design flaw was never addressed on either of the other two ships of the class.
