When the Titanic had sunk on April 15th, 1912, the radio officers before the sinking had lost their wireless radio and nobody could contact them to make sure that nothing was going wrong. They also had it set up to where you had shifts using the wireless radio, so there was a time where nobody was their to hear your cries for help or anything. That was a big problem when the Titanic had sunk because they couldn't have gotten the singles out soon enough and so therefor, it caused more people to die and less ships to help the survivors. So congress passed a law saying that their needed to be someone always available and someone always working the wireless radio. That is my small summary of the Radio Act of 1912.
