It seems as though there is a larger amount of disaster happening now, however we have to remember that that's how life is. In the past there have always been disasters. Volcanic Eruptions, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Etc. We just take note to them now as they affect our lives.
No, the sinking of the RMS Titanic was not a natural disaster. By definition, a natural disaster is a disaster caused by natural forces (like a hurricane or an earthquake), rather than by human action. Though the main cause of the RMS Titanic's sinking was the effect of hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage in April 1912, the other cause was human error. So, natural causes did not explicitly cause the RMS Titanic to sink.
Primary sources such as survivor testimonies and official inquiries like the British and American investigations into the sinking of the Titanic provide insights into why the ship sank. Factors contributing to the disaster included the ship hitting an iceberg, design flaws like the compartmentalization of the hull, lack of sufficient lifeboats, and mismanagement of the emergency response.

The Titanic disaster demonstrated to the Politians how outdated safety laws were at the time. Until then ship operators had pressured the Politians to keep out dated laws in place for thier finacial benifit. So this disaster became a very political thing.
