Would Titanic Have Survived If It Had Collided Head-On With The Iceberg?

The video discusses the Titanic disaster, focusing on the collision with an iceberg and the resulting catastrophic loss of life and property. It examines various hypotheses on how the impact could have been minimized, particularly the theory that a head-on collision might have reduced damage. However, the video critiques this theory, highlighting the potential for greater harm and faster sinking. It concludes that a head-on collision would not have saved the ship and explores other suggestions for minimizing destruction.

What was one of the main hypotheses proposed to minimize the damage from the Titanic's collision?

• Using a different route

• Avoiding the iceberg entirely

• Colliding head-on with the iceberg

• Increasing the ship's speed

What was the proposed benefit of the Titanic colliding head-on with the iceberg?

• The ship would have sunk faster

• The ship would have stopped immediately

• The damage would have been spread evenly

• Fewer watertight compartments would have been flooded

Why do some experts criticize the head-on collision theory?

• The bulkheads were not designed for iceberg collisions

• The ship would have been too slow to react

• The iceberg was too large to avoid

• The ship's crew was inexperienced

What would have been a consequence of a head-on collision according to critics?

• The ship would have remained afloat

• The ship would have stopped gradually

• The ship would have absorbed most of the impact energy

• The ship would have avoided any damage

What is the conclusion about the head-on collision theory?

• It would have saved the ship

• It was the best option available

• It is entirely untrue

• It would have caused less damage
