Why the Unsinkable, Sinked in such a fateful way

April 10, 1912, the day that marked the beginning of the grandest voyage in the history of
the world. The Titanic, the colossal and luxurious ship that took 1,200 days to build, was
ready to embark on its maiden journey.

But what happened next shook the entire world. Why did the Titanic, the epitome of modern
engineering and luxury, sink in just two hours? The answer to this question still haunts the
minds of many.

On that day, the Atlantic Ocean was calm and there was no chance of a sea storm for miles
around. Fifteen hundred passengers had already boarded the ship, and hundreds of
thousands of people were standing on top to witness the beginning of Titanic's first journey.

Neither the passengers nor the millions of people bidding farewell to them, nor the Titanic
crew knew that the ship that was about to set sail was built with such grave errors that would
make it the victim of one of the worst disasters in history.

Once again, Welcome back to the video's of Timeless Unity.

Today, we're going to uncover the six fatal mistakes that caused the sinking of the mighty
Titanic - the most expensive, luxurious, and powerful ship of its time.

Imagine sailing on a ship that was said to be unsinkable, only to be struck by tragedy. If
these mistakes hadn't been made, the Titanic might still be sailing the seas today. But
instead, it became world-famous for its tragic end.

It's hard to believe that even Captain Edward Smith, who had forty years of experience
sailing ships like the Titanic, didn't notice these mistakes. And it's not just him. The company
operating Titanic had experience operating 107 ships before, yet they missed these six
mistakes too.

But wait, it gets even more shocking. The company that built the Titanic, Holland, and Wolff,
had manufactured over 500 ships before, but still, they missed these fatal errors.

It was the year 1907 when the construction of the Titanic began. It took almost three years of
hard work by two thousand workers to prepare the ship for its maiden voyage. But even after
all that effort, the task of testing the ship was still pending.

However, the confidence of the makers grew stronger when the Titanic successfully
completed its first test run. The news spread like wildfire, and the whole world was talking
about the "Unsinkable Titanic." An unsinkable ship had been built, or so they thought.

The ship's first journey was scheduled to start on the 10th of April, 1912, from Southampton,
England, with the destination being the bustling city of New York in America. And as the
tickets went on sale, people from all over the world booked their seats to witness the
grandeur of the Titanic.
The economy class tickets were priced at thirty dollars, while the first-class tickets were one
hundred and fifty dollars - a princely sum that would amount to four thousand dollars in
today's world!

So, get ready to discover the secrets behind the sinking of the Titanic and the mistakes that
led to its demise. You won't believe how a few seemingly small oversights led to such a
devastating tragedy.

Mistake Number One;

It was high noon when the Titanic set sail on her inaugural journey, embarking on a voyage
that would reveal her secrets and scandals. But little did Captain Smith know, the Titanic
was already on a collision course with disaster.

The ship's owners had given him a strict deadline - reach New York in just seven days by
April 16th - no matter what. With this pressure weighing heavily on his shoulders, Captain
Smith pushed the ship to breakneck speeds right from the start, which turned out to be the
Titanic's first fatal mistake.

As the ship raced towards its destination, it encountered a series of obstacles that would
ultimately lead to its tragic end. Every vehicle, machine, or ship has its own set of rules and
regulations, and the Titanic was no different. But little did anyone know, the part that was
crucial to the Titanic's safety had been ignored from the very beginning.

In a matter of hours, the ship had left the port of Southampton so far behind that the only
thing visible for miles around was the vast expanse of the ocean. What mysteries awaited
the passengers on board? The Titanic's maiden voyage was about to become a journey
shrouded in enigma and tragedy.

Mistake Number Two

Three days had passed since the magnificent Titanic had embarked on its journey toward
the great New York City. The ship had made a brief stop in France and Ireland but had been
cruising steadily towards its destination for the past 72 hours.

It was a dark and misty evening on April 14, 1912, and the sea was eerily silent. The poor
visibility made it difficult to spot anything in the distance. But little did anyone know that
danger was lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike.

Just a few hours ahead of the Titanic, another ship had spotted icebergs floating in the sea
and had warned the Titanic via wireless. But due to the shortage of wireless operators, the
crucial warnings were missed! Can you believe it? Not once, not twice, but at least six times!
Experts believe that if these warnings had been taken seriously, the entire course of events
could have changed.

But alas, the Titanic was the first of its kind luxury ship, and most of the crew was busy
serving the first-class passengers, who were living it up in style. Little did they know that
these warnings could have saved their lives. It was the second mistake of the Titanic's crew,
and it was a grave one indeed.

Mistake Number Three

On that fateful night, the Titanic was sailing at breakneck speed, and the crew had already
received a crucial warning. Despite the looming danger, the Titanic sailed boldly toward an
iceberg, as if it had a date with destiny.

But, all was not lost! The ship had lookouts whose job was to alert the captain of any
potential dangers ahead. However, these brave souls were handicapped by the lack of a
binocular. Yes, you heard that right - a binocular!

Without this essential tool, the lookouts were unable to see the iceberg from afar, and the
Titanic was hurtling towards its third grave mistake.

Captain Smith was finally alerted to the presence of the iceberg by the lookouts. They had
spotted an iceberg the size of a football field directly in front of the ship. Unfortunately, it was
too late, and the iceberg was dangerously close.

Will the Titanic survive this deadly encounter? Or will it succumb to the icy depths of the
Atlantic Ocean?

Mistake Number Four

Due to the frequent encounter with icebergs in the Atlantic Ocean, which large ships can
handle with ease, Captain Smith knew this all too well, and when news of an iceberg in their
path reached him, he sprang into action.

"Shut down the engines! Change course!" he bellowed. The crew scrambled to follow his
orders, hoping to steer clear of the looming danger.

Captain Smith did everything in his power to avoid disaster, but fate had other plans. The
distance was too close that anything he did was futile. But it was too late. The iceberg
collided with the Titanic's center, However, there was still hope of saving the Titanic.

This hope was that perhaps the iceberg would not cause damage to the massive body of the
Titanic, or maybe the iceberg would break apart as it collided with the ship, and that would
have been the case if the fourth mistake of the Titanic had not shown its effect.

The ship's body was held together by rivets made of cast iron, which, as experts would later
discover, were not as strong as steel. The impact from the iceberg caused the rivets to pop
open, leaving the ship vulnerable to the icy waters.

However, because cast iron is softer than steel when the Titanic collided with the iceberg,
the pressure caused the rivets to loosen, and the same thing happened that Captain Smith
feared.
Mistake Number Five

The collision between the Titanic and an iceberg, which was as large as a football field, had
already occurred, and water had started filling the lower parts of the ship. This dangerous
situation alarmed the crew and passengers, including the owner of the Titanic, Joseph Bruce
Ismay.

Despite the water filling up the Titanic, there was still hope for its survival, as it was designed
to remain afloat even if three floors were filled with water. Unfortunately, the water had
breached the third floor and had even reached the fourth, causing the situation to spiral out
of control. Slowly but steadily, the Titanic was sinking into the ocean.

At this point, the focus was on saving the passengers' lives without any regard for the ship's
fate. Captain Smith urgently issued a radio alert, and the plan was to transfer the
passengers to lifeboats until help arrived.

Here is the point when mistake Number Five shows its fate. The Titanic had space for thirty
lifeboats, but due to negligence, only twenty were kept on board. With fifteen hundred
passengers on board and only twenty boats available, it was a dire situation.

Mistake Number Six

The world was in disarray, a mad scramble to board the precious few available ships. Chaos
and desperation reigned as people fought for their chance of survival. At 12:45 AM, the first
emergency boat was finally lowered into the frigid ocean.

However, during the turmoil, yet another grave error was made - the boats were sent out
without being filled to capacity. In the world of chaos that had descended upon the Titanic,
the urgency of the moment had overruled the wisdom of caution.

To make matters worse, first-class passengers were given priority over the others. Wealthy
individuals were granted access to the boats first, while the rest of the passengers were left
to fend for themselves.

But as history would later show, this decision would prove to be a fatal mistake. If the boats
had been filled to capacity, more lives could have been saved.

As the Titanic continued to sink into the icy abyss, time was running out. At two o'clock, a
sudden and catastrophic short circuit caused all of the ship's lights to go out. The darkness
was impenetrable, and moments later, the mighty Titanic broke into two parts and sank into
the ocean.

The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most tragic and heart-wrenching events in human
history. It took a mere two hours and forty minutes for this "unsinkable" ship to succumb to
the unforgiving power of the icy Atlantic waters. Over 1,500 souls perished in that frigid
abyss, their dreams and aspirations vanishing into the abyss.
Even more harrowing is the fact that the water temperature at that time was a bone-chilling
minus 2 degrees centigrade. If the passengers had attempted to brave those icy currents,
they would have had no chance of survival. The human body can only withstand such
conditions for a maximum of thirty minutes.

The tragedy was compounded by the fact that many of the passengers who perished were
traveling without tickets. The majority of survivors were women and children, a testament to
the inherent strength and resilience of the fairer.

And yet, amidst the chaos and devastation, there were heroes. Captain Smith spent every
last moment of his life trying to save the lives of those under his care. He was the last person
to abandon the ship, his selflessness and courage a beacon of hope on an otherwise dark
and unforgiving night.
