exactly 106 years today and tommorrow · 5:42pm Apr 14th, 2018
On this day in 1912, at 11:40 p.m. exactly 2 hours and 40 minutes from her sinking, White star liner Royal Mail Steamer Titanic struck an iceberg, titanic was designed to withstand a high impact collision like the collision with her Majesty’s ship or steamer hawk and white star liner and sister ship to titanic the rms Olympic, anyway titanic was built with 16 water tight compartments with 15 watertight bulkheads, she was to stay afloat in the event of a collision that would damage 4 compartments but the iceberg opened the forward six compartments. it wasn't a large hole that caused the Titanic's sinking, rather a series of splits in the steel hull that let in enough water to cause the disaster to happen, titanic was doomed.
as she went down the weight of the water in the forward compartments caused enough strain in the steel hull was to much and she split in two, and the most damning event that many claim that didn't happen at the time of the disaster, many survivors claimed that she sank intact but that's simply not correct, in twenty twelve the hundredth anniversary of the sinking of titanic the YouTube sensation created a spectacular film called the last signals, tom Lynsky. he later along with his friends created the game called titanic honor and glory, which inevitably created titanic sinking in real time two hours and forty minutes. and that was 106 years today.
