Head-on Collision Could Have Saved the Titanic 

wdym it was 1 iceberg that travelled more than it should of

@@tobialex7602 yes, it was a single iceberg that struck the ship, but there was an entire field of icebergs in that area that night. That’s why the ship, the California was stopped.

So you may be right but nobody knows the real truth

@@composter993 the thing about there being an entire field of icebergs is the truth. The way you worded that, it’s like your trying to say that it’s something that no one, whatsoever witnessed.

@@Wolf_Dominic its far away to titanics route its true that California stopped because of this but in Titanics case there was only 1 iceberg

People: Iceberg don’t sink the ship

White Star Line's Olympic class liners (the second of which was the Titanic) were significantly slower than Cunard Line's Lusitania class liners that were completed a few years before. Titanic could only set a ship or class record, definitely not race against the Lusitanias.

@@VersusARCH They still achieved decent speeds so...

The coal was moved to the port side so it wasn't burning away.

Titanic Max Speed 24 kn, Mauretania 26 kn…

Ismay still would be searching for that passenger named Freud and Rose in search for the next big thing.

was that sound reasoning..?

Actually they were rushed by impatient rich folk on board.

This statement is indeed correct. To a point. They didn't slow down because the last ship to sink to an iceberg collision was in the the early 1870's and only 8 years or so prior to Titanic, the last iceberg collision was with a 690 ft, four funneled steamer weighing at 27,000 tons and was able to make it back to port for repairs at reduced speed.

@@LiberatedMind1 This is factually wrong.

​@@LiberatedMind1 This is supported by no actual facts.

as one of my favourite steamers

Not to forget, Oceanliner Designs already did a thorough, in-depth and science-backed video on the head-on collision, and the conclusion was Titanic would have made it.

@@victorsamsung2921 Could you tell me when was this video made and where you found it.

Also 5 of the 6 boiler rooms were lit boiler 1 were never lit

This video was copying

Obviously they needed a better planned response than the one they executed.

I think you're right solely based on the high speed she was traveling. But if she had traveled at a slower speed I think a head on collision would have been better.

​@Herr Spiegel yep

Steel bends and folds as it experiences pressure. If Titanic struck head on people would have been atomized, yes, but only about 80-100 feet of the hull would be destroyed. While that is serious damage, it only encompasses the two foremost compartments of the ship. The remaining two would flood, making a total of four damaged compartments - the threshold of Titanic’s buoyancy. Tl;dr, Titanic would survive a head-on collision.

@Herr Spiegel not really. Steel bends, it doesnt shatter. So Hitting the iceberg head-on wouldnt sink the ship. And if it did sink hitting the iceberg head-on, the sinking wouldve gone much slower because only 2 compartments wouldve flooded

@@jamesgroccia644 Yes

Lies

Nah ur annoying

Be quiet bot

Wow 1st time saw you in hear!

Bot

This just gives me brain errors

Informative? Comon some of em are false info. actually most

True

😞 ikr

They would have slowed down significantly after visual with the first large iceberg though.

@@LaurensPP Yea, probably. Even coming to a complete standstill. But it's weird and strange how this 1st Iceberg had to happen for some common sense to settle in. Concerning it was Moonless night, the water was flat like a coin with no waves breaking and you had the Cold-water mirage effect. It all worsened the condition. Fleet and Lee did nothing wrong, and it's a miracle in fact they spotted the iceberg with 500 meters to go at all.

How is bright side underrated when he is one of the top 100 RU-vid channels with the most subs, and gets millions of views in a few minutes. I think he’s overrated

Underrated? no i think he is overrated he or they doesn't even research stuff they put out false info.

well, even if he wanted, he couldnt have set the speed record, because the titanic wasnt fast enough to set it. it was just the most luxurious ship at the time, but never the fastest. instead, the mauretania and lusitania had the honor to be the fastest on earth. they had four rather than three propellers on the titanic, and were lighter

@@dorianpalinic5703The fastest at this time period. The fastest ship ever is/was the United States

@@raccoons_finest the ss united states WAS the fastest. Now its a non movable object for more than half a century 😂. However i get you pal just joking a little bit. And i was thinking about that period yes

That sounds very sensible. Too bad they had only one shot and no do-overs.

they couldnt even do that even if they wanted to they were traveling to that burge way to fast to stop the engines and blo it into reverse did nothing they had way too much momentum to even slow down turning at the last second was there only option as for the burge u actually think a big ship like the titanic moving at 22 knots would have even moved or budged a 100,000 ton ic burge floating in the ocean ???? that ice burge would have took little to no force when the titanic hit her head on ... just the video the TITANIC WOULD HAVE tookin more then 90% of that force after it hit the burg titanic would have never evnen moved that ice burge not even a inch toop big way to heave and a 60% of the total BURG OF ICE is underwater TITANIC WOULD stand no chance

Not really. Ships carried the flag of the country of their destination on threir forward mast.

and they were warned

NOTHING is accurate

You “celebrated” it??? 🧐

Wait you celebrated it? WHAT KIND OF FREAK ARE YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL

@@WafflesGud we didn't celebrate it with happiness we celebrated it by watching a video on it.

@@Dashiell777 ah got it

You "honored" you mean? Bcoz celebrations in this case is extreme..

No, Zlatan would be the captain of the iceberg.

not all holes were weak

The Titanic's sister ship sank! The Titanic never left drydock !

It's normal at the time to have fire in ship bunkers it's not a big deal and it can't weakened the metal,by the way the place of the fire is far from the damage.

Not a hole just a scratch more likely because the rivits came out but there weren't anyhole

@@mikem7052 No The Switch Theory is a Lie! They Didn't have enough time There were numbers on basically all the Interior including the Boilers and It took the Crew 7 MONTHS for the fitting out process of the Olympic to complete and they did not have enough time to switch. Don't believe Bright side they don't research about stuff properly.

And not to mention the shockwave

THAT IS BALLONY !@@CombatTen69Official

It is highly unlikely it would have sunk in a head on collision, it would have not even breached the collision bulkhead. And there would have been no shock wave. The front of the ship would have acted as a shock absorber there would have been NO shock wave. Also ice is far softer than steel and the iceberg it's self would have absorbed a pile of impact by chunking off pieces of the iceberg. There are piles of other ship that have suffered full speed head on collisions with other ships and icebergs and few to none have sunk.

@matthewq4b Full speed for those ships was not 22-23 knots. Those ships were also smaller than Titanic. The mine explosion that sank Britanic exerted less force than what would have been exerted on Titanic's hull had she crashed head on into the iceberg.

@@FinalLugiaGuardian The mine the sunk Britannic detonated on the starboard side of the ship between holds 2 and 3 the SAME location as some of the damage done to Titanic. NOT on the front. Larger ships have MORE steel and structure to absorb impacts. Energy absorption SQUARES with tonnage addition for steel structures. Larger ships can absorb far more energy and handle HIGHER velocity impacts than smaller ones. Again you lot have ZERO clue what you are talking about. And obviously have NO physics or engineering education just by the statements you lot make. I mean you even tried to infer that the Britannic mining would somehow prove that a Titanic frontal impact would result in a sinking. Like how clueless can you get...

No joke it he really was it was terms of you can blame me I can find out his exact name and contact my mother who is 79 I'll just get permission to use his proper name

They actually did. The Captain ordered a longer route further south that was meant to be safer and stay away from icebergs. The idea that they were trying to set a record was false. The titanic was advertised for luxury, not speed. So they did take precautions. Ironically it was him taking the safer route to avoid icebergs that put them in position to hit.

It’s the 14th of January. Wdym happy New Years?

Wdym happy New Years it Jan 14 🤨 Edit ya

@@a_qmz other countries don't have new years until March boo. Learn about the world outside of the neighborhood and country u live in💕💕💕💕

“happy new years” its mid january and i hope i dont see you

@@thanosisepic7146 same to u

Exactly as a general rule White Star Line wanted its ships to be luxury hotels for 1st class passengers and provide for the time decent accommodations for 3rd class passengers. It was Cunard that wanted speed demons

Alright

They have gps, sonar tracker and many more technologies to deal with any iceberg or ships.

She would’ve most likely sank faster

They turned hard starbird I think, but regardless they reversed the engines and turned hard. If they reversed the engines but continued head on, that would’ve made a small difference….. the guy in this video explaining the impact, he didn’t mention the difference it would’ve made to reverse the engines. Even if it were only a small difference, it would still be a difference and maybe a small difference would have made all the difference in the world in regards to it sinking or not. Also, a survivor from the titanic mentioned in an interview that he felt the ship come to an abrupt stop, went up to the deck where he saw some ice pieces on the ship deck but the time he took getting up deck made it to where he didn’t see the glacier. He said all was still, even the water was still. So if he felt an abrupt stop and that wasn’t felt as a big impact, I’d imagine the same for the head on collision scenario. I don’t think people would’ve been flying in the air like this video shows……but there are so many variables who knows….just the idea that a head on collision and reversing the engines could have saved more people and that the ship could have even finished its course eventually is crazy to consider…..what if……

By not hitting it. She would not have survived any version of the story where she hit it in the conditions of that night. I've been studying the old girl for nigh on 27 years. I know almost all there is to know about the ship and what I don't know, I plan to find out.
