An obvious possible reason for the Titanic sinking is the weather on the Atlantic during the time of the tragedy. The ocean was unusual because of the calm sea without wind or swell. Under normal conditions the waves would have broken over the base of the iceberg giving lookouts sooner warning.

This made the people of that time worried that if a ship sank that they might not live to tell the tale. The sinking influenced many future ship health and safety regulations and it also pissed of the irish.
