âWe follow the mysterious journey of a man who walks into a town that rejects him.â âHe was halfway through on his return journey when a light flicked on in the passageway.â âThe journey begins and ends in London, and has stops in 30 cities along the way.â
Along with the material failures, poor design of the watertight compartments in the Titanic's lower section was a factor in the disaster. The lower section of the Titanic was divided into sixteen major watertight compartments that could easily be sealed off if part of the hull was punctured and leaking water.
The Titanic was only built to stay afloat with four compartments flooded. It is thought that had Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it would have stayed afloat. Within 2 Â½ hours, Titanic disappeared below the waves, taking the lives of approximately 1,517 persons. Another weather theory has also recently appeared. A British historian, by the name of Maltin, theorizes that the Titanic might have hit the fatal iceberg because of a rare weather condition which created a âfake horizon,â leaving the crew unaware of the threat until it was too late.
