Who+to+Blame

====No one could imagine how an unsinkable ship can be torn apart in the deep blue sea and easily hit by iceberg. It was horrible accident that killed more than 50% of the passengers. It took almost three hours to sink the huge ship which was 92ft wide x 883ft long and had a height of 64ft. The height was 64ft. For the sake of speed and early arrival, the crew of titanic ignored the warning about icebergs. ==== media type="youtube" key="0ofctE1C7AU" height="360" width="640" align="center"


 * 1) ====Many feel the blame of the accident should be directed to the captain of Titanic namely E. J Smith who ignored the warning about iceberg at the time. Even the warning sent through telegraph was not paid into attention by the Captain. He was absolutely sure that the ship wouldn’t sink and strong enough to be struck by the iceberg. When a warning was sent to him for asking to reduce the speed, he didn’t heed the warning. ====
 * 2) ====Others feel the designer of the ship should be blamed. They feel he was and not really mindful when designing Titanic. He apparently used iron rivets for the construction of ship which was indeed too fragile for iceberg. ====
 * 3) ====But there are others who feel instead of the captain or ship builder being blamed, it should be Bruce Ismay who was the first person who urged the captain to ignore all the warning about icebergs and keep the high speed of Titanic. ====
 * 4) ====How about the architect, Sir Thomas Andrews. Did he not design an unsafe construction with 16 watertight sections toward improper height of wall. This luxurious ship was easy to crack down. ====
 * 5) ====Also Stanley Lord was a captain of the Californian which shipped nearby Titanic but didn’t take further response when titanic in serious danger. He thought there was a celebration on the top of Titanic and wasn’t any accident on it. ====

====The follow up to the Titanic disaster resulted in major changes to maritime law that impacts us all even today. What the Titanic did then and continues to do today, is to remind us that the practically unsinkable is indeed sinkable and that the unthinkable could and can happen. The lesson? Learn from history – it is likely to repeat itself! ====
