April 14, 1912: The Titanic crashed into the iceberg, the most horrific accident in maritime history

Titanic was wrecked by crashing into an iceberg, causing more than 1,500 people to die. This shipwreck has gone down in history as the most serious maritime accident.

Titanic is a steam-powered ocean-going passenger ship that has entered the maritime history because of the horrific and unexpected maritime accident that happened to it as well as related mysteries. Its official name is RMS Titanic (RMS stands for Royal Mail Ship).

As the largest, most modern, magnificent and luxurious ship at the time, Titanic brought the ambition to dominate the transatlantic sea route. However, during its first and last Atlantic crossing in April 1912, Titanic was wrecked by crashing into an iceberg , causing more than 1,500 deaths. This shipwreck has gone down in history as the most serious maritime accident.

The Titanic accident happened on Sunday, April 14, 1912. At 1:45 pm, a report from the SS Amerika steamship warned that there were large icebergs south of Titanic's path but words Warnings are transferred to the USN Hydrographic Office and cannot be forwarded to the Captain's Headquarters. After that, it continued that many other warnings were issued but it did not reach Captain Edward Smith.

Titanic has three guard teams on the " observatory " and they switch sessions every two hours. However, a combination of the factors that led to the disaster: no moon, no wind and the dark side of the iceberg toward the ship , the guards could not detect the iceberg at a distance safe.

At 23:39, the sailor stood guard Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee noticed a black block in front of the bow. They then realized it was an iceberg and the ship was heading straight there, but it was too late. They quickly rang the bell three times and phoned the captain's room. First-class officer William Murdoch ordered " All drive to the right " (the command to turn the steering wheel to the right) in an attempt to turn the ship to the left and back all the way back, reversing the rotation of the leg outside duck.

Stabbing into the ribs and excessive tension caused by excessive water on one side caused the Titanic to break into two large pieces, at the middle of the third and fourth chimneys, and the bow of the ship completely submerged under water. Because the head is sunk, the tail is curled up, until it is completely upright, the tail is then broken in half. The stern began to submerge and sink into the sea with the front of the train. The people in the water screamed for help but soon, their cries faded. The survivors huddled together, cold and frightened.

The head of the train was submerged and began to sink, then the stern was lifted high and broke in half.

The Titanic's telegraph continued to call for help. Although other ships are quite close, the telegraphers on some other ships are sleeping. The Olympic train, with the White Start Line and brother to the Titanic, heard the signal calling for help but it was too far away to help.

When the ship sinks deep, its two parts end up having a very different fate. The head shape is slippery, sliding nearly 2,000 feet (600m) below the water surface and slowing down and reaching the bottom quite gently. The tail fell almost straight to the seabed, perhaps just sinking while spinning, because the air was stuck inside to become enclosed compartments. It was much damaged when it hit the bottom at high speed; everything inside so they all pop out of position. The head was broken by the iceberg, sinking more slowly and also having less air inside, so it was quite intact.
