Why Titanic Hit The Iceberg ???

 WEEK 1 CREATIVE STUDIES

TITANIC.....

A historical name that even at present are still engraved in the hearts of society although the incident took place a century ago. Countless numbers of souls were taken from  FAMILIES, LOVERS, or even DEAR FRIENDS on April 15, 1912.
 
IN THE PAST, Titanic is being termed as unsinkable ship.BUT  WHY DID IT SANK AFTER HITTING THE ICEBERG??????  (o_O) Ain't we curious? Whatever the reasons were, researches ,documentations and investigations are done to solve the case and as a result, many researchers came up with possible logical conclusions .
 PORT SIDE OF TITANIC

First of all, when I tried to Google the net,
I have came across a web that tells about the publication of the novel "Futility" a.k.a."The Wreck of The Titan" by Morgan Robertson in 1898.This novel had raised my suspicion about the incident behind Titanic's sinking. The reasons are because this particular novel's plot is almost the same as what happened to Titanic . It tells about the largest ship hitting the iceberg in the Atlantic ocean on a cold April night.
 
How could it possibly be that there were too much  coincidence and similarities between the fictional story and the Titanic incident ? It is almost like a foretold before an actual event happens.Just that the foretelling is written in printed form .Moreover, the ship in the book named TITAN , and TITANIC were similar in design and labelled unsinkable.
 

HERE IS AN EYE-CATCHING  VISUAL AND AUDIO VIDEO THAT  TELLS US MORE   [ENJOY ;D]

AFTER ANALYSING IT LOGICALLY,

(1) I think that the Titanic hit the iceberg mainly due to the condensed fog formed across the ocean. Furthermore,the R.M.S Titanic sailed at a moonless and clear night resulting the captain of the ship or crew having a hard time to spot the iceberg that is up ahead, covered along the thick mist. A TOTAL BLIND SPOT... I would say
  
Probably, while the ship is sailing at a dark night ,most passenger are not being aware of their surroundings as they are having celebration party at the luxurious ship.In my opinion, most of them were busy exploring the ship (=_=)

(2) The ship hit the iceberg because it is hard to change the original state of motion it is currently in. It can be explained through the "LAW OF INERTIA" .The heavier the mass of an object , the harder it is to change its current state of motion.In Titanic's case,the motion goes straight ahead towards the mammoth iceberg.
 
Hence, it collided with the iceberg as it is hard to turn its course of direction in the opposite way as well as  the iceberg is also noticed almost too late to avoid the collision.
