1. Weather tranquility.
It's easy to imagine the Titanic struggled with the waves aggressive when sinking. But the truth is that the weather is extremely quiet when disaster occurs, not a ripple, not a breeze. It was a terrifying silence. And the weather has somewhat contributed to cause the tragedy. Why so?
When traveling in areas where sea ice, the wind is a factor to help determine whether any ice on the sea or not. When the wind blew cold air flow will bring emitted by ice, blowing air into the cooler vessel closer iceberg, Captain timely help steer to avoid a collision.
Therefore, there was no wind that Titanic had exactly 37 seconds to steer the discovery of the iceberg, which is obviously not possible due to its large size.
2. The whole ship was on fire from the moment of departure.
Just hours after departure, a fire occurred in the engine containing the ship's coal oven. A pinch of coal workers survived the tragedy recounted J.Dilley name: "At that time we can not put out the fire was, everybody talked to hide this job and tried to keep the fire from spreading to the upper floors for until reach New York will call to the fire boat! Finally, the plan is no longer needed when the ship hit the iceberg and sea water to extinguish the fire overflow ". This is a surprising event because if the ship is not sinking, passengers will experience a tragedy Equally frightening - ship fires.
3. Word prediction of the Titanic tragedy of William T. Stead.
In 1886, the legendary journalist William T. Stead wrote a piece of fiction set in a ship's letter Atlantic sank after hitting rocks and most of the passengers were killed due to lack of lifeboats . His story brought purpose and make people self-conscious attention to strengthening maritime safety regulations.
In 1892, William wrote another similar story based on the ship's White Star Line Majestic. Including passage: " Then bumping sound echoing through the ship, the passengers carefully one step at a deck. They were a breeze and the cold wet welcome. Every minute, every siren fog rang out, the sound of metal on the surface of ice maker Sharp almost drowned out the voice of the people to name the ship. And then a shout saying,
"Starboard solar panel". " 2 decades later, Stead died aboard the Titanic's fateful White Star Line after the ship hit the iceberg on the starboard and only 20 lifeboats carrying nearly one half the number of passengers on board.
4. Captain of the Titanic failed exam maritime orientation.

Witnesses said the first lifeboat while carrying 27 to 65 seats. John was not issuing the command "Take the train" for the crew and passengers when disaster occurs, causing the passengers panic and make things get worse because they do not know they are located in dangerous situations what size.
Also many unconventional act of navigation, in 2012, more information and witnesses said John had flunked tests maritime orientation. He parked just after take retests in 1888, but failed the exam once it is considered a bad omen, and a tragic rather, bad omen was fulfilled when he was holding the rudder of the Titanic.
5. The only Japanese passengers.

Everything seemed to have smooth, no doubt, at the time in Japan, such action is considered cowardly and without honor. So when Hosono return home, he was critical community and mercilessly stoned. In a notebook found his, Hosono said he could die on the ship rather than to suffer to the end of life lived in the public humiliation and relatives.

7. The assumptions and mistakes.
Everyone knows that the iceberg that sank the Titanic but until now many people still argue about why the ship crashed into an iceberg back to to that level. According to investigators from the US and Britain then ruled as the ship was going too fast, but it is still not seen as the only factor causing the disaster.
In 2010, the writer Louise Patton, granddaughter of Charles Lightoller officer on the Titanic, said the ship could have avoided the iceberg if the helmsman at the time, Robert Hitchins had not panicked and steered the wrong direction. He has to hide her mistakes in order to protect the reputation of the White Star Line.
Another theory is the effect Supermoon (super moon) occurs when the moon is closer to Earth than ever before, it creates a powerful suction, which abruptly changed the tide and led to the ice together, blocking the path of the ship.
8. The Story of Elizabeth Shutes.
In the film, even the crew smell the ice was not enough to save the ship, if in real life there are no less passengers feared the worst when they smell pervades ship ice. Including Elizabeth Shutes, one survivor wrote in his memoirs that her initial fear barely hear yourself say you have seen ships passing an iceberg and that she heard the sound and you large dam on the ship. When Elizabeth asked the attendant on board about the incident, they just answered crooked, causing her anxiety growing. In the end when the ship began to sink, her fears came true, especially when she saw the first class passengers poured out onto the deck to the lifeboat, after down the boat, Elizabeth gradually lost hope until the SS Carpathia to identify and help salvage and survivors.
9. Titanic and Costa Concordia.
Since the Titanic disaster occurs, many people have begun to compare ship Costa Concordia disaster three years ago because of the similarities to a frightening level. First, they both sink apart exactly one century (1912 and 2012). Second, when launched, both the bottle used to strike the Titanic hull and Concordia are unbreakable. Tuesday is both vessels have the same velocity on impact.
The only different thing is the reputation of the captain, Edward John Smith while being remembered as a hero, the captain of the ship Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino, is remembered by his work and the first mate had left the ship before the whole passengers were saved, with about 300 passengers on board was stranded when both onto lifeboats.
10. Because hallucinogenic effects.
When the Titanic was sinking had sent a distress signal to a nearby ship was only 30 miles SS Californian name (before the next Carphathia) but this was boat captain named Stanley Lord ignored because he said not looking see any vessel within a 30 mile all. The result is that Stanley had lost their jobs after scandals over.
But as more research on the incident, experts said this could be due to hallucinogenic effects have caused the collision and Stanley decided to ignore, because both ships are entering the temperature inversion, plus the sea air can easily create illusions, caused the Titanic's crew can not see the ice and make Lord Stanley could not see the Titanic until too late.
