[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, how will we ever know what caused the Titanic to sink if we don’t study the site of the wreckage?[/quote] Are you kidding? What caused it to sink is not obscure. It hit an iceberg and filled with water. This is not, um, rocket science.[/quote] So, you think there is nothing to be learned from a tragedy like that? No design flaws? Or engineering mistakes? To prevent it from happening again?[/quote] How many ships have sunk in a similar manner to the Titanic in the past 111 years?[/quote] After Titanic, an international body formed in order to write safety standards for big vessels. Their first rules were aimed at the causes of the Titanic disaster (both sinking and failure to rescue). This was in 1914 and they didn't visit the wreck to do it. Safety testing and modeling has only gotten better since then. The problem here wasn't a lack of information on how to proceed safely. [/quote]
