According to the builders of the Titanic‚ even in the worst possible accident at sea‚ the ship should have stayed afloat for two to three days yet it sank in less than three hours. Current theories indicate that the ship sank quickly due to material failures (brittle fracture) and design flaws (non-watertight compartments within the hull). Table of Contents 1.
