Default Question on the Titanic sinking
If the Titanic had only reversed her engines, not turned to port and slammed head-on with the iceberg, would she still have sunk?

Could the Titanic have survived even if her entire bow was anihillated by the collision with the iceberg?

(The Titanic sank because her starboard side was slashed by the contact with the iceberg. Too many compartments were flooded - 5 vs max. 4 - and water overflowed the bulkheads, dooming the 'unsinkable' ship.)
