Was it the Design or Nature?
By KaShaela Hall
Imagine, you are on the Titanic. At first, your sleeping, sailing calmly and slowly. But then, out of nowhere, your bunk starts to flood. You don’t realize all the things that could go wrong until something happens You try to escape, but you can’t. You freak out. You end up being saved. but what about the other 2,200 people? Was it you that made it sink? Did nature make it sink? Was it the design that made the Titanic sink?
It’s a nice, warm spring night in April. The Titanic( floating safely, might I add), making its way to New York. Many things could have gone wrong, but there was one thing that actually got in their way, and that was a massive, oversized iceberg. The Titanic is successfully floating along. Everyone is tucked away in bed, peacefully sleeping, but you go upstairs because you can’t sleep and you want to get some milk from the kitchen. You’re heading for the stairs, and all of the sudden, you hear a big boom and alarms. You think you set off an alarm, but the Titanic just hit an iceberg oversized, white, and cold. You could get to safety, because you were on the top level, getting milk, but the others were not. About 706 people, just like you survived. …show more content…
For example, using iron instead of steel for rivets, not to mention using Number 3 iron instead of Number 4 iron because it was a lot cheaper and a lot easier to get. Another flaw in the design was how they didn’t make the base thick enough towhere the water couldn’t get in, because that is one of many flaws in the construction errors. Another one is that we decided to put on 16 wooden lifeboats, instead of the recommended 48 lifeboats. Equipment and desgin had a lot to do with the quality of the ship. I believe that the design and construction flaws were a big problem, but weren’t really the reason why this gargantuan ship sunk to the bottom of our beloved Atlantic Ocean, in the North Atlantic, might I
