Bad Choices

The sinking of the Titanic is a famous disaster. Versions of the story have appeared in songs and movies—some accurate, some highly fictionalized.

What choices do you think led to so few people’s surviving the sinking of the Titanic?

•  The R.M.S. Titanic is the largest ship during her time period. The next largest is her sister ship, the Olympic. The Titanic set out on her first voyage, leaving Southampton, in Europe, and heading for New York, in the land of hope, the United States. However, on her way, she bumped into icebergs, and damaged her body frame, and eventually causing her to sink. The people who constructed the Titanic and who have heard about the Titanic were all too confident in her. This is the reason for why they ignored the 3 icebergs, and also the messages that were sent to the controlling board of the R.M.S. Titanic pertaining to the icebergs.
• The bad decisions that were made duing this course of disaster include the people from the control panel not reporting the messages about the icebergs, and also, even when they did report it, the people controlling the ship did not take the message and the icebergs seriously. Finally, a lot of the people from the Titanic died in this tragedy because one, they were all panicking, and the life boats were not filled, and two, because the passengers were too confident about the ship and did not expect it to sink, so there were safety checks, etc.
