OVER THE YEARS, SOME SCHOOL OF THOUGHT BELIEVE THAT THE TITANIC SANK BECAUSE A CERTAIN MAN SAID THAT EVEN GOD CAN NOT SINK IT.
WHILE SOME PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT IT WAS DUE TO NON CHALANCE AND THE FACT THAT EXPERIENCE WORKED AGAINST THE CAPTAIN.
IT WAS ALSO REALLY UNFORTUNATE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DIED IN THE PROCESS. THE SHIP CARRIED 2200 PEOPLE BUT THE MANUFACTURERS DECIDED TO PUT ONLY HALF THAT NUMBER AS LIFE BOATS, WHICH LED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE DYING.

AS AN ENGINEER, I KNOW THAT IS AGAINST ENGINEERING STANDARDS. THERE IS WHAT IS CALLED FACTOR OF SAFETY, THIS IMPLIES THAT A SAFETY FACTOR SHOULD BE ADDED WHEN DESIGNING. THAT IS TO SAY IF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE A BOAT IS TO CARRY IS 5, YOU HAVE TO DESIGN FOR THE BOAT TO CARRY AT LEAST 25 PEOPLE, SO THAT FAILURE WILL RARELY OCCUR. THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DONE BY THE ENGINEER AND ALL LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED.
DO YOU THINK GOD MADE THE SHIP TO SINK SO AS TO PROVE THINGS LIKE THAT SHOULD NOT BE SAID OR YOU THINK OTHERWISE?
