Story

Before the titanic set sail there were lots of people boarding the ship. There were rich and there were poor, just before they left people were waving and saying goodbye. Once it was time the titanic set sail. For the first couple of days everything was going great until on april 14th at night… the titanic had encountered an iceberg, as soon as the crew saw the iceberg they started to panic, they were trying so hard to turn the ship but… they didn't manage to and the side of the boat had hit against the iceberg and created a gaping hole in the ship. Now the whole crew were panicking to get everyone safe by giving them life jackets and telling them to wear it and also telling them to put on warm clothes. The ship was sinking but no one else new, minutes later it had gone high enuff to where everyone started to panic it was chaos, everyone were pushing and shoving to get to the top of the ship. Everybody were trying to get on the lifeboats but they only let women and children on first, after all the boats were used up there were still tones of people on the ship, but it was to late. The ship had snapped in half and started sink back first, the nose of the ship was the highest part left, everyone rushed up there but lots did not make it up and when the ship was almost fully sunken everyone started jumping off and as soon a you hit the water your hole body would turn into ice. After a while the water looked like a pool of bodys.

Over 1,400 people died

either from hyperthermia or by drowning

The truth?

Journalist Senan Molony studied rarely seen photographs of the doomed luxury liner before it left Belfast shipyard and, along with several experts, identified 30-foot-long black marks along the hull most likely caused by the massive on-board coal fire.

So what really happened is that before the titanic set sail there was a massive below-decks blaze that had weakened the hull so much that the iceberg had no problem cutting a gaping hole through it.
