explain why the titanic sunk.
user
the titanic sank on april 15, 1912 due to a collision with an iceberg in the north atlantic ocean. the combination of a series of unfortunate events and the titanic’s inadequate safety measures resulted in the sinking of the ship. more specifically, the iceberg ripped a massive gash across the starboard side of the hull and, due to the lack of lifeboats, over 1500 people perished.
