A big factor is that Capt. Smith should have changed corse, slow her down. Your right there are so many What ifs.Pepole herd big bangs as well, I think the boilers blew up as well, makeing the rip on the bottom.Its hard to say what really happend that night.So many pepole thought they were on a UNSINKABL ship, most stayed on till the last second, because they thought she would stay aflowed.Life boats were being filled with 30 or less pepole in them when they were able to hold 60 pepole.So so sad.
