Titanic's sinking in April 1912 was not just bad luck: the ship was warned, and ignored it. Lesson: when the warning signs are loud, slow down before you chase speed.
The "unsinkable" Titanic had ice warnings, lookouts without binoculars, lifeboats with empty seats and a rescue ship that never came. Here are 10 dark secrets of the RMS Titanic sinking in April 1912, from the speed nobody reduced to the SS Californian, the band, J. Bruce Ismay's escape, the 1898 novel Futility, and the wreck the deep sea is slowly consuming. Where historians disagree, or a story is only a legend, we say so.
