when a ship hits a lump of ice weighing millions of tonnes there can only be one outcome, you need to remeber that 85% of the iceberg was below the water line. Drive a metal car into a lump of ice weighing several hundred tonnes for a comparrison, the car will loose. The reason the ship sank was beacuse the water tight chambers did not reach the ceilings to allow air to escape as water entered the ship, due to the list of the ship the chambers over flowed into each other slowly which is why the ship took so long to sink. The original design had water tight chambers which extened fully to the ceilings with vent pipes running through to the main upper deck to vent the air, these pipes were removed by Ismay as they intruded into the first class compartments meaning the chambers could not extend to ceiling level. Ismay also atlered the original double skin design due to costs and also removed the original 64 lifeboats for cosmetic reasons.
A lump of ice weighing millions of tons?Really?
If it really weighed "millions of tons", how did it float? Anything that weighs that much is going to sink at free-fall speed as soon as it hits the water. With or without help from pre-planted thermite charges.
And where is there a freezer large enough to make a million ton lump of ice?

Listen OTCTA (Official Titanic Conspiracy TheoristA), consider this.
1. The Titanic sunk in 15 seconds right to the bottom of the ocean floor. That's a free fall sink! Explain that OTCTA!
2. A ship hitting an iceberg? An iceberg!?!? Do really believe a ship would actually hit an iceberg?! Name me just ONE single time that has ever happened?

OTCTA trolls!
