What went wrong in your life to make you make threads about naval catastrophes?

Poor design of emergency systems and equipment coupled with bad luck. Every safety procedure has its roots in some major fuckup, and this was the one that set the rules for modern shipping.

lots of little things
-The gash was just too long, the ship couldn't survive that many flooded compartments.
-one of the doors used for passenger entry was opened up and never shut that night. Once it went underwater, it drastically increased the amount of water flooding into the ship, quickening the sinking time.
-Not enough lifeboats for everyone on board. To be fair, in most ship sinking situations, this wouldn't matter because it happens so fast that the boats can't possibly be filled and launched fast enough. The sinking happening at night and in freezing water also contributed to deaths. People in lifeboats are statistically more likely to get people from the water during daytime when they can see.
-They didn't properly train crew for evacuation and emergency procedures. For instance, by protocol, 3rd class passengers were all supposed to be brought to specific areas windows on those decks were meant to be opened and the lifeboats were supposed to stop on the way down to be loaded further. One steward followed protocol... waited... waited... the lifeboats weren't stopping. Crew didn't follow protocol.
-Generally poor reaction by the crew as a whole. They kept telling people that nothing was going on, that there was nothing to worry about, ship wasn't sinking, etc, which resulted in lifeboats being filled nearly empty because very few wanted to leave the presumed safety of a huge city on the water to get into a creaky, dinky looking lifeboat that would be lowered into the cold and blackness of the sea. And again, they didn't focus on evacuating passengers with any efficiency. The bulk of the third class had no idea what was really going on until almost all the boats were gone. Most of the crew did not take care of them--versus the first and second classes, who were personally told by their stewards to get lifebelts on and go up to the deck, and shown the way if necessary. By contrast, third class was left to their own devices.

Shoo shoo go away Chris
No binoculars for watchmen and slowly communication with the bridge.
Prefere to dodge the iceberg instead to hit him in face, One compatiment would have been broked but many passagers would have been injuried.
Decide to restart engine during a short moment after impact.
it was swaped with the Olympic

Fun fact: Kim Il Sung was (officially, anyway) born on the /very day/ that the Titanic sank.

It makes all sense now, clearly a such powerful figure as the great leader could not be brought forth into this world without a massive sacrifice and what would make for a better sacrificial offering than a ship filled with decadent rich of the west?
