In technology we learned about the sinking of the titanic.  We talked about possible ways it sunk along with the Dee bridge and the challenger disaster. In 1912 the titanic sank. Maybe one of the reasons was because the material of the ship wasn’t strong enough. Or maybe it was the angle that it hit the iceberg. I don’t think that the people that built the titanic though hard enough to design every angle of the titanic and make sure that all angles could wouldn’t be damaged by an ice burg. If the iceberg hit the back of the titanic would it still have sunk? The same thing happened with the Dee bridge. It couldn’t hold the train so the train dropped into the water. Maybe the material the train was to heavy? I have lots of questions about the signing of the titanic and my goal is to try and figure them out.

  1. Hi Morgan, the failure of the Titanic and the Dee bridge were both cause, in part, by material problems. The low quality steel of the Titanic hull became brittle in the cold water of the North Atlantic Sea and cracked like an egg shell when it hit the iceberg. The Dee bridge was made with Iron, which isn’t very flexible. When the first train rattled over the bridge the iron could not take the vibration and cracked. So you are right, materials are an important consideration!
