 The rapid sinking of the Titanic was due to a combination of structural weaknesses, design limitations, and construction methods. Materials used in the ship's construction were not suited for extreme cold, leading to fractures upon impact. Safety features, such as watertight compartments, were not fully effective, allowing water to spread more easily. Additionally, construction techniques may have introduced vulnerabilities that weakened the overall structure. These factors, along with the severe conditions of the North Atlantic, contributed to the ship's inability to survive the iceberg collision, resulting in one of history’s most infamous maritime disasters.
