    If the captain had a massive flamethrower to melt the iceberg.

    If there had been a gigantic robot to lift the iceberg with its massive hands.

    If the ship had been fitted with massive legs it could have just stepped over the iceberg.

    Any hope of this thread hitting some sort of iceberg and sinking without trace with the loss of all lives?

    A rich American is building a replica of the Titanic, it's not a sequel to the movie.

    One, They might have accelerated towards the berg and aimed to hit it 'dead centre' thus splitting it in half. The Titanic could have then carried on as if nothing had happened, and all the crew and passengers would be fine.

    Two, after hitting the berg the Captain should have put her into reverse gear and accelerated away (in reverse) thus slowing the water getting into the massive gash at the bow, this would then buy the ship a few hours until the Carpathia arrived to save everyone.

    Three, if the Titanic had been fitted with maritime airbags on the bow (front) this would have lessened the impact, and saved everyone.

    None of those options are even remotely linked to reality. Though I've only crossed the Atlantic a number of times, having been at sea as a deck officer nigh on eight years, so what would i know

    You're taking offence at that but you're completely ok with the guy who wanted to build a bridge from a sinking ship to an iceberg?

    Its a rediculous idea, that's whats wrong!

    If you built a bridge from the Titanic to the iceberg, whats to stop the bridge slipping off?

    Icebergs are slippy you know, and anyway, the passengers would be very cold just sitting there on the berg :rolleyes:

    Can someone explain to me why 'Jack' didn't just climb on top of the fat girl "Rose' and float away happily ever after ?

    Surely there was enough room for the two of them on that piano case.

    A bunch of trained penguins (who mysteriously migrated from the south pole) should've strapped ropes to the iceberg and towed it out of the way.


    Or else they could've got Bruce Willis to lead a team of miners to plant a bomb and blow it in half so that the Titanic could travel between it, unscathed.

    In 50 years time this thread will be discovered by someone who just bought a second hand time machine on ebay. Being a kindly soul, they’ll decide to go back in time to that fateful night and avert the disaster.

    However:

    If there was no disaster, then this thread won’t exist.
    If there is no thread, then no one in the future will read it and travel back in time to avert the disaster.
    Which means the disaster will happen.
    So this thread will be created.
    Which means someone in the future will use their new Apple iTimeTravel to go back and avert the disaster.
    Which means this thread won’t exist.
    Which means the disaster will happen.
    Which means…

    Taking offence? I stated something was impossible. That doesn't mean I took offence

    As for the bridge, I didn't see that. I only really read the last page of the thread

    So the answer was to build a bridge and shift 2500 people onto the jaggy ice mountain of death floating in the sea.

    Ffs op, ffs.
