The Titanic was the biggest engineering wonder of its time. But at the same time, it also became one of the worst tragedies of all times. It sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The most ironic part of it was that it was considered to be ''unsinkable''.

But why did people believe that the Titanic won't ever sink in the first place?

That's because its hull was divided into 16 watertight compartments. The doors of these compartments should have been closed quickly in case of collusion. And once they were closed, they would cut the connection with other compartments, and the ship would stay afloat for 10 hours. However, there were too many problems with Titanic's design that even these compartments couldn't help. Wonder what these problems and miscalculations are? Let's take a look at the engineering failures the Titanic had from the beginning and how the engineers of that famous ship couldn't see the danger speaking to them.
