The Titanic (1996)

If only the designers, builders and owners hadn’t bought into the ultimately fatal myth of her being unsinkable.... If only the chairman of the White Star Line hadn’t decided, in a fit of corporate hubris, to try to chop a day off the trans-Atlantic crossing record .... If only the Titanic had been adequately supplied with lifeboats.

In the end, the facts are simple — and grim. The Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:39 the night of April 14, 1912. At 2:40 a.m., three hours and one minute later, the Titanic literally broke in half and slid under the surface of the Atlantic. Survivors reported a long, stunned silence followed the sinking.
