They also didn't have binoculars and it was a dead-calm night, which made the iceberg much harder to spot.
The
Titanic was a ship built to the standards of her time...actually greater than the standards of her time. That she sank was probably the result of a thouand little things that all spun the wrong way for her. It happens, and it sucks. I understand that human nature is to blame the company, blame the captain, blame someone, but it wasn't a case where some gross action caused the disaster. So why all the 'these fellows were the bad guys!' stuff?

Even better, the paragraph I just posted supports the cursed mummy theory.
