Over 80yrs ago, the Titanic sank to the bottom of the coast off of Newfoundland. While there's been much theorizing about how the "indestructible" ship met with fate on it's maiden voyage, new evidence now points to inferior metals used in the bow and stern of the ship. These metals, recently investigated in labs, showed high concentrations of slag, a smelting bi-product.

US News has the article here

Aha! So HE's the culprit!

You mean it may not have been an accident, like people have been saying for as long as I can remember.

I remember hearing about something like that a while back: the smelting processes of the time were very inefficient, and the hull material had amounts of sulfur and other compounds that would make the metal far more brittle than today's modern hulls. The result was that when the ship collided with the iceberg, the metal buckled and fractured along a considerable portion of the ships' length.

i'm pretty sure i heard this on discovery channel a LONG time ago.
