In the ship disaster blamed a strong fire.
Catastrophe “Titanic” is most likely to be caused by the strong fire on Board, not a collision with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, therefore, produced the film is not entirely reliable.
The Independent reports that this conclusion was made by researchers conducting a new investigation into the reasons for the collapse of the liner.
Journalist Shehan Moloney, who for more than 30 years studying the causes of the disaster, said that the fire on Board occurred long before its collision with the iceberg.
According to the analysis of photographs of the Titanic, at that time, he has not left the port of Southampton, the ship was covered in soot in the place where he got hit. Moloney was able to identify 30 feet of soot along the right side of the hull of the ship.
“It was a perfect storm of factors, including fire, ice and criminal negligence”, – said the journalist.
“We considered a place in which stuck the iceberg, and I think this part of the body was his weak point. His body in this place was very vulnerable, and it happened before he left the shipyard in Belfast, ” says molony.
At the same time, the experts confirmed that the tracks were probably caused by a fire which occurred in a three-storey high store fuel, located in one of the boilers of the ship. A team of 12 people tried to extinguish the flames, but it was too large to quickly bring it under control. It can achieve temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Celsius that made the hull of the Titanic at this point, very vulnerable. And when he hit the ice, experts say, immediately broke. The researchers also noted if the fire on the body were not, the ship would have survived.
