  What’s funny to think about is that if this did happen and it did collide head on, then most of us would have never heard of the titanic.

  a front end collision would have felt like a complete disaster without them ever realizing how bad the alternative was

  In an alternate universe there is a video explaining how Titanic would’ve sank had it turned to miss the iceberg.

  Murdock would have spent the rest of his days yelling to anyone who would listen “I’m telling you the ship would have sank!”

  just imagine how badass it would be seeing the titanic with an annihilated bow cruising into the new york harbour.

  It’s crazy to think just how bad their luck was - if they had been a few seconds slower spotting the iceberg, they’d have his head on and survived, and if they had been a few seconds quicker, they’d have missed it entirely…

  It&apos;s sad to think that this could&apos;ve been a reality. Titanic would&apos;ve lived on to become a troop transport or possibly a hospital ship like her sisters. She could&apos;ve possibly have lived a full life like Olympic did, but there are things that the sinking brought to light that we might&apos;ve never had without the loss of Titanic, like the International Ice Patrol or the provision of lifeboats for all on board (which should&apos;ve been commonplace regardless). With mankind we have to have disasters so that we can learn from our mistakes. I&apos;m not saying that Titanic sinking taking 1500 souls with her was a good thing, FAR from it, but it brought around some much needed changes in maritime history that might have never happened without her loss.

  Ships are basically like cars, with front part designed to dampen and dissipate the energy of the shocks

  This makes a lot of sense.<br>The only real downside would have been that people might have taken this kind of incident as proof that ships with water tight doors were “unsinkable”. &nbsp;<br><br>Which could have lulled people into complacency, and ultimately caused more deaths in the future.

  it&apos;s kind of eerie that the bow of the ship is basically the only thing still recognizably whole in our universe, whereas in an alternate one where <b>just</b> the bow got destroyed, the rest of the ship would have survived

  Seeing the animation of the titanic damaged like that, yet still afloat, is so eerie and &nbsp;fascinating
