__** miguel cardona **__** Saturday, 3:02 PM ** many of the passangers that where on the Titanic were not supposed to travel in this ship. what happened was that there where few supplies of coal so the passangers of many ships where putted into one single boat(the titanic), and also all the coal supplies of the other ships where sended to the titanic.

- The lookouts in the crow's nest did not have binoculars. Having binoculars might have prevented the Titanic. - The time interval from first sighting of the iceberg to impact was a little over 30 seconds.
