Secret of how the Titanic sank?

I have always been fascinated with the subject of Titanic.  I have read every thing I could get my hands on growing up, to the movies on television and on the big screen, and going to an artifact exhibit.  I have little keepsakes.  My uncle who passed away several years ago, when I was younger tried to tell me I was on the Titanic in a past life.  I don’t know how to swim and have a fear of water.  Yet amazingly enough I joined the Navy right out of high school!  But I did learn in boot camp how to use my clothing to be able to stay afloat!

But I just read an article at the U.S. News and World Report website about the secret to how the Titanic sank.  It is amazing to me how after so many years so many are still investigating it.  I have come to a conclusion that it was “cockiness, pride and greed”.  Pushing the ship too hard on its first run…..  Not having enough life boats.  Claiming not even God himself could sink this ship!

I also didn’t like the aspect of how the “lower” class were treated, just because they didn’t have the kind of money others have, that their lives were somehow less important to save.  Money shouldn’t determine whether or not a person’s life is worth saving.
