The lack of lifeboats has been scapegoated for loss but the final one was launched only as the great ship sunk from under, being effectively floated off so more boats would not have much more of a difference. However, based on evidence revealed in 2017 there is a suspicion (on record as well) that there was a fire in the coal store prior to the departure. This was still burning and based on photographs and witness testimony not originally revealed in the post incident inquest the area of the fire was the same as the damage found leading to the water accessing the boiler room.
This could have weakened the inner and outer hull and due to the heat softened the rivets

∙ 12y agoI live in Northern Ireland and my school was lucky to have Titanic expert Susie Millar come to meet us. She told us that if they had sailed straight for the iceberg it would have taken longer to sink and a ship could have rescued everyone on board. Another idea she had was that they stopped the Titanic altogether, any of the ideas could have helped.

Superstitions are hard to codify but Titanic had a near-collision in Southampton and that could have been given importance in different ways. It could have been seen as getting any mishap out-of-the-way OR it could have been seen as a bad omen. Or if one wasn't superstitious at all, there would have been no portent of doom.
