Hi Collin, I thought a overlong programme thought she broke in two on the surface, due to uneven strain on the hull, which is very logical when one consider most of the rivets popped one side due to the collision. But even today with new stronger built construction, you have to be very careful loading and discharging large cargo ships to stop the possibility of breaking the vessels back, let alone a very old design vessel built on sailing ship technology, severely compromised in a massive glancing collision and is sinking. Why people get so fascinated in such a tragic incident I do not know, I just know several hundred people died a very horrible death for someone's possible incompetence.
