That's okay. The more you dig into the background, you begin to realize that everyone responsible was trying to do the right thing...with, as it turns out, mistaken assumptions, ignorance of key facts, and a rescue plan that turned out not to be very effective. Some have pointed out that the Titanic might have survived the impact if it had driven directly into the berg. The bow would have been crushed, but the anti-flooding compartments would not have been breached. Damaged, but recoverable. It makes one wonder.
