Faulty Rivets Sank Titanic
Daily Mirror
FAULTY rivets were to blame for the Titanic disaster, a 9/11 scientist says. Metal pins that should have held the hull together snapped after the liner hit an iceberg. They allowed it to open up like a zip when it sank off Newfoundland in 1912, leaving 1,523 dead. US forensic expert Tim Foecke, who probed the World Trade Centre terror attack, said the rivets were made from sub-standard wrought iron which snapped under pressure.
