The Times	TINY FLAWS THAT CAUSED A TITANIC WASTE OF LIFE New evidence suggests that the rescue of 1,500 people would have succeeded but for weak rivets that allowed the hull to 'unzip', Mark Henderson reports THE most celebrated disaster in maritime history owed as much to substandard rivets as it did to the iceberg, an analysis of the sinking of the Titanic has revealed.

More than 1,500 people died.Now, a team of scientists has moved into deeper waters, uncovering evidence in the builder's own archives of a deadly mix of great ambition and low quality iron that doomed the ship, which sank 96 years ago Tuesday. Historians say the riddle of the disaster has finally been solved....	14th April 2008

International Herald Tribune	THE TITANIC'S DEMISE Twenty years ago, a team of scientists led by Robert Ballard discovered the remains of the Titanic 12,400 feet under the surface of the North Atlantic.

Now scientists have discovered large sections of the hull that suggest the ship may have split into three parts rather than two, and may have sunk much more quickly than was thought. This, Ballard said, is not a big deal. "It hit an iceberg and it sank," he said. "Get over it."...	31st December 2005
