	New York TImes	IN WEAK RIVETS, A POSSIBLE KEY TO TITANIC'S DOOM For a decade, metallurgists studying the hulk of the Titanic have argued that the storied liner went down fast after hitting the iceberg because the ship's builder used substandard rivets that popped their heads and let tons of icy seawater rush in.

Historians say the riddle of the disaster has finally been solved....	14th April 2008
