U.S. News & World Report | (2008) | THE SECRET OF HOW THE TITANIC SANK For decades after the disaster, there was little doubt about what sank the Titanic. When the "unsinkable" ship, the largest, most luxurious ocean liner of its time, crashed into an iceberg on its maiden voyage in 1912, it took more than 1,500 of its 2,200 passengers to the bottom. As the ship slipped into the North Atlantic, so, too, did the secret of how and why it sank.... | 30th September 2008 | ||

Daily Mirror | (2006) | FAULTY RIVETS SANK TITANIC 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.... | 1st November 2006 | ||

ABC News | (2006) | TITANIC SPLIT THEORY CHALLENGED "This ship didn't split apart because it sank," said John Chatterton, a co-host of the History Channel's "Deep Sea Detectives." "It sank because it split apart. And if you're the person onboard a ship, having it split apart is even scarier than having it slowly sink."Chatterton and his co-host, Richie Kohler, set out on an expedition to research the legendary ocean liner last summer. They encountered two huge sections of the bottom - 60 feet by 90 feet - from the area where the ship had split in two. That led to a new theory about how the Titanic had sunk. ... | 26th February 2006 | ||

Roxborough Review | (2006) | TITANIC BEING EATEN AWAY Had the Titanic not sunk, it eventually would have been scrapped. Because it sank, the wreckage has been preserved all this time. However, the wreck will not be preserved forever. It is slowly deteriorating, and deterioration will not only continue, but accelerate. The deterioration, in fact, has a biologic cause. The depth to which the ship sank helped preserve the wreckage all these years because it is an oxygen-poor region of the abyssal ocean floor. There is no light at that depth. Photographs and videos of the wreckage depend on artificial lights carried aboard the deep sea submersibles that dive on the wreck. But microbes are eating the steel of which the ocean liner was built. Formations known as rusticles form on the ship's steel as the microbes eat away at the metal. Bronze fixtures of the ship are not affected by the microbes.... | 9th February 2006 | ||
