I remember reading the words of one male survivor (I don't remember who) saying "I firmly believe that the Titanic broke in two and that is why she sank."
Would the Titanic still have sunk if she didn't break in two, or is the very fact she broke in two the main reason why the ship couldn't stay afloat? She stayed afloat for two hours, but once she broke in half she was gone within 10 minutes.
