I really do think the Titanic sunk as a result of an iceberg and that it was just an accident based on human miscalculation. I never heard before that terrorists sunk the Titanic. It happened in 1912, and frankly, I don't know why terrorists would have cared about the Titanic at that time.

The Titanic sunk in kinder gentler times. No acts of terrorism such as the kind that we all have to live with today. It struck an iceberg and those improvements that were put in place that made the Titanic unsinkable simply didn't work and thus the unsinkable ship sun. The sad part and the real point of the movie (IMGO) is the class system that existed at the time. Even with the ship sinking, there did not have to be the incredible loss of life that there was. It simply wasn't important to have enough lifeboats for everyone regardless of class.

I don't believe that the sinking of the Titanic was any kind of terrorist plot. However, yes, there were act of terrorism far before the years of the Titanic. There were genocides, regicides, the destroying of religions. What about the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 to blow up the Parliament buildings?

The Titanic sinking was not an act of terrorism. It struck an iceburg and sank. The only way it could have been an act of terrorism is if the terrorists had found some way to control an iceburg. It was said that "God, Hinself could not sink the ship." The sinking of it was God's way of saying "Yes, I can."

I believe it was the iceberg too, not due to an act of terrorism. But that's something to think about there. During the time Titanic was made, for a ship to travel far within short days would be an achievement and Titanic was pressured into meeting that criteria and hit the iceberg, thus sank. This is what I think; good topic though.

Hey is it..i am not sure of it. But as per it was the icebergs which caused it. Surely i would search there to find out, i wish it shouldnt be the terrorism attack!

I'm with those who say it was an iceberg. I don't believe the terrorist theory. I only saw the movie once, and I liked it.
