Nobody could believe it, but it happened! The Titatanic which was the largest ship ever built, sank a few hours after hitting an iceberg.
The tragedy happened in 1912, on its first trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The Titanic was travelling from Southampton to New York with 2201 people on board. Only 711 of them could be saved buy the Carpathia, a ship which was sailing some miles away, while 1490 people lost their lives in the accident.
Too many people died because there were not enough lifeboats for all of them and the crew was not prepared for such a catastrophe; they thought that the ship was safe in any difficult condition and could not sink. Also many passengers were sleeping and were not dressed warmly enough to survive in the very cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
New safety measures were taken after this accident and now ships carry enough lifeboats livevests and survival kits for all the people on board and the crew is well trained for emergency situations.
