Because the water pushes the boat up and the weight pushes the boat down so that it stay afloat
Titanic's master builder, Thomas Andrews, had taken courses in naval architecture and ensured that Titanic could stay afloat with up to four compartments flooded.
becauuse it sunck and hit a ice burg :]
Titanic stayed afloat for two hours and forty minutes after the collision with the iceberg.
The Titanic can stay afloat if four of the watertight compartments were flooded. Unfortunately, five of those compartments were flooded, and the ocean water was spilling over each compartment, accelerating her sinking.
Only four
It is impossible
Four. But they filled five.
titanic sank because she hit the iceberg on her starboard side causing 5 compartments to flood. titanic could stay afloat with 4 compartments but not 5
Olympic Class Ocean liners can stay afloat with the first 3 or 6 separate compartmentsflooded but only to the top of the bulkhead.
5 compartments were flooded, which was one too many, for the Titanic was designed to stay afloat with only 4 compartments breached
the titanic was flooded because an iceberg struck the ship which filled the first 5 compartments when only 4 compartments can be filled in order for it to still stay afloat.
