Conclusion
Because of its large impact, the Titanic will never be forgotten. It changed sea safety and ship building, forever correcting centuries of error and saving lives. As first international disaster, Titanic will be immortalized in the hearts of its victims.
"As documented, the Titanic took more than two hours to sink from the time of the initial iceberg impact.That being said, in 2012, this would be more than enough time for a trained crew to prepare and execute a successful abandonment, one done in an organized manner with the benefit of improved equipment and safety protocols."-Kurt J Heinz Chief, U.S. Coast Guard Lifesaving and Fire Safety Division
