>>51784943>the brittle fracturing on the hull was that it was built with cheaper materials than intended by the blueprintsAny of that stuff is a myth. She was built strong using the best materials of the time. A lot of people try to find something more exciting about the sinking (a fault that should have been detected, a villain to blame, a new twist like a fire) when in reality it comes down to that the forces exerted and damage inflicted were more than the design could withstand.
If there's any connection, it's once again the lesson that money will not save you from nature's strength. Death comes for all and so it's best to live well and wisely.
