From the great ocean liner's construction to its sinking to its discovery on the ocean floor, the key moments in Titanic's history
Scientific American Magazine
The Titanic's engineers would have envied today's cruise ships, which can turn on a dime, spin 360 degrees and even mosey sideways
Better technology and vigilant monitoring have made the oceans safer, but fatal accidents continue to occur
As the Titanic sinking and Costa Concordia's grounding demonstrate, no amount of engineering can completely compensate for human error
A century ago a great ship struck an iceberg and sank, earning a permanent place among the stories we tell—and lessons we should learn
Possible methods to move the massive Costa Concordia, twice as big as the Titanic, include multiple cranes, inflatable bags and even buoyant objects like ping-pong balls used by Donald Duck
The destruction of the Titanic, started by a huge iceberg, will be finished by tiny, iron-eating bacteria. Karen Hopkin reports
