Y'know sometimes I see ppl go "oh but the sequence of events for the Titanic to sink were so specific! That's so suspicious, it was definitely on purpose" and like, no. No it wasn't.
And I'm not trying to debate whether x or y person had a motive to sink the Titanic or not, what I'm saying is that seeing a highly specific sequence of events and saying that's just too specific to happen is fucking stupid. Because that highly specific sequence of events is not really that specific, the problem is that you're staring at it through a way to broad scope.
Let's put that into perspective: one of the main reasons for the Titanic to sink is attributed to the lack of binoculars that night. Said binoculars were locked in a safe, a safe to which no one had the key of. Now, how many times do you think that happened? How many ships had essential items locked away because of human failure?
Then you may ask, "well if that's a problem, why not do something about it?" And the answer is just human nature. Not all of those ships sank, so why put any pressure on the issue? Humanity has this tendency of only worrying over issues that are immediate, pressing, so unless all keyless ships sank, why bother?
How often do ships pass through icy areas? Not a lot, so why bother investing into GPS technology? How often do ships with a dent sink? Not often, so why bother force said ships to delay travels?
What happened with the Titanic wasn't a "weirdly specific sequence of events", it was the accumulation of human errors and negligence. Same goes to Chernobyl, same goes to the Cesium incident in Brazil, same goes to all the planes that crashed, etc etc. Of course, some of those events can have been purposefully caused by people, but most of them are just the result of stacking negligence on top of negligence.
And yes, I get pissed off every time someone tries to attribute this type of shit to some very evil™ person who schemes everything, enough so that I decided to write a fucking Tumblr post abou it at midnight.
