break hw #3 article

In the article "What Really Happened to the Titanic?" by Jennifer Marino seem to show the more scientific side of the tragic tale of the titanic that wrecked on April 14th 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Over the years many have said that the cause of the cruse ship the R.M.S Titanic to sink on April 14th 1912 (one hundred years ago from yesterday )was due to a crash in with an iceberg. but Matlin read weathers records and testimony from survivors plus facts from the ships log research supports his theory that the titanic sailed into a freezing Labrador Current and the air columns cooled causing layers of cold air to pile up below layers of hot air which is also known as thermal inversion. This caused light to bend and the horizon appeared to be where is wasn't (a false horizon). causing the iceberg to be hidden so those aboard the ship didn't see the ice berg until it was directly in front of the ship and the two were about to collide.

This theory doesn't disregard the fact that the iceberg was there but it just gives more explanation as to why the incident occurred.  The scientific explanation explains why and how the R.M.S Titanic sun st 2:20 am on April 14th 1912.

The article by Jennifer Marino clarifies and explains why the tragic death of thousands of people occurred on that day and why the captain, crew members and guest on the crews ship didn't see the ice burg causing many deaths.
