Nope - it couldn't have been. There are a few reasons why, but the main one is that Titantic's rudder was hard over when she struck. Because a ship that size doesn't pivot about the rudder, but further forward (roughly around the bridge in the Titanic's case) her stern would have kept moving to starboard - into the "berg". The entire side of the ship would have been ripped open and she'd have capsized and sunk within minutes. A far more likely scenario is that she ran into pack ice.

The trailer has a few decent shots, but I'm guessing we'll have to wait for a full trailer to see the ship, if even then.Reliant121 wrote:Edited.

I can't believe James Cameron lied to me...
Although to be fair to many people ice berg and pack ice are the same thing.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yeah, most just sort of lump icebergs and pack ice together.

Re: Kevin Smith sort of reviews STXI
Hmm, could the sinking of the Titanic be taken as an act of war by the ice?
