12.1.2. The Titanic Tragedy and Safety Technology

But when these icebergs are falling it we do not know it what it happens the in underground of this big icebergs, giant icebergs. For examples because of the heating system of the oceans there could be underwater melting. So at the surface could be iceberg is standing it but below because of the heating systems of the undercurrent the heating systems of oceans there could be a melting which is going down below of a iceberg.

As this melting it you see that at certain points it will come it. Its center of buoyancy will change it and the point of MG what we have discussing is that, that becomes a negative and it can immediately collapsed it.

This chunk discusses the hidden dynamics of icebergs, particularly how their melting occurs below the surface due to oceanic heating. Icebergs have a center of buoyancy that could shift as parts of them melt underwater. If this point becomes negative, it causes the iceberg to lose stability, risking collapse.

Imagine a large, balanced seesaw. If someone starts removing weight from one side, it eventually tips over. Similarly, as an iceberg melts below the surface, it loses mass where it counts and may quickly become unstable.

So that is the reasons if you know it if you can see the great movie of Titanic, which is stuck in because of stuck with the iceberg in 1912 because of not under estimating, not knowing having the knowledge of the iceberg. That is what the point is because we look it from the top that iceberg of one by eight but seven by eight percent of iceberg is within the waters.

The chunk highlights the famous Titanic disaster, attributing it to a lack of understanding of iceberg visibility. Only a small fraction (1/8) of an iceberg is visible above water, while the majority (7/8) remains hidden, making it difficult to gauge potential dangers.

Consider the tip of a large mountain. When standing at the base, you might not realize how much larger it is beneath the clouds. The unseen portion can be much more significant than what is visible, similar to the hidden part of an iceberg.

So 1912 you can know it there was not much technology to do at present what we have like the space technology, the GPS technology, the radar technology, we can do details sounding what type of the iceberg is there. What is the extent of the icebergs. We have a satellite motion to monitor the iceberg but that is what was not there.

This section contrasts the technological limitations of 1912 with today's capabilities. At that time, there were no sophisticated navigation tools such as GPS or radar, which now allow for detailed monitoring of icebergs and other hazards in the ocean. This lack of technology contributed to the sinking of Titanic.

Think of driving a car without a GPS versus having one. Without navigation assistance, you're more likely to make errors or miss hazards. Similarly, back in 1912, sailors navigated blindly, increasing the risk of accidents.

So what my point is to say that so, as a engineer who may built a big interior design, expensive ship but also you should look it the safety of the ship. Or other way round, you should always should have a knowledge of the fluid mechanics, which gives us a lot of the safeties like when you are constructing a big towers, big high rise, high rise buildings, the safety is more important as compared to have a big interior or very expensive interior designs, okay.

This part emphasizes the importance of prioritizing safety over aesthetics and luxury in engineering, particularly in shipbuilding and construction. Engineers must always consider safety mechanisms, grounded in understanding fluid mechanics, to prevent disasters.

Imagine a beautiful glass bridge that looks stunning but has structural flaws. If it collapses, the aesthetics mean nothing. Safety in engineering should always come first, just like a sturdy bridge that might not be as visually appealing but is safe and reliable.

So what is very there is sudden collapse of a big iceberg is happens it which because of the presence of the underwater melting of the system. Natural you can see it and that is what realize the navigation systems in the oceans. It has now brought its new technology, new way to do this safer navigation as compared to the 1912 but that what is a lesson learnt for a engineers that instead of looking the making a bigger ship the best the beautiful interior, but the safety is the first.

This section reflects on advancements in navigation technology that help in avoiding disasters, demonstrating improvements from past practices. Innovations in navigation now ensure safer travels at sea, compared to the rudimentary technologies of the early 20th century.

Consider how airline safety has improved over the years. With advanced radar and tracking systems, pilots are now better equipped to avoid storms and hazards compared to earlier times. Similarly, modern marine navigation is designed to prevent accidents.
