An abrupt stop would have thrown people against cabins or berths, and since it was night and most passengers were asleep, they would have had absolutely no chance of bracing against the impact; they would have been flung into the things in their immediate vicinity. Moreover, in the event of a frontal collision, the impact would have extended the entire length of the ship, splitting seams and bursting rivets, in which case many more of the ship’s compartments would have been exposed to the sea, causing the ship to sink much faster. Therefore, the idea that the ship would have survived if it had crashed head-on into the iceberg is implausible.\n
