The Titanic: A Lesson in Arrogance

🚢 The Titanic was called "unsinkable." Its builders and owners believed that nothing could destroy it. That belief was pure arrogance – too much pride in their own creation. 🚢 Greed also played a terrible role. The ship carried only 20 lifeboats, enough for about half the people on board. Why? Because more lifeboats would take up space and make the decks look less beautiful. The owners wanted luxury, not safety. 🚢 On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic received several warnings about icebergs ahead. But the captain continued at full speed. He trusted the ship’s strength and didn’t want to arrive late. 🚢 At 11:40 PM, the Titanic hit an iceberg. In less than three hours, over 1,500 people died. The real disaster wasn't the iceberg. It was human arrogance and greed.
