How did a piece of ice cut through the solid steel hull of the Titanic?

In: Physics

Answer 1

You know how it hurts to hit the ground too hard? But feels fine if you land right?

Well due to how fast the titanic was going, and the weight of the ice, it hit the iceberg too hard and its hull was not designed for hard impacts like other ships can be.
