    I'm finding it hard to understand, didn't the Titanic have a double bottom??And if she only popped some rivots,then why couldn't the pumps keep ahead of
the water??     Also, what about the doulbe bottom...The Titanic could float
with the first 4 compartments flooded, but 6 compartments were "opened".
    After the fifth compartment,there was a few feet between the hull and 
the inner lining.     There must have been a gash somewhere, there has to 
have been something to enter the double bottom.     Also the reports go
to the effect that the "Big T" is buried quite a few feet in the sludge of
the bottom.   So how can anyone be sure what really happened.
      Does anyone have some thoughts on this subject?  I'd like to hear
them.
