Ten Mistakes that Sank the Titanic

Another find while researching the sinking of the Titanic. In "Night To Remember" it is mentioned that the ship Californian sent a wireless message to Titanic to warn them of icebergs. The film never mentions why this message was not relayed to the captain. Apparently the Californian wireless operator was inexperienced and did not prefix the message with "MSG", which means "meant for captain". This is the type of detail mentioned in the brief documentary.

Everything from humans following regulations and not common sense, to open portholes, to construction flaws are talked about. If you are interested in the Titanic I recommend it highly. It is not your usual dissertation on the failure of water tight compartments that are not actually water tight that you probably already know about.
