Titanic sank due to a fire onboard, claims new documentary
The Titanic sank in 1912 due to a fire in its boiler room, even before it left port, a new documentary 'Titanic: The New Evidence' claims. The temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius weakened the ship's hull, making it unable to withstand the collision with the iceberg. Reportedly, officers aboard were instructed to not mention the fire to the passengers.
