English Summary/英文概要： With the same methodology used by forensic scientists in crime scene investigations, researchers Jennifer Hooper McCarty and Tim Foecke applied new tools to the century-old mystery. By analysing how the ship was designed and constructed, what vulnerabilities were overlooked and how this marvel of modern engineering may have been a disaster waiting to happen, they build a compelling new scenario with shattering impact. Also illustrated with fascinating period photographs mixed with modern scientific investigation.
