Nobody Had Believed It Was Possible
In 1912, the Titanic (hit) an iceberg on its first trip across the Atlantic, and it (sink) four hours later. At that time, the Titanic (be) the largest ship that ever (travel) on the sea. It was carrying 2207 people, but it had taken on enough lifeboats for only 1178 people. When the passengers (try) to leave the ship, only 651 of them were able to get into lifeboats.
The Carpathia (be) 58 miles away when the Titanic (call) on its radio for help. It (arrive) two hours after the great ship (go) down, and it (save) 705 people. Some of the survivors (be) in the icy water for hours when they were saved. Most of the passengers hadn't lived long; 1502 people (lose) their lives.
Through the whole tragedy, the Californian (be) only ten miles away. Its officers were close enough to see the Titanic, but they (negative, understand) the situation. They never received the Titanic's call for help, and they didn't come to the rescue until too late.
Why (be) there such a great loss of life? Why (be) there so few survivors? Why the Californian (negative, come) to help?
First of all, nobody (prepare) for such a tragedy. Nobody (believe) that the Titanic could sink. The steamship company (think) that its ship would be completely safe in all situations. They (follow) an old rule for the number of lifeboats, so they (supply) lifeboats for only half the people. The passengers had not yet received their lifeboat numbers, nor had they practised lifeboat drill before the accident. Many of them (negative, dress) even warmly, for the ship had hit the iceberg late at night, and they (negative, believe) they (be) in danger.
The ship already (receive) six ice warnings on its radio when it struck the iceberg. Nevertheless, it (change) its direction or its speed. It (be) impossible to change direction quickly enough when the iceberg came in sight. When the Titanic (hit) the iceberg, the radio officer on the Californian just (go) to bed. He (try) to warn the officers on the Titanic about the ice before he'd gone to bed, but the officers hadn't listened.
After this accident, ocean travel changed. Now there (be) always enough lifeboats for everybody. Ships (negative, go) so far north in winter, and they watch carefully for ice. Radio officers (work) 24 hours a day. A tragedy like the sinking of the Titanic should never happen again.
