  1. Actually, a totally unfeasible theory.

  2.  @rogeredwarrddeshon5000  In that case, why not go the whole hog and claim Titanic was sunk by aliens? Actually, No 'explosion' was ever reported, although a small number of survivors reported 'rumbling' during Titanic's last moments. Doubtless heavy machinery breaking loose. No Stoker survivors, and there were 45, together with 20 Coal Trimmers and 4 Greasers, reported anything other than sudden flooding, and they were in the area where any explosion would need to have been. A large number of survivors reported the impact, actually quite a gentle one, of the iceberg. Moreover, the engineering sections were off limits to passengers. A furtive figure carrying an enormous sack trying to get down into one or other of those sections would have stood out like the proverbial sore thumb, especially since your theoretical device would have needed to have been enormous. Simply compromising one or two compartments would not have sunk Titanic, as Olympic's collision with HMS Hawke, flooding two sections, had demonstrated in September, 1911. Finally, the suicide bomber is a bizarre late 20th & early 21st century phenomenon, which you have feverishly back-projected to 1912. As Sherlock Holmes said :- “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Inevitably one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” Just as you seek to do, in fact.

  6. No. A smouldering coal fire in one of 19 bunkers had been dealt with around 24 hours before the sinking. According to the testimony of stoker survivors, the only damage was to paintwork inside the bunker. Neither the bulkheads nor the hull were affected. Unless, of course, you swallow Mr. Molony's nonsensical claims.
