  1. This video purports' to show a line on the hull where the iceberg hit. There is one big problem with this: the bow has been driven into the sea bed, such that the anchors are almost at the sea bed. At the time of impact, the anchors were well above the water. The impact point must now be hidden under the sand. Any fault line or split now visible in the composite photos and digital models must be due to the vertical crushing due to the impact with the sea bed, not the impact with the iceberg. This video says icebergs can damage ships because the ice under a surface layer is very hard. This is no so - the compressive strength of ice is a tiny fraction of that of common materials such as plastics - plastics being typically 100 times stronger and metals even stronger again. The reason why bergs can damage ships is because of the shear mass of ice - the immense inertia of the iceberg means that the ice at and near the ship has nowhere to go. An analogy - the compressive strength of water is zero - that's what defines a liquid. But if you fall from a great height and hit the water at high speed, you will be serious injured by the impact - killed if your initial height is sufficient.
