• The flaws were uncovered by researchers who filmed and analysed previously undiscovered sections of keel.
• They insist these would have reduced the length of time the vessel could have remained afloat after hitting the iceberg on April 14 1912, condemning hundreds of passengers and crew to the icy waters before rescue craft could arrive.
• Until now, it was believed that after Titanic struck the iceberg, the weight of water flooding the ship and the weight of the water on the bow forced her stern to rise to a 45 degree angle, at which point the ship broke in half.
