The iceberg that sunk the Titanic was only 50-100 feet high.

And our memes volume on a daily basis is much higher than that.

The damage was less than a few square feet in total. The first compartment had a hole a bit bigger than a quarter. The sheer water flow was enough to carve you in two.

That was the failing. The safety system couldn't react in time.
