Using computer simulations, from the time the lookout on the RMS Titanic first saw the iceberg to the moment of impact was 37 seconds
It has been determined that 15 seconds could have saved the Titanic
Sighting the iceberg 15 seconds earlier would have allowed the Titanic to avoid the iceberg
Sighting the iceberg 15 seconds later would have caused the Titanic to hit the iceberg head on damaging the bow compartments but would have stayed afloat.
