Everybody knows the titanic sank because the diesel motor had a rod bearing failure and threw a rod right through the hull. The root cause is debatable, either inadequate lubrication from the so obviously too thick 10w60, or a stacking of manufacturers' clearances on the motor parts that caused a critical too-narrow of bearing clearance.
