Why Titanic's Passengers Smelled Metal That Night

So, back in 1912, when the Titanic hit that infamous iceberg, things got chaotic real quick. The ship scraped against the ice, and that friction caused some serious damage. Now, here's the kicker: when metal rubs against metal like that, it creates this distinct metallic smell. So, all those passengers probably caught a whiff of it as the ship's hull got torn up. It's like when you accidentally scratch your car against a pole – that smell tells you something ain't right. Sadly, for the Titanic, it was a whole lot worse than a scratch. #brightside Credit: Berlandiera lyrata: Melburnian, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
