Titanic may not have hit iceberg, claims expert as new 3D images examined

An expert on the Titanic claims that new 3D images may prove that the vessel did not hit an iceberg. The boat famously sank in the Atlantic Ocean more than a century ago - and now new digital scans have been released that may reveal more information about the infamous crash.

Parks Stephenson, who has extensively studied the ship, says there is evidence to suggest that the vessel did not hit an iceberg along its side, as the multiple Oscar-winning 1997 film suggests, with the first full-size 3D scan of the ship's wreckage being created, reports the Mirror.

More than 70,000 images from every angle of the debris have been revealed, meaning the ship, which is still lying 12,500ft beneath the Atlantic Ocean's surface and 400 miles south of Canada.
