It was, without question, a giant blunder that stumbled ass-backwards into a resounding success.

To their credit though, most companies would have carried on in very stubborn ways, instead of acknowledging the error and pivoting quite quickly.
It’s the last point that is really the lesson here. You can recover from almost any mistake, no matter how big and expensive, if you embrace the reality you are in currently vs. the reality in which you were previously.

As for the OP, is it a fact that the iceberg would have held all those people? They would have had to ferry people back and forth in lifeboats I guess.

I might have to rewatch that part of the movie...
