I mean the Titanic suffered a 100 meters long side-swipe damage, no redundancy could account for that. No one thought that the Titanic was unsinkable, it's just that no one thought that anyone would smash the ship against an iceberg at that speed, because why would they. Unfortunately the clear, moonless sky effectively camouflaged the iceberg due to the low contrast and false horizon. Even ships today would maintain a lower speed at night when needed despite having a radar and access to satellite images, but the Titanic had to cross the ocean faster than the Olympic did before.
