Very likely NOT.

This is getting off-topic, but twaddle should be promptly despatched...

Have you considered that perhaps Titanic broke in half
when colliding with the ocean floor ?

talking of twaddle, accident pathologists look to separation of the
remnants to help determine the point at which a hull was broken
above the sea floor. You could do worse than review the hull
separation of the Titanic remnants.
