It is 23:39 pm on April 14, 1912. One man sees a big iceberg in front of the ship. The ship hits the iceberg. Water starts to go into the ship.

Only twenty small boats to save people are on the Titanic. Twenty small boats are not enough for all the people.

1,500 people die. It is a big catastrophe.

Difficult words: catastrophe (a very bad event), sink (go under water), iceberg (big piece of ice), enough (all what you need).
