10 reasons as to why the Titanic was actually a securitisation instrument:

1) The downside was not immediately apparent.

2) It went underwater rapidly despite assurances it was unsinkable.

3) Only a few wealthy people got out in time.

4) The structure appeared iron-clad.

5) Nobody really understood the risk.

6) The disaster happened overnight London time.

7) Nobody spent any time monitoring the risk.

8) People spent a lot trying to lift it out of the water.

9) People who actually made money were not in original deal.

10) Despite the disaster, people still went on other ships.
