Anyone have the story behind this? Strange that a plane designed to
float, sank!

I could be wrong, but wasn't the Titanic designed to float?

As I recall it even had lots of watertight compartments designed so that you
could flood several of them and the Titanic would still float. Unsinkable,
they called it. After it sank, the Unsinkable title was transferred to
Molly Brown of Denver. :-)
