Hardaker orchestrated matters so that the ship's [[Force field|shields]] would be lowered as three small [[asteroid]]s approached the vessel. The resulting impact killed most of the crew and passengers (including Hardaker), but did not destroy the vessel outright. Capricorn had arranged for the Hosts' programming to be changed so they would kill any survivors. Over the next few hours, the Doctor and his friends, assisted by the ''Titanic's'' only surviving bridge crewmember, Midshipman [[Alonso Frame]], worked to stop it from crashing on Earth, which the Doctor feared would cause an explosion strong enough to wipe out all life on the planet. | Hardaker orchestrated matters so that the ship's [[Force field|shields]] would be lowered as three small [[asteroid]]s approached the vessel.

Efforts to | Efforts to stabilise the orbit failed and ''Titanic'' entered the Earth's [[atmosphere]]. After defeating Capricorn and rendering the Hosts harmless, the Doctor narrowly prevented ''Titanic'' from crashing into [[Buckingham Palace]] in London, and started the vessel's secondary [[storm drive]] by using the heat of re-entry to fire it up, returning it to space. The vessel, under the temporary command of Alonso Frame, was salvaged after he had sent a [[distress call]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'') | ||
The four known survivors of the ''Titanic'' incident were the Doctor, Alonso Frame, Bayldon Copper and [[Rickston Slade]]. It's possible other crewmembers and passengers survived. The Doctor and Mr. Copper [[teleport]]ed to Earth, where the Doctor recovered the TARDIS and left, while Mr. Copper started a new life on Earth. The others were later rescued. | The four known survivors of the ''Titanic'' incident were the Doctor, Alonso Frame, Bayldon Copper and [[Rickston Slade]].
