Hardaker orchestrated matters so that the ship's shields would be lowered as three small asteroids approached the vessel. The resulting impact killed many 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 begin killing 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 stabilize the ship's orbit, or at least stop it from crash-landing 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 shields would be lowered as three small asteroids approached the vessel.

Efforts to stabilize the orbit failed and ''Titanic'' began entering the Earth's atmosphere. After defeating Capricorn and rendering the Hosts no longer a threat, the Doctor was able to narrowly prevent ''Titanic'' from crashing into [[Buckingham Palace]] in London, and was able to start the vessel's secondary storm drive (apparently a back-up engine) by using the heat of re-entry to fire it up, returning it to | Efforts to stabilize the orbit failed and ''Titanic'' began entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Afterwards, the vessel, under the temporary command of Alonso Frame, was salvaged after he sent a distress call. ([[DW]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'') | ||
The four known survivors of the ''Titanic'' incident were the Doctor (though he was never recorded as a passenger), Alonso Frame, Bayldon Copper, and businessman [[Rickston Slade]]. It's possible other crewmembers and passengers survived, if they were not killed by the Host. The Doctor and Mr. Copper teleported 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 (though he was never recorded as a passenger), Alonso Frame, Bayldon Copper, and businessman [[Rickston Slade]].
