tomorrow at 11:40 pm and ending the 15th at 2:20 am is the 96th year Titanic sank. its amazing she's still there after 96 years

soon she'll be a huge orange stain on the ocean floor

lets remember all those who died on that sad night. one of them was Mr. Gugenhime(sorry for spelling mistakes, a hard name to spell) it is the worst sea tragedy ever. just be kind if you remember who died that night. Titanic will still live on as one of the greatest ships ever.

Titanic will be on the oceanfloor,for about another 50 years before she becomes a stain.
One of the biggest tragedy's in life,will not be forgotten soon.
However that list is longer than just Titanic.

What Marc said.

Titanic was very solid build. And in those days they used real iron to build ships, instead of that crap they call steel nowadays. She will be there long enough, i even think, she will out-live us, so to speak.

you and me both!

1,523... a big number.... I find it saddening.... Why did they have to skip a life boat drill for church? WHY?! That drill could have reversed the figures...

Also, Millvena (sorry for misspelling) Dean... the last living survivor... what will happen when she's gone?

the crew wasn't trained for that situation. and why did they change the date of the voyage just because of a collision involving the Olympic? and Edward J Smith was the captain of the Olympic at that time. he wasn't even helping. he should have stayed on the bridge. Murdoch had no idea what to do.

Or had Thomas Andrews in charge. He sure as heck knew his ship!

trains · « **Reply #9 on:** April 14, 2008, 00:15:04 »

yes. but why did he go down? it should have been Ismay. it was his design. Andrews only made it as instructed. its Ismays ship, he should not have chickened out and got a boat.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #10 on:** April 14, 2008, 00:19:34 »

But Andrews could approximate how and how long the ship would sink! he most likely also knew that the middle propeller couldn't go backwards! That could save lives!

trains · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2008, 00:25:25 »

yes. but he only welded her together into Ismays image. he may have known but Ismay designed her. he designed some faults without making sure. the expansion joint was one.

Both Stuart2007 and myself hate that movie. inaccurate as heck. I mean, sure, I'm fine with fictional characters, but WHAT ARE THEY DOING ON THE VERY BOW OF THE SHIP?! NO PASSENGERS WERE ALLOWED BEYOND THE BREAKWATERS! A PAIR OF NOTICE BOARDS STATED THAT VERY CLEARLY!

And I have this book!

within it lie plans to the most accurate model of the ship to date!

... But I'm not a good modelmaker... it works mainly with wood, if anyone's interested...

Thats the poster, I will take a pic later and upload it.

And I think I have seen the movie, I was about 1.5 years old.

So I have seen it, don't remember anything.

The movie screws up the disaster... and ship itself!... to no end!

oh well, at least it's not like the 90% fictional Britannic movie!
