On the night of April 14-15 1912 the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank icy waters of the North Atlantic in 1985 a scientific expedition located the wreck at a depth of 12,460 feet approximately 470 miles off the cost of Halifax the legendary liner claimed the lives of 1,583 passengers Prior to that fateful night it had been dubbed "Unsinkable" The legendary liner was on it's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York the largest and most luxurious ship built up to that time she was 900 feet (269 m) long and 97 (31 m) in the beam Boasting nine decks the ship was as tall as an eleven story building although there were Four funnels only the front three were used - the fourth was for decorated purposes only each funnel was large enough to drive two trains through it nicknamed "The Millionaire Special" the Titanic was the first ocean-liner to have a Swimming pool Turkish bath squash court and a fully-Equipped modern gym it had everything...except an adequate number of lifeboats the ship had 16 compartments said to be "Watertight" because the bulkheads extended well above the waterline the ship that would never sink traveled with a mere 20 life boats on board
Iceberg straight ahead
There were a total of seven warning messages wired to the Titanic still the captain did not order the ship to slow down no more then 37 seconds elapsed between the time the shiphands spotted the iceberg and the moment of impact the time was 11:40PM Several passengers failed to even feel the collision for the longest time it was believed the Titanic ripped apart in fact the iceberg damaged only 12 sq ft (1.12 m2) of the ship's total area The Titanic's demise proved to be the 7 million liters of water per second pouring in from six narrowed gaps located on the right side of the ship's bow By midnight five compartments were flooded the Titanic's fate was sealed at 2:18AM she submerged into the murky water and sank to her final resting place As she sank her stern lifted skyward sending the ship whirling the double hull no longer able to withstand the enormous pressure caused the ship to rupture between the third and fourth funnels there were only 705 survivors The sinking of the Titanic stands to this day as the biggest disaster of all time

Feeling guilty...
I know I haven't been online lately but I manage to get on sometimes but not for very long But the reason that's happening is I've been a little busy lately with research and some other stuff like practicing my running speed and agility (Since I'm always getting challenged by Sonic for a race. -_-') But I'm sorry to the people who think something happened But I'm mostly sorry to kim for what I've done lately...
Hmph
Hmph

Saying that the Titanic was the most tragic of all time still makes me wonder how; even to classify it as the most devastating accident of the 20th Century? Perhaps it had the most media coverage whereas other accidents were swept under the rug? Or were in too far in the reaches of the earth that nobody cared? No, nobody cared about 4,000+ Filipinos who died in a Ferry collision. Perhaps it was more spectacular that the grandest ocean liner of its time as well as some of the richest people of that time died in a collision with an iceberg compared to a lowly ferry that was packed with the normal people of the Pacific Islands and Philippines that collided with a cargo ship. Check out the difference in size between the articles mentioned about the Titanic vs the Dona Paz.
No offense to you, I'm just trying to understand people's outlooks on such disasters.
Titanic has more memorabilia, it has such great personality, such beauty, such history; it was an icon. Something like Chernobyl would not have such memorabilia: many buildings do not have such a personality that there would be any recreations of them (there are but not as common) especially power plants. Chernobyl wasn't even pretty to begin with, even if it was the pride of the Ukraine, but almost showed off the perfect storm (a thermal explosion would have topped off the horror of it). The radiation that fell over much of the Ukraine and Belarus as well as residual radiation throughout western Europe still affects the area. Life in the Ukraine has changed since the explosion. The Soviet Union put so much effort into the cleanup that it practically was a factor in the Union's downfall in 1991. However, Chernobyl is quickly being forgotten by the next generation of Ukrainians wanting to forget the disaster.
Titanic has had several movies, masterpieces, made about the ship and the disaster; most of the other disasters have hardly anything made about them. Sure Chernobyl had about as many documentaries on it as the Titanic but only one movie that pretty much nobody knows about and one that was a flop of a horror film which from what I heard may have had some facts but was not a true movie about the story.
Yes, I do like to preach about such things.
