Today is Titanic Day, aka the Day the Big Boat Went Blub-Blub  On this day some number of years ago a big boat called Titanic struck an iceberg off the coast of North America, and sank, which is ironic because the captain, who also sank, was only two days away from retirement. Did you or anyone you know perish or survive this, the second-greatest berg-related calamity ever to befall mankind? Share your thoughts and/or prayers in the thread! Can you believe a dude read about the ship and said "i reckon this ship is practically unsinkable", and then the first chance it gets the ship immediately sinks anyway??? Truly there is no limit to the hubris of mortal men. Here is a picture of the ship as she might have looked like (before the disaster)  RIP may she sleep with the fishes

Spinz posted:What was the ultimate berg related accident? You post Titanic was second. The greatest berg-related calamity ever to befall mankind was the 1994 movie "Rapa-Nui"

Did you know? The search for the Titanic was actually a side-mission and neat cover story for what Ballard was actually paid to do by the navy: finding out what happened to two of their sunken nuclear attack submarines.
