You sir are grossly misinformed. The Titanic is unsinkable. You are clearly spreading fake news. scold
Greta Thunberg was advising the captain
I'm afraid it's true, northern, the news is from an impeccable source. The old girl really has gone down. sad flower
How ironic then that the ship hit the only iceberg that hasn't melted yet, Bn.

I hope she is one of the survivors, or who will save the planet? uh oh
Harb, at your age I'm sure that you have had a few old girls going down, right? laugh Nothing news worthy here.
That was Titanic's Sister-Ship,the Olympic ,Titanic is still doing Ferry-Service between Freeport,Grand Bahama and Nassau ,New Providence!laugh
I could have made a joke out of that if I had wanted to, northern. snooty

But it isn't a joking matter. scold
And what's happened to Leonardo de Caprio? Was he saved?grin
That's good, northern, I didn't want a problem. handshake
I don't know, AI_1984, you'll to follow the official blog for the details.

News just come in: The women and children have been put in the lifeboats.
Singing as the ship goes down, mic?
I saw a documentary about the Titanic where a chap theorised that warm and cold currents meeting caused atmospheric conditions such that light became refracted.

Although the lookouts kept their eyes focussed on the horizon (the point at which they'd first see an iceberg against the stars) because of refraction they weren't looking at the true horizon.

By the time they saw the iceberg they were almost upon it. The emergency avoidance came to late, or too early. The iceberg carved a gash all along the side of the ship rupturing too many isolation chambers for it to stay afloat. Had they not attempted to avoid it and rammed the iceberg head on, the damage would have been limited to one, or two chambers and the ship wouldn't have sunk.

You probably didn't want to know that, but I think it's only fair to dispel the other theories which laid blame on the lookouts, or captain.
The passengers would have been aware of the collision a lot sooner if it had been head on, as well, jac. Pretty instantly, in fact.
Harbal, when did it happen? Where?
Am I the only one who didn't hear that tragic news?
This is what happens if I don't watch youtube video posted on cs blogs. I am far from the truth! frustrated
It hasn't hit the newspapers yet, Kal, but luckily, CS has a man on the spot. detective
If you had been smart enough, you'd have taken a rib or speed boat out, and picked up some of the rich hotties professor
I'm content with being smart enough not to have been on the ship, Molly. I had a ticket, you know, but I changed my mind at the last moment. tip hat
Har, that sounds very unlike you tip hat
I know, Molly, but I wasn't myself at the time.
Who were you?
Watch out for those ice-cubes in your drink next time, - they can sink you wine
"I ordered ice, but this is ridiculous" grin
Harbal:
I know, Molly, but I wasn't myself at the time.

molly:
Who were you?

Oh yes, that's the best one I heard all day!! thumbs up
Nobody you know, Molly. smoking
2maybe wine
It's always worth tuning in when Molly is around, chat. smile
You two should go on the road together as a comedy duo...
Wait, wait, better yet... get on the boat cruise circuit!
Are you trying to get rid of us, chat? uh oh
It would be more physical comedy then..
Me getting seasick and Har rushing around trying to find a bucket
I get seasick as well, Molly, so two buckets. barf barf
rolling on the floor laughing Harbal This is very funny you all made my day for sure, thank you wave
scold
There has to be a straight guy in a comedy duo.

And I know you would want to be the straight guy innocent
Did someone ask for a bucket

barf

I'm glad the news of this tragedy finally.....sunk in. grin
Hmm, that reminds me. I need to book a ticket for the Hindenburg.
A little known side story -
Titanic was carrying a large cargo of salad dressing ultimately destined for Mexico.
When news of the tragedy reached Mexico, that country established an annual commemoration to remember the event ...


Wait For It!!

Sinko Da Mayo

The salad dressing went down with the ship ...
Sinko ... The ... Mayo

My question is did the iceberg survive? grin

That is the most important thing with not much remaining. uh oh
Our intrepid on location reporter is using the remaining iceberg for his scotch on the rocksgrin
