Per Wikipedia:
The iceberg suspected of having sunk the RMS Titanic. This iceberg was photographed by the chief steward of the liner Prinze Adelbert on the morning of April 15, 1912, just a few miles south of where the “Titanic” went down. The steward hadn't yet heard about the Titanic. What caught his attention was the smear of red paint along the base of the berg, indication that it had collided with a ship sometime in the previous twelve hours. This photo and informaiton was taken from "UNSINKABLE" The Full Story of RMS Titanic written by Daniel Allen Butler, Stackpole Books 1998. Other accounts indicated that there were several icebergs in the vicinity where the TITANIC collided.

A terrible tragic night. Cant even begin to know how it must have felt to wait your turn just hoping there would be room on one of the spare boats. As the noises grow louder and the lights slowly dimmed, there had to have been complete panic. Its really a wonder as many people survived considering how cold the waters must have been that night.
I wonder how the water currents were that night. Was it choppy or calm?
2:21 am in NYC right now. In 1912 at this time Titanic had already broken in 1/2 and the aft section would be sinking now.

Completely shocked in an article I read recently in that many young adults do not realize that the Titanic sinking was a real life event....merely a fictional movie. I guess there will be a point when some don't think the Civil War occurred....

What Civil Wars that then ?Originally Posted by Adam West
Not shocking for a generation of dumbasses that don't read or study history...the "ya gonna get nuked generation" is in for it......as you know ignore history and you'll repeat it. never seen a generation so plugged in and so clueless at the same time......
Yeah, my younger sister isn't that young tho and asked me if they found the diamond yet. I asked:what diamond!?!?!?! She said: the diamond the old lady had and threw overboard. My sister thought there really was a blue diamond down there in the wreck like in the Cameron film, shheeesshhhh!
I still have some hope. My generation-and I assume you're part of it-grew up playing video games and many said we would grow up morons because of our addiction to that. Yet as I talk to people I know from the `80's, who went to High School with me, I find many of them watch: History Channel, History International, Nat Geo, DISC, TLC, etc. In H.S. these people would be hard pressed to read a non-fiction or history book but as adults they make a bit of an effort to seek out things that are more relevant than Jersey Shore.
