Since we’re all talking about the Titanic today, the reason finding the Titanic was such a Huge Deal is because it proved the women who survived the disaster weren’t hallucinating.

If I had the money to waste I’d fly on a SpaceX rocket instead of this titanic crap.
Forget Branson’s spaceship where the wings rip off or Bezos exploding wang shaped rocket.
But Kate: you have to trust the experts!
A hundred years later, the experts are still shouting down the eye witnesses. If you don’t believe me, just look out your window.
My grandparents married on Valentine’s Day, 2012 in England. They had planned to go back to NY and Calgary after their honeymoon, and had shipped some wedding gifts and other luggage to the ship, Titanic.
After the spring honeymoon in Scotland and Europe, grandpa decided that he and his new wife would not sail on a ship on its maiden voyage, so Grandpa re-booked passage on the Mauritania bound for NY. They arrived safely May 29 (rosters exist) and made their way to Calgary.
Grandpa was a wise, yet rather severe man, but clearly practical. He also sold stocks before the crash of 1929. Some of their wedding gifts could not be retrieved in time, so they remain in ocean debris or with those who searched the wreck.
I am rather proud of his real estate investments in Calgary – a home and a lovely apartment building.
And you are fortunate; you would not be here had your grandparents decided to sale on the “Titanic”.
However, it’s my understanding that at least one couple out of Calgary did survive; apparently the husband was shoved onto a lifeboat which was other occupied by women and children, and so survived but to considerable opprobrium.
Fascinating. Except, hundreds of men also survived. And told the same story: the ship sank bow down, cracked in two, settled, and the aft section then also tipped forward down, arse end up, and then down. So, this feminist revisionist “history” is crap.
Banging from the area around the Titanic was heard this morning. At 30 minute intervals.
