As the Titanic voyage began, my grandfather was already shouting and telling everyone it will sink. Nobody listened nor cared. He continued to tell them several times. But sadly he had to stop when the security guard brought him out of the cinema.

if the titanic was sunk by an iceberg, how come no pieces of the iceberg was found on the wreckage?

I heard from a reliable source that the captain was texting while driving.

Fun fact:<br>Unsinkable was only mentioned in her marketing roughly 4 times. Only spread by word of mouth during and after the fact did the unsinkable myth show up.

My theory is that people wouldn’t talk about “hindsight” nearly as much if we called it “assvision”.

The greatest tragedy of that movie was how it portrayed first officer Murdoch. William McMaster Murdoch is a Scottish National Hero. Before the officer on the port side of Titanic had even launched a single lifeboat, <b>Murdoch had already launched half.</b> Of all the Titanic survivors whose lives were saved that night, 75% were saved by Murdoch. While it's entirely possible that he did indeed commit suicide in the Titanic's final moments (there were multiple witnesses who say he did), he was not the murderous coward he was portrayed to be in Cameron's movie. As First Officer, he did what was required of him... to the very last!

I was tense about what you were going to say, but Titanic jokes are great icebreakers.

In an alternate universe, Murdoch is remembered for saving the people of the Titanic the most hardcore way imaginable.

Most people tend to forget hindsight and assume everyone knew everything at everytime.
