Today, much of our knowledge of the Titanic comes from the 1998 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. While we may remeber how tragic this movie was (I know I do), it doesn't even hold a candle to the real life tragedy of the event.

The Titanic was very, very real, and there's a lot to
learn about what actually happened on the night
she sank to the bottom of the ocean.


1. There was a Japanese survivor who escaped
the ship. But when he returned to Japan, he was
shamed, and told he should have gone down with
the ship.


2. One of the most emotional moments of the
Titanic film is when the band members continue
playing to calm down the passengers. And this
ACTUALLY happened. They played for hours after
the ship hit the iceberg.


3. If the iceberg had been seen only 30 seconds
before it was, and the Captain was notified, the
accident could have been avoided


4. Milton Hershey, a.k.a. the man who's behind one
of the greatest chocolate bars of all time, had
tickets to be on the Titanic, but changed his plans.


5. The four smokestacks that have become so
famous, and associated with the ship? The fourth
one didn't even work! It was totally just for
decoration.


6. More than half of the lifeboats on the ship were
not filled to capacity.


7. Only one ocean liner in history has been sunk by
an iceberg: Titanic.


8. There had been a sort of life boat drill planned
for the day before the ship sank. It would allow
passengers to actually practice what to do in the
case of an emergency. It was cancelled.


9. The infamous iceberg that brought the Titanic to
her knees has been floating around since around
1,000 B.C.


10. The budget for the James Cameron film Titanic
was actually higher than the budget spent on
building the ship in real life.


11. The chef was one of the survivors from the
ship, and his survival is credited to the amount of
liquor he drank right before going underwater,
which kept his body temperature up.


12. The Californian, another ship in the Atlantic that
night, was not very far from the Titanic. But the
communication to them was delayed, and they
were unable to rescue the many passengers.

nice info.. but I think what made the Almighty Titanic sink was the fact that its builders boasted that nothing "not even God himself" could sink the ship. and to prove them wrong, the sophisticated ship made just half a trip and it was gone. pride indeed goes before a fall
