So funny that as at that time in 1912 when Europe and America where making their mistakes and co-correcting themselves.Building ships as mighty as the Titanic,Africa was still in the very very Dark ages..Leaves me with that question,Are we Black Africans made by God or we just came out of no-where..I cant seem to comprehend at all |

let me requote u freshness2020: i didnt blame God..its y'all who did..How do u knw if it was the work of the devil or God? hw were u even sure that statement was made? Was the opinion of the journalist the opinion of everyone on that ship?if one person on nairaland was a sinner, would God kill all of us because of that person? Remember when Abraham was praying for the people living in sodom and Gommorah..And God said he would spare the town if he could find at least 10 people who were clean and sinless. If he could do that, why wont he do for the titanic ship..Its u who lack spiritual understanding and not me...stop blackmailing people spritually by depicting tragedy as the work of God..God doesnt bring evil or bad deeds to one..I am not a churchy but i think i m better in reasoning than most of u do u know there r other theories of the sinking of the titanic? besides the fact that i live in the town the ship sailed from (southampton), do u knw that most of the town peeps dont believe it was an iceberg that sank the ship?do ur research..u ll never hear this sort of thing in the media And lastly be more open minded http://www.rmstitanicremembered.com/?page_id=283 http://www.titanic-titanic.com/titanic_conspiracy_theory.shtml http://www.omgfacts.com/Interesting/There-s-a-conspiracy-theory-that-the-Tit/54649 freshness2020: 1 Like |

Re: 17 Rare Photos Of The Titanic. by uzoexcel(m): 10:01pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
do ur research properly as this is the misconception we seem to have. the quotation was made in the movie titanic. "God himself could not sink this ship!" This quotation, made famous by Cameron's film, is reputed to have been the answer given by a deck hand when asked if Titanic was really unsinkable. It seems incredible to us today that anyone could believe that 70,000 tonnes of steel could be unsinkable, but that was exactly what people in 1912 believed. The information on this page will seek to look at some of the reasons why people at the time had that belief. The shipbuilders Harland and Wolff insist that the Titanic was never advertised as an unsinkable ship. They claim that the 'unsinkable' myth was the result of people's interpretations of articles in the Irish News and the Shipbuilder magazine. They also claim that the myth grew after the disaster. Ela59: That statement was made by the Engineer, because of there precautions and safety rule they attched. http://www.historyonthenet.com/titanic/unsinkable.htm |

Found out someone actually said that .. But read below what I call an intellect respond to the titanic issue.. Doomsday preachers tend to capitalize on negatives to validate their Views and points, the haiti earthquake and this ebola is a good example.. Blamed on the wrong thing, Larry R answered 6 years ago A) RMS Titanic was owned by the White Star Line, which itself was owned by International Merchan Marine, an Anglo-American Conglomerate, which was in turn largely owned by J.P.Morgan. Bottom line...you got the name wrong. B) RMS Titanic sank at 2:20AM (local time) April 15, 1912. There was NO "worldwide Raido" in 1912. Bottom line...you got ANOTHER fact wrong. C) The correct quote is "God Himself could not sink this ship", not ,"Not even God can sink this ship" . The quote actually comes a chapter in Walter Lord's book A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. According to Lord, the line goes back, not to the President of the White Star Line, but to an article in SHIPBUILDER magazine, which was picked up and used in other publications. http://www.snopes.com/history/ titanic/un... Hint...get your facts straight if you want someone to take you seriously. D) Titanic sank because she was moving at to high a rate of speed in a known icefield. She hit the berg on her starboard side. The impact crumpled hull plates and snapped rivets, resulting in flooding in six of her sixteen major watertight compartments. She was designed so that up to five compartments could flood and she would still float. This is a good discussion of the sinking. http://www.writing.eng.vt.edu/uer/ basset... A quick quote. "The damage caused by the collision allowed water to flood six of the sixteen major watertight compartments. As water rushed into the starboard side of the ship's bow, the ship began to tilt down in front and slightly to the right. By midnight, water in the damaged compartments began to spill over into others because the compartments were watertight only horizontally and the walls extended only a few feet above waterline. By 1:20 a.m., water began flooding through anchor-chain holes. Around 2:00, as the bow continued submerging, the propellers in the stern were lifted out of the water. Flooding progressed until, at about 2:10, the bow of the ship was under water and the stern was lifted out of the water almost 45 degrees. Because of the tremendous weight of the three large propellers in the stern of the ship, the stresses in the ship's midsection increased immensely as the stern was lifted out of the water. At an angle of 45 degrees or more, the stresses in the midsection exceeded the ultimate stresses of the steel and the steel failed." Again...always helps to know what you are talking about. E) As it was, Titanic faired remarkably well in the sinking, Lusitania sank in only 15 min when she was torpedoed by a German U-Boat three years later. Here is a good source http:// www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/lin... Final points. The Sinking of the Royal Mail Steamer TITANIC had nothing to do with Divine retebution and everything to do with negligent operation of the vessel by the captian and crew. They were overconfident, and they were not familar with the ship. TITANIC was a wonderful ship, but, as witnessed by her sister ship OLYMPIC's colision with the HMS Hawke a few months earlier http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/ oly... the ship was very large, and very powerful and very new... nobody had a lot of experience in handling ships that size becuase up until very recently there had never been ships that size before. If you honestly think God deliberately sank the Titanic, you have an astonishly poor grasp of even the basic truths of Christianity 3 Likes |
