Fourwinds: You really mean all you've written up there or you joking? So if you're a Christian and you die, its better than being alive? Does being a Christian automatically qualify you for Heaven or am I missing something? A tragedy happened a century ago which killed thousands of innocent souls and shook the very foundations of maritime transport but you prefer to dwell on the survivors being saints and the dead better off dead anyway? I've been mentally hardened to ignore a lot of tripe but people keep surprising me with how low they can go. And who said to you that the Women and Children first rule applied all across the three decks of the Titanic at the same time? If more women survived based on that rule, does that mean that God loved them more than he loved those who sunk with the ship? I'm a Christian but I think about things without muddling them up with my religious beliefs at every bend and corner. Why not procure a gun and go and kill your Pastors whilst hiding behind the demented logic that they are wasting away here on Earth and you'd rather send them forth to heaven to rest? The Titanic sank cuz it hit an iceberg which could have been avoided. People died cuz the rate of flooding exceeded the standard rate that was used by the Naval architects who built it while calculating its damage stability specifications and thus there wasn't even enough time to launch all the collapsibles and rafts that could have saved more lives. I could give you a lecture for a month about the Titanic as a case study but please don't you come on a public forum and claim that people who died were sinners and thus were not worthy of being saved from drowning and Hypothermia because all the lifeboats were already filled with saints. Man, you're shocking. 2 Likes |

Fourwinds: Using this picture you're painting, that means there must have been someone that was doomed and was set to be destroyed by God on the ship, and the other passengers were just the most unfortunate people in the whole world that day for being caught in the wrong place at the wrong place innit? Hmmm. I think you must be a reincarnate of one of those 3 wise men from the East cuz I can see you're an excellent fusion of rational reasoning and spiritual intellect. You rock man! More water for your camel. I've been infused with truckloads of wisdom from you today and I'm immensely grateful. Cheers! 2 Likes |

@fourwinds:take note of the bolded Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later. Following the wreck the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.[1] Similarities to the Titanic Although the novel was written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized, there are some uncanny similarities between both the fictional and real-life versions. Like the Titanic, the fictional ship sank in April in the North Atlantic, and there were not enough lifeboats for the passengers. There are also similarities between the size (800 ft (244 m) long for Titan versus 882 ft 9 in (269 m) long for the Titanic[2]), speed (25 knots for Titan, 22.5 knots for Titanic[3]) and life-saving equipment. Beyond the name, the similarities between the Titanic and the fictional Titan include:[4] Both were triple screw (propeller) Described as "unsinkable" Contrary to Urban Legend, the Titanic was never actually qualified as "unsinkable" before she sank.[5] The Titan was the largest craft afloat and the greatest of the works of men (800 feet, displacing 75,000 tons, up from 45,000 in the 1898 edition), and was deemed "practically unsinkable" (as quoted in Robertson's book). Shortage of lifeboats The Titanic carried only 16 lifeboats, plus 4 Engelhardt folding lifeboats,[6] less than half the number required for her passenger and crew capacity of 3000. The Titan carried "as few as the law allowed", 24 lifeboats, less than half needed for her 3000 capacity. Struck an iceberg Moving at 22½ knots,[7] the Titanic struck an iceberg on the starboard side on the night of April 14, 1912, in the North Atlantic, 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) away from Newfoundland. Moving at 25 knots, The Titan also struck an iceberg on the starboard side on an April night in the North Atlantic, 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) from Newfoundland (Terranova). Sinking The Titanic sank, and more than half of her 2200 passengers and crew died. The Titan also sank, and more than half of her 2500 passengers drowned.
