Although I agree with the AB Editor that this is not exactly a 'News Story' especially when it is not accompanied with a link as is the norm, but I feel that I must complain at the way the poster has been rudely ridiculed in such a way, almost with a pack mentality.

Surely we can disagree and even contest a person's views without the need for such action?

Cassa333 I never heard that about the Titanic. I do know that more people died than needed to because of arrogance.

Can you elaborate on that?

Thanks.

Titanic was going too fast. Not enough lifeboats and they didn't fill the ones they had to full capacity and waited too long to go back to rescue people from the water who froze to death in the Atlantic Ocean.

Divebuddy,
You swine. You have given away the beginning. It is customary to give a *Spoiler Alert * when discussing plots to films.

That all comes with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight.

Procedures for safety were not followed - but that was not 'arrogance', that was ignorance.

Further to my previous answer - it is difficult to imagine in our days of Health And Safety that a boat would be allowed to sail with insufficient life-boats and jackets, and without crew trained in proper evacuation procedures, but this was 1912, and that was how it was back then.

As for going back to rescue people in the water - those people would have perished within minutes of entering the water, even if a ship had been next to the Titanic, there would have been fatalities.

But as I said - this is hindsight - and what does it have to do with your 'conspiracy'?

Arrogance that they thought the ship couldn't sink. Everything sinks if you put a hole in the bottom. Duh!!!

'An unsinkable ship' is an advertising boast, not the genuine perception of people who design, build and sail ships.

The Titanic was the result of being the top of the design tree at the time - and that is where the advertising boast came from.

No-one could foresee that a massive hole would be ripped in the hull - the side rather than the bottom.

So to reiterate - hindsight is a wonderful thing - but it should not be used to blame individuals at the time who lived without its benefits.

I think there was a degree of arrogance involved because it was // thought in the event of an emergency, Titanic's design would enable her to stay afloat long enough for her passengers and crew to be transferred safely to a rescue vessel. It was never anticipated that all passengers and crew would be evacuated rapidly at the same time.//

I think we are now sailing a sinking ship.
