JohnRich 4 #6 April 15, 2012 I don't understand all the Titanic-worship that goes on these days... There have been lots of shipwrecks that have killed lots of people. Why is the Titanic singled out for so much attention? What about the Dona Paz (4,000 dead), the Halifax (2,000 dead), Le Joola (1,800 dead), Sultana (1,800 dead), RMS Empress (1,000 dead), MS Estonia (800 dead), or the Lusitania (1,200 dead). I don't get it. Is the Titanic more important than all the others only because a couple of Hollywood movies have been made about it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #9 April 15, 2012 The Titanic was an icon before it even sailed. It was not only the largest but the most luxurious vessel ever built. Rich and famous wanted to ride it. Astor, Isidor Strauss, Guggenheim and others rode that vessel. It was the icon that sank on its first voyage and took with it Jobs, Trumps, and Buffetts of the day. That's why it was so legendary. The names and the hubris. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The names and the hubris. Good point. Modern marvel? Check. Dead celebrities? Check. Irony? ("It's unskinkable... ...whoops!") Check. Plus the story sounds like something from old mythology, where uppity mortals create something to challenge the gods. It never ends well...
