It's funny how the Titanic was deemed unsinkable. Every time someone calls their shiney new think 'Un'-something, nature seems to conspire against them :)

- WalterBright 11y agoThe Titanic was dubbed unsinkable by the press, not by Harland and Wolff nor the White Star Line. Driving a liner full speed into a stationary iceberg is not really the fault of nature any more than having a tree jump out in front of your car :-) The Titanic was actually one of the safest designs afloat in her time.
- raverbashing 11y agoWell, if it had collided full speed with the iceberg it probably wouldn't have sank But yeah, the unsinkable was a good dose of press sensationalization
