Re: 100 years ago today.
On April, 10, 1912, one hundred years ago today, the White Star Liner
Titanic departed from the port of Southampton, England.
Planned Destination: New York City.
Are today's cruise ship company's tempting fate by sending two ships
to the exact spot at the same time
in the middle of the night in one of the worst stormy regions of the Atlantic?
Forget radar. Forget GPS. Forger
wireless telephones and computer
navigational aids.
All that technology is fine, but all it takes is power-outage
on one ship, combined with misjudgement on the part of the crew on the other to create a double Titanic disaster. The ultimate Murphy's Law circumstance.
