I hope you have enjoyed my thread on the once great ship that once was the R.M.S. Titanic.

It's copy-pasted, what are you talking about 'your thread'.
[QUOTE=Orkel;29018056]I'd rather wait a few years before doing something like that (if scuba-diving down there was even possible in the first place). Finding corpses everywhere wouldn't be particularly fun.[/QUOTE]
Their bodies would be crushed to dust as well as yours.
I don't think that anyone here is so stupid that they don't know what happened with Titanic.
Everyone has seen the movie, duh.
Avatar picked up where Titanic left off, in so far as most of the cast is Blue.

What about Jack and Rose? :downs:

Titanic ain't got shit on it, it's so great it has "Great" in the name. It even hit a rock and got a gash 60 times BIGGER than the gash the puny Titanic had and it didn't sink at all, the passengers didn't even notice.[/QUOTE]
Please make a thread about that ship. I want to know more.
Titanic was such a wonderful and luxurious ship, too bad it was built like shit.
I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They have the "Titanic Graveyard" there. A lot of bodies retrieved from the water were brought to the east coast of North America and buried. It's a beautiful graveyard.
Jack Dawson WAS an actual passenger on the ship but it was nothing like the movie.

I thought the 'J. Dawson' grave there was that of James Dawson, a stoker.
Eh, maybe it is. It's been too long since I've been there.

ROSE! ROSE! THIS WAY, ROSE!
And that concludes my summary of James Cameron's "Titanic". Any questions?
In related news: Apparently when they were working on that movie, James Cameron made the set as close to the real Titanic's construction as possible. It used blueprints that the original designer had kept secret, and apparently he was quoted to say "This isn't a movie set, this IS the Titanic!"
Thanks to this accuracy in recreating the ship, several revelations about the actual sinking were made. For instance, when they were flooding the giant banquet staircase, the staircase actually separated itself from the floor and washed away, giving a possible explanation as to why the real staircase was completely missing from the real wreck.
The above facts are courtesy of that one time I browsed the TVTropes page for the movie because I had just seen the Rifftrax'd version.
I have reason to believe that one of my great relatives was on the Titanic, due to my heavy Scotch/Irish background, but this is just a theory to me.

The stairs were wider, because, well, people are wider now than they were in 1912.
Or maybe the wood had begun to rot after 99 years of submersion and it collapsed on itself?

I remember one of Camerons sub dives to the wreak. They went inside with an ROV and one of the rooms was exactly like the set down to the gold leaf accents and the clock that was still on the fireplace.(the clock was even stuck at the approximate time of the sinking). Cameron said "I know this room! We made this room!"
This isn't a movie related question, but as I have nothing else to refer to; In the film, one of the crew members shoot some people, then he shoots himself. Did they ever find out what really happened to him, as the movie version was apparently not true.

All I know is that he was pretty much the complete opposite of the dickwad he was in the movie. I believe he was last seen trying to get as many passengers onto the lifeboats as possible. Didn't they name a reward or charity after him?
the day the titanic sunk should be Irony Day

Murdoch? It's not really known whether anyone was really shot, but it was reported that warning shots may have been fired to keep the passengers in line. As for Murdoch specifically, it's unknown exactly what happened with him.
Will Titanic replace MLP?
I read that when it stopped over in one of the towns, a guy who was working in the bottom of the ship climbed the dummy funnel, and started waving and grinning at the people down below. Everyone saw that as a bad omen, but i dont get why?

Bad omen because if one person working on it was acting like a dipshit, all of the crew were dipshits? That's just my uneducated guess.
[QUOTE=Hardpoint Nomad;29010102]As the stern sank, there was air still trapped inside. As it kept going deeper and deeper, the pressure build up until the stern basically exploded.[/QUOTE]
I remember my dad telling me ,when I was a little zergling, about the freezers where in the stern and that caused it
