    I want to thank everyone for posting in TITANIC!! Keep it up. I've learned stuff I never knew JUST BECAUSE of this thread.

     

    I had no idea that Aster was possibly crushed by one of those smoke stacks (which have never been found)

    Its great that a Titanic thread has been started. We can discuss a lot in here. But may I suggest that we stick to the topic? Ghost ships is a facinating subject that deserves a thread of its own.

     

    Thanks Kor. I thought it would be nice to start one and we should try to stay on topic but maybe SeeingEyeBorg could start a thread about Ghost Ships.. I would post in it.

    :lol: I am so flattered. If I could, I would order pizzas, buy a round of drinks, and sit down to a marathon with all of you!!!

     

    LOL I love pizza!! What toppings? And I assume it would be a marathon of DS9? I hope so.

    I must concur with this morbid fascination of the sinking of a ship. However...ghost ships are far more to my liking.

     

    Remember the one that crossed the North Atlantic (I think) a couple of centuries-ish back and arrived with a solidly frozen crew?

     

    Ghost ships.. isn't there a movie about that?

     

    I don't remember hearing about a solidly frozen crew.. but I'm sure it's happened more then once.

    I can tell you do your homework on historical events of personal interest, Trip. Very good! I am impressed. :lol:

     

    Thanks. Before all my other interests first there was Titanic and yes I have done my homework.

    Despite a history degree, I never found myself that interested in the Titanic. However, what new evidence has been presented to prove that the ship was destroyed in a different manner?

     

    They found a huge chunk of Titanic's double dottom and that proves that Titanic not only swiped the ice berg but also ran over it.

     

    Also Titanic actually broke apart in a different manner then in the 97 movie. It started to crack at the top of the ship but stopped at the double bottom and then broke apart from the bottom up at a much lower angel then in the movie.

     

    IMO divers need to leave the ship alone.

     

     

     

    That is interesting. You know that Hollywood always does things unrealistically :lol: I would think that from the damage you described, that most divers would steer clear of it anyway. I hope they are getting paid good to take a risk like that.

     

     

    Divers tend to only explore the front section of the ship because the back section imploded when it hit the bottom of the ocean because it was full of air and pressure and I don't think they get paid at all.

    For all the bad things people have to say about the st.com boards, I wonder, when was the last time any of you spent any time there?

     

     

    You've got to be kidding me. Since 2003 I've spent a lot of time at st.com and I will NEVER step virtual foot in that Website. I find it sad that it's the official site.

     

     

     

    I agree with you Trip. I joined that "website" in '98. I found it to fall short of the mark when it came to intelligent and mature conversatons related to Star Trek. It is beyond sad. It is pathetic. :lol:

     

     

    Certain members at st.co seem to get enjoyment out of harassing new members and calling them duals of another member or just plain harassing them to point where they have to leave.

     

    I am very saddened that startrek.com is still up and running. It should've been shut down a LONG time ago.

    TITANIC: Ultimate Discussion

     

    Well I thought I would make a thread about my favorite ocean liner.. Titanic. Did anyone see the special on TV that confirmed that Titanic not only side swiped the ice berg but actually ran over the ice berg to? They know this because the team found a huge chunk of Titanic's double bottom. Another interesting fact is that even if the Titanic had enough life boats it really wouldn't have mattered because not all of the 20 life boats Titanic had were launched from the ship. It's well known that the Titanic couldn't have broken the way it did in the 1997 movie because the way the back of the front stection of the ship is twisted, it couldn't have broke apart like it did in the movie.

     

    So I look forward to what you all have to say abou the world's most famous ocean liner!

    I'd rather we not encourage the formation of "cliques" here.

     

    One problem with ST.Coms message boards was that such activity was not discouraged, it got to the point where only the cliques enjoyed themselves by always teaming up against those with ideas contrary to the Cliques. That in turn would cause growth of the Cliques as people who needed to be accepted joined in

    them :laugh:

     

    Worse, I never saw Admin do anything there to enforce any rules or if they did it was with the side of the Cliques. :lol:

     

     

     

    I agree with you and I apologize for my earliar statement. All I am saying is that me and MajorHayes are very good friends.

     

     

     

    I had to leave st.com becuase of continuely being harrassed there. It got to the point where I never even wanted to visit that site even if I didn't go to the boards. If the whole site isn't shut down then at least the boards should be because nothing creative goes on there.
