Hi everybody,
Titanic Disaster,
This is the most well-known tradegic disaster in history. No doubt, unordinary reasons there were that kept it being famous.
While celebrating the 100. th anniversary of the disaster , I couldn't pass without mentioning briefly in remembrance of her.
Seeing what happened to her, I was surfing in the net, found out some facts, most of you may know but still I would like to carry them in your mind via My EClub's blog. Altough some people say that "Disaster of Titanic is not only dramatic event in the world" as to me; it was still a newsworthy story.
10 fact about: Did you know ?
1- Cancelled lifeboat drill,
2- Only seconds ago, the iceberg was noticed,
3- The Titanic newspaper was being printed everyday on the ship,
4- Lifeboats not full because they couldn't conducted & loaded them properly,
5- Only two bathubes, the life condition of the third class passenger was awful,
6- Another boat was closer for rescuing but no useless,
7- Two dogs rescued,
8- The four tunnel, originally designed three tunnel but they made four for decoration
9- A royal mail ship, she would have carried royal's mails,
10-Corpses recovered, 1500 passengers managed to get on life board but the cold water froze them.328 bodies were found at the sea after disaster, but 119 of these were badly damaged and thus were buried at sea.1o facts about
- After a hundred years, the wreck of her was reached in 1985 on the bed of Atlantic ocean, she was lying 3962 meter.
- Here is some figures,
Passenger on board : 2208
Passenger saved: 712 rescued
Passenger were died : 1496
- Unsinkable ship losing at least 1517 lives, on 15th 1912.
The high quality luxury ship, was believed that's unsinkable, sank not only with some facts but also she went down with her mysterious. In my opinion, the most dramatic event of them in that disaster, not providing help to rescue from the closest ship at the right time !
The last word; there was not equal chance to everybody for not boarding nor sinking,

Hi Bob,
Thanks for coming to share your thought with us,
I am pleased that's information was satisfying, I am very sorry for this writing but did you noticed ? , the passengers who died in third class was the most (528) at the table (above)..
Horrible disasters, " ship sinking, earthquake, flood etc. " God bless us,
Yes Bob we have the good lawsuit today, but unfortunately after seeing that terrible events.
Take care please,
Thanks for again,
What a nice blog. Many people don't know about how bad conditions were for the 3rd class passengers. Also, the safety precautions were neglected. Can you imagine the lawsuits if this happened today?

Dear Selma!
Thank you for furnishing the facts about "Titanic" that I didn't know earlier! It's heartbreaking to know that 1,496 innocent souls were perished on that fateful day April 15th, 1912, Sunday, @ 2:2O am GMT. (The Titanic collided with a large newly upturned iceberg on April 14th, 1912, Saturday, @ 11:4O pm GMT before sinking 2 hours, 40 minutes later!)
It must have been a wrenching experience to the poor passengers who made the miraculous escape. Here's a video where a few survivors (Edith Haisman, Ruth Becker, Eva Hart, Millvina Dean, Marjorie Newell and more) telling the chaotic moment and the ordeal they went through! A real NIGHTMARE!!
P.S. Thank you for reffering your visitors to my blog to pick the tips and tricks about formatting text comments and messages - I'm forever indebted to you, Selma!
