It was 46,000 tons and 882 feet in length. The ship was thought to be unsinkable, yet it was struck by an iceberg and sank about 375 miles from Halifax, Nova Scotia. The story is well known about the disaster. It took 1,500 passengers and crewmembers’ lives, which is about two-thirds of the total 2.200 people on board…

Love comes with confusing emotion, characteristics, and feelings. What we…

Birling’s second prediction is that ‘there isn’t a chance of war’ but within three or four years World War 1 commenced so again he thinks he knows but he does not. Birling then makes a third prediction, that the great new ship, The Titanic, is ‘unsinkable’ and in a matter of days it sank, which for the third time proves that he thinks he knows the world but the fact that he is wrong in all three cases validates that he doesn’t know anything about the world at all.

Many people might already know, but the radio that was put in the Titanic was not the best of the technology that was available at that time.

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said.
