[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at all of these comments from people horrified that someone would want to see the wreck of a ship where a thousand people died. Has no one been to the World Trade Center or visited the ruins of Pompeii or the Gettysburg battlefields?  All different circumstances of course but its a pretty human thing to come to do this sort of thing and consider your own mortality.

Side note: I have a 7 year old who has a mild Titanic obsession (he will not be hearing about this recent news) and we have read far too many books and seen too many documentaries about the Titanic.  [b]Interest in the Titanic is a thing![/b][/quote]

It seems to be a common childhood phase, both of mine went through it.  Unfortunately the movie Titanic is too old for young kids who are really into the Titanic.  Strange mismatch.  [/quote]

As an engineer, I think the Titanic is one of a series of tragic events that need to be told. The Lag Megantic is another one. The Shuttle Columbia and Challenger are some more examples. Regardless of the safety protocols you design into a system, they are only as good as the people operating them.[/quote]
