Confirmation of Division in Two
The sinking of the Titanic was a tragic event that is remembered all over the world. Despite the fact that 15 witnesses stated that the ship split in two before sinking, the US investigation found that it went down whole. This controversy raged for 73 years until the debris was discovered on the ocean floor. The ship’s bow and stern were found nearly 2,000 feet apart, with the stern upside down. The melancholy wreckage of the Titanic are now a heartbreaking reminder of the horrific incident that cost countless lives. Since then, the buried ship has attracted deep-sea experts as well as history buffs.
The Brilliant Intellect
While many thought the Titanic was impenetrable, passenger Charles Melville Hays had a foreboding sense of coming calamity. He was a specialist in transportation technology and the president of two major transportation companies that amalgamated to establish the Canadian National Railway. Hays predicted the dangers of always building larger and faster ships to compete for luxury and speed, and he warned against it. Unfortunately, his predictions came true, and Hays, along with many others, perished when the Titanic sank. It’s a sobering reminder of the limitations of human innovation and the risks of unbridled competition.
