Let's just hope it doesn't take the EXACT same route.

Makes me want to venture out and do a Hindenburg re-creation.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a straight to DVD film a couple of years ago that was "Titanic 2". The plot was they built a second titanic based on the first because obviously that one went so well, and, well...:

Spoiler

It sank.

Go figure...

The Hindenberg fire and destruction was more fluke than anything else. The Titanic wreck was more of a "oh this ship can never sink" silliness from the captain and whatnot.

This is pretty interesting though and I have a morbid fascination to the point that if the price was right i'd go on it.

No, a highly flammable gas igniting isn't a fluke, it's an inevitability.


The Hindenberg wasn't some random, unforeseeable disaster.

I think it's okay to say both were disasters.

I'd get a 3rd class ticket for this. I wonder if it will operate weekly like a normal cruise ship. I assume since they have to pay for the thing.

But then when it's going down they'll lock you behind the gate and leave you to die!

Waste of money

Does it at least have enough life boats this time?

Re: Titanic II 're-creation' ship to be built, set sail on same route as Titanic

No thanks. I already know how that story plays out.

Re: Titanic II 're-creation' ship to be built, set sail on same route as Titanic

That's pretty cool. I've always wanted to take a ride on Titanic. The prices, even for third class cabins, will be incredibly expensive, but they will still make a boat load of money.

Pun fully intended.

The article does state there will be enough life boats. The thing still has to abide by today's regulations.

Good point, but I believe Zeppelin fight had been around for a good decade or more prior to The Hindenberg without a flame out of such proportions. At least with a modern recreation they could use helium would would make the whole flammability issue moot.
