    I'm sure they are going to know what's going on with that ship at all times.

      There were dozens of zeppelins that went up in flames prior to the Hindenberg. The only difference was that the Hindenberg was caught on film.

        I'd love to ride the ship. Hell with global warming going on I'm sure those icebergs have melted by now.

              Actually those are HIGHLY unregulated. There's only one cruise line that actually abides by any kind of regulation from the US.

                  It's making me smile that this has made such big news now, the 'Titanic Community' (not movie fans, ship fans) have been talking about this for months. It's a curiosity but likely the inside (outside the Grand Staircase) will differ greatly from the original. 1912 First Class was still small, cramped and uncomfortable compared to today.

                      That ship actually had life boats and could have easily gotten the people into those boats. The problem is that it can be dangerous to get off said lifeboat and into another boat. They also could have flown people from the ship to land. They could have air dropped food to the ship. Its all about money though to do all of those.

                          What are you talking about? Ax Men, Pawn Starts, American Pickers, Swamp People, other random reality show? Those all have to do with history!

                          Seriously, History International is much better now. The only problem I have there is way too much Ancient Aliens.

                            Sorry to bump this and it doesn't really have much to do with the OT but I saw this on MSNNow earlier today and thought i'd share. Apparently scientists have discovered what brought down The Hindenberg:
