TITANIC TRAGEDY History


James Cameron's epic three hour film, Titanic, has grossed an unprecedented one Billion dollars and music stores report that their number one selling disc is the sound track of the movie. Titanic exploits the distinctions between the first and third class, and completely ignores the second class passengers. In fact 115 men in First Class and 147 men from Second class stood back to make space available for women and children from Third Class and as a result died.
Once on deck, many passengers flatly refused to climb into the small open wooden lifeboats to be launched onto the freezing ocean. Many preferred the bright lights and warmth of the Titanic and went back inside! History records him as vigorously active and involved with the radio room, the morse lamp and the distress rockets trying to rouse the ship whose lights they could see 8 to 10 miles away. At death we leave behind all that we have and we take with us all that we are.
