The Titanic's demise Saturday 31st December 2005 11:00 AM International Herald Tribune Twenty years ago, a team of scientists led by Robert Ballard discovered the remains of the Titanic 12,400 feet under the surface of the North Atlantic. It was a big deal. When the search team returned to Woods Hole, it held a brief service to honor those who died when the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. Now scientists have discovered large sections of the hull that suggest the ship may have split into three parts rather than two, and may have sunk much more quickly than was thought. This, Ballard said, is not a big deal. "It hit an iceberg and it sank," he said. "Get over it."
Tony Robinson Titanic Trip Premieres Tuesday Saturday 31st December 2005 11:00 AM Channel 4 - Tuesday - 9:00pm - 10:30pm Radio Times: Tony and Titanic director James Cameron plunge the depths for what you could describe as a very damp Time Team. It takes a long time for them to disappear beneath the waves in their tiny submersible, but be patient. Once they're on the ocean bed viewing mesmerising footage of the rusticle-covered wreck of the Titanic, you'll be glad you stuck with this. Inevitably, the murky water makes it hard to tell the poop deck from the boiler room, but clips from Cameron's movie help. Submitted by NULL
