International Herald Tribune	THE TITANIC'S DEMISE 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."...	31st December 2005
