Interesting with Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Both him and the Titanic, in their respective years, received their fatal blows on April 14th, stayed alive through midnight, and died the morning of the 15th (Lincoln literally dying or the Titanic slipping beneath the surface).

I'm sure everybody knows that, it's just a coincidence I find interesting.
