What if Olympic would be there still today like Queen Mary is. That would be so cool. How could they destroy the ship. Every time I think of Olympic I feel like someone has died.

I hope none of her former crew saw the photos from Jarrow...

I remember a documentary featuring a few members of the crew who'd served on the British Aircraft Carrier "Ark Royal" which was decommisioned in the late 1970's. The film makers took one guy to the yard where the ship was half-scrapped. He just burst into tears and kept repeating over and over again "why have they done this to her?" It was bloody heartbreaking to watch...
