Just a thought that i cant get out of my head, and maybe its the cynical nature in me, but i cannot shake the scary image of what it would have been like for Titanic to have happened in todays modern times as opposed to when it originally sank. The American press not withstanding, you also have the British style of tabloid journalism, and can you see the headlines now in the National Enquirer? "Smith still lives in the first class dining hall" or some ridiculous claim such as that. Maybe 1 thing Titanic was spared was the awful scrutiny of having crew passengers and the like spared from the truly sensationalistic style of todays headline and story writers. Dont get me wrong here, im sure the presses were harsh even then, and i dont the term 'objective journalism' was fully in practice yet at that point. But i have no doubt that in the modern age, Titanic would have recieved 5 times the hype OJ Simpson did.God, amen to being spared that cruel fate
