The second Titanic accident same spot in the Atlantic Ocean

THE ‘SECOND’ TITANIC ACCIDENT SAME SPOT IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

So a British billionaire Hamish Harding with money 💰 enough to build over 1000 Findeco House buildings or 1000 Manda Hill shopping malls decided with 4 others to get inside a small metal tube and tour the Titanic wreak in the dark deep depth of the Atlantic ocean.

The metal tube was designed small with enough space to sit 5 people maximum sitting close- can’t stand or lie down). The titanic lies some 4 kilometres or so (Matero to town ) deep down the Atlantic ocean and been there since about 100 years ago when it sunk.

Apparently there is joy in risking that deep under water just to go view the wreckage as a hobby and for fun. Can’t never.

Unfortunately their tube little vessel succumbed to massive ocean water pressure deep down estimated at x 200 the pressure on a pumped car tyre. It burst after some 2 hours of decent trip and minutes before they could arrive at the bottom of the ocean where the Titanic lies.

It’s taken 4 days to discover what happened to them after rescue attempts from 4 countries namely USA, UK, Canadian and French effort of planes, ship and others sophisticated deep ocean searching vessels .

The death of this billionaire Hamish Harding (who has toured space before ) and 4 others has left me thinking of the Bible verse …

1 Timothy 6:7
“ After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.
Here is a possible essay about the Titanic accident and cause in 400 words with paragraphs:

The Titanic was a British ocean liner that sank in the North Atlantic on 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg. More than 1,500 died, making it the deadliest sinking of a single ship up to that time⁵. The accident was caused by a combination of factors, such as high speeds, a fatal wrong turn, cut costs, weather conditions, a dismissed key iceberg warning and lack of binoculars and lifeboats¹.

The Titanic was designed to be the largest and most luxurious ship ever built. It was also supposed to be unsinkable, thanks to its 16 watertight compartments that could seal off any damage. However, the ship's builders cut costs by using cheaper materials and rivets that were prone to brittle fracture⁶. They also did not equip the ship with enough lifeboats for all the passengers and crew, assuming that the ship would never sink or that other ships would come to its rescue.

The Titanic left Southampton on 10 April 1912 for its maiden voyage to New York. It carried more than 2,200 people, including some of the richest and most famous people in the world. The ship was sailing at a high speed of about 22 knots (41 km/h), despite receiving several warnings about icebergs in its path. The captain, Edward J. Smith, was under pressure to beat the record of the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship³. He also ignored a crucial message from another ship that reported a large ice field right ahead of the Titanic¹.

On the night of 14 April, at 11:40 p.m., the Titanic struck an iceberg that scraped along its starboard side. The impact damaged at least five of the ship's compartments, causing water to flood in. The ship began to tilt and sink slowly. The crew tried to send distress signals and launch lifeboats, but there was not enough time or space for everyone. Many lifeboats left half-empty, while others were prevented from launching by the ship's design and the panic among the passengers. Some people jumped into the freezing water, hoping to be rescued by nearby ships.

The Titanic sank at 2:20 a.m. on 15 April, two hours and 40 minutes after hitting the iceberg. Only about 700 people survived, mostly women and children who were given priority in the lifeboats. The rest perished in the cold and dark ocean. The nearest ship, the Carpathia, arrived at 4:10 a.m. and picked up the survivors. The Titanic's sinking shocked and saddened the world. It also led to changes in maritime safety regulations, such as requiring enough lifeboats for all passengers, having regular radio communication and forming an international ice patrol.

The Titanic's accident and cause were not simple or straightforward. They were the result of a series of unfortunate events and decisions that converged into a tragic outcome. The Titanic's story remains one of the most fascinating and tragic in history..
