I would say both tragedies are similar only by analysing the reactions of people in the months after the tragedies.

Everyone was looking for someone to blame shortly after both tragedies. In 1912 outrage and shock sparked the American and Brittish inquiries into the TITANIC tragedy.

With regards to 911 people were initially angry and did not know who to blame, and it is debatable if we are on the right track with regards to asigning blame for 911. But whatever your stance on the way it has been handled by leaders and people in general, one thing is clear: In 1912 people had done their homework before they asigned blame or came to a conclusion.

What are your thoughts?

Ever watched Ghosts of the Abyss? It was about Titanic and mentioned 9/11. I know lots of similarities between the Twin Towers and Titanic. Do you think there should or would be movie about 9/11? I call all the victims of 9/11 Ghosts of the Pinnacle, if you can see what I mean.

Aren't we arguing something that has almost nothing to do with the main topic??? We were discussing the "symbolic" simmilarities between both tragedies... and we are now discussing why the hijackers took the planes and why or why not was God involved in all this.

i think that they told the hijackers that they were doing this for god, because god needed to show the americans something or to punish them. thats the only way i can explain that. they believe in allah so theres a little difference.

Seems to be if God is brought into it everything goes wrong. The hi-jackers where under the impression that they where doin Gods work I don't see how killing people at work has anything to do with that.

Titanic and it's sisters prior to the sinking where said to be unsinkable and that God himself could't sink them.

There are many other examples of this but the simple matter is both tradigies could of been averted

Sad.

And the lost of the tsunamis victims, now more than 160,000 souls killed.

To suggest that the Twin Towers and Titanic disaster, or any other disaster for that matter was an act of God may be going too far in some instances.

I don't think Titanic and the Twin Towers were very much alike other than that they were sad disasters.

One reason being that Titanic was an accident, the Twin Towers were the result of evil.

Saying God himself could not sink this ship was a dangerous statement and it speaks volumes as to what happened. If people put themselves above God and above all creation, God will be sure to put them in their place.

Biased tv coverage by US owned media outlets has a lot got to do with what tragedies are remembered and what tragedies are not.

nicely said usagi

I agree with both of you guys, there are even worse tragedies around the world (and even worse: everyday, and many of them perpetrated by Americans themselves) and nobody seems to care.
But the point of this topic is to point out how the ego and feeling undestructible made both the Titanic and the Twin Towers to collapse, those are hints to make all of us know we are not "the kings of the world" after all... well, that's my opinion
