Both tragic event is very sad. Titanic and 9/11 had something in common that is the lost of more than thousands souls.

Rose U are a Goddam Fool!

Rose,

I am from Ireland and I find your comments hurtful. Maybe there were US administrative failure but you shouldn't tell the citizens of America that they got what they deserved. Why do you think Americans are naive and petty as you wrote.

Quote:

on 9/11 i wasnt in america. i was in europe and i heard a lot of talking and i was in a lot of forums and i know. i dont mean anything but this, but you are a petty naive country. just please dont take me wrong, because i dont want to insult anybody.

I presume the WILHELM GUSTLOFF was a German World War Two battleship. There are three reasons why that ship never receives the media coverage it deserves. The ship was probably sunk by a Britsh or American desstroyer/submarine. The British/American press will therefore not choose to remind their own people of the horrors it inflicted on other nations.

The Titanic epitomised the ultimate tragedy because it was on its maiden voyage, a victim of mother nature, the biggest ship in the world at the time and carried some of the most famous people in the world. The WILHELM GUSTLOFF, although suffering a severe loss of life, was a victim of a war created by man. The third reason could be that there were no movies made about the WILHELM GUSTLOFF.

What about the WILHELM GUSTLOFF which was sunk on 30 january 1945 with the loss of 9,343 souls. every body remembers the titanic but what about this ship

Rose 89,

Can you clarify what you meant by 'you got what you deserved'?

I agree with Orion. Both tragedies had a very similar impact on the world.

That is discusting to say that.Quote:

i know what im talking about scammel. it did surprise the countries all over the world but it didnt change the history. i will tell you that many people think that you got what you deserved.

Rose89 where the hell have u been? To make such a comment like that is ludichris. I am very dissapointed in a remark like that. 9/11 not changing history is the stupist remark I have ever heard.
I agree with the similaritys of the 2 events.
