Even if they DID build a new titanic, some people beleive the name titanic is cursed!!!!!!!!!!

Quote:

Well i dont think that titanic is curse maybe the name but the tragedy no.

i don't find it cursed, i think it as a one off tragedy that happened.

it is frightning

it's a rather large sum of money and a huge endeavor, and i don't know if i'd ride it but that isn't to say i'm against it being built...

I think that if it was built it would get a large amout of criticism. Many ppl don't want it built because they would like not to think about another ship sinking. Not that it will sink but if it did.

i'd reckon it's a bit ill fated if another sank under the new name too...

it wouldn't be as bad if someone mentiones olympic 2.

Think of the Lusitania, the Brittannic, and all of the other huge ships. There something that big ships like about being on the ocean floor.Quote:

In logic terms, big things sink easier

But in our age just now, big ships have more advanced handling and technology

The lutsitania sank because it was carrying diamonds, platinum and other precious stones which in world war 1 annoyed the germans who torpeoded it. It had a reason to sink because it was valuable.

Brittanic went along the same lines and got torpeoded.

I don't see how a big ship is more likely to sink. By far more small ships sank than large ones. Titanic was the first large one to sink (by today’s standards at least), but smaller ones had sank due to ice-bergs before.

I am convinced that the reason people think big ones sink is due to the fact, a large one will get more press than a smaller one. I mean a small fishing boat sank off the coast of Norway not long ago, I only know of it because I read it on a linked web site. However if the QM2 where to sink, it would be all over the papers.

Logically a large ship is more likely to hit something, but not more likely to sink, if anything less likely, due to it's many compartments, which are more evident in a large one to a small one.
