Hello Booty, I must say i am inclined to wonder myself.There is no doubt in my mind that the Titanic hit an iceberg,but what of the damage. a 300 foot gash!! come on thats like the Atlantic hard to swallow.Its only reports from the time.Did anyone actualy measure it and why now she has been found is it very convieniently burried in silt.I worked for an ice company in Plymouth England for 4 years and we used to discuss this in our lunch breaks.One day we tried and experiment with a huge block of ice some 6ft long by 2ft by 2 ft. We slid the bock of ice into a secure position and pushed with a fork lift truck a static water tank weighing over a ton at it.The result a huge dent in the tank and a few rivets sheared, The block of ice remained intact apart from a 2ft lump off the corner.By the way booty whats with your previous comment?? where you off to ??
