well I think it is bad and good.

Bad of course that many had died, they thinking they are coming over to America to start new and this accident happens so many lost thier husbands, children, or wives. Many lost thier familes... people in America expecting to see them at port and never see that person walk off the Carpathia after hearing the accident. And of course a perfectly good looking ship now lays on the Ocean bed. It is very sad so bad in this point of view... and well you already know the saddness from this situation...

but yet...

Good though because it totally changed on how people take safety now. They take it VERY seriously because knowing that a supposid "unsinkable" ship just sank it made everyone start doing safety and this ripples into even our now day times and probably will contuine. I am sure there is a few ships out there that isn't properly equiped I think a couple over in Africa or Egypt area I think I read that sank and didn't have the proper safety aboard so many died and plus they did not fix thier ships. Course I am talking about ferries but still it doesn't matter.. people died. But least the Titanic experience made people re-think about thier ships and peoples safety.

They should have ALREADY learned that from a couple of other "accidents" before the Titanic but someone was there to assist... I guess it just didn't sink in... so nature had to do it the "extream way" man thought they had so much power of nature. No one can truely tame the Ocean... the Ocean at any time can claim its victums. Some ships have over came ever obsticle where as others went to the bottom for whatever reason.

It seems alot safer now days though like I said. From the Titanic experience it made man to start putting lifeboats and such in. This will not always save everyone if something were to go wrong. Such as if the ship decides to capsize there is NO way you are going to get a lifeboat launched off in time. You luck is one dunks into the water and still in managing to float and doesn't have much water to weigh it down also defintally improved on communication. So help is usally on the way quickly...
