Mac. let me think for a minute. T itanic was more than 3 quarters into the trip, it took about... 4 days right? thats about 3,000 miles i would think. if the titanic was at full speed on the second day and on the third day it must have been atleast half way there and by the next day evening it was a quarter left to go.so if the Californian could go the same speed as titanic or just about or more... it cold have gotten there in less than an hour. besides, its only 5 miles...it was close to the ports of boston and NY and Etc. couldnt other ships help. tug boats or what not. there should be the U.S. coast guard which was established in the begining of the 1800's or late 1700's. So it should have been possible to save more lives. but when iceberg hit i guess alot of sterage were already dead from being on the same floor or bellow the floor the iceberg cut.

wow... did i just say all that and get that smart or was God controling and writing for me?
