    Thanks, man.

    I'm an uber Titanic nerd and will admit to liking Cameron's Titanic because of this, despite the historical inaccuracies within the movie. For example, Murdock never shot anyone. It actually created quite a stir at his hometown. People were pissed.

    Quick fact, the 4th stack on the top of the ship didn't actually function. It was just added for aesthetics

    As a tribute to the lost, a multitude of observers will leave white roses on the sidewalk facing Leonardo Dicaprio's property.

    Maybe that Italian Captain of that over the weekend doomed cruise liner was feeling nostalgic.

    they are still mad that the selfish broad couldn't move over and share the floating debris with the poor guy and then act surprised that he froze to death

    Wow,did not know that. Titanic "facts" interest me and I had a book a while back that told of many facts and myths about the ship but I never heard of the stack thing.

    Capt. Ripley was actually portrayed as brave in the movie. The character Brigman never actually existed.

    I hate to ruin the nostalgic feel of this thread but I can only think of this:

    For those of you more familar with the facts than I am....the personality stuff from the Cameron movie had a number of inaccuracies but the way the ship sank is fairly accurate isn't it?
