100 Years Ago Today
At 11:40 p.m. (ship’s time) on April 14, 1912 the Titanic scraped its hull against an iceberg. By 2:20 a.m. on April 15, the stern disappeared from view. When it was all said and done 1,513 passengers and crew lost their lives. (There were 2,224 aboard the ship, which means a survival rate of less than 32%.)

I knew that the 100 anniversary was coming up but didn't know it was today. These newspaper clips you found are so cool to see/read. Thanks!
The Houston Chronicle is the most anachronistic. 1400 "HUMAN BEINGS"!
Yesterday the Military channel had a documentary about the German WWII version. It was released as propaganda. Crazy story. If you have a chance to see it, do so!
I hear there were like five dogs that went down too. No cats though. They knew better than to get on that shipwreck...
I have to find that documentary Pat. I am freak for anything Titanic and now you tell me there is a Nazi Titanic. Was nothing sacred to those bastards?
I hope you can find it. It's showing again today on the military channel (I think). The ending WILL blow your mind...
