Their deaths haven’t been confirmed yet. And if they are, the bodies are still warm!

What I don’t get it why are people obsessed with the Titanic, plenty of shipwrecks but why is the Titantic the big one? Is it because it’s so far down or is it because of the ship itself?

Or because the people inside are rich

Yeah I guess it’s a rich persons folly to visit it, tons of titanic enthusiasts who can’t pay can’t visit it though, don’t get it but whatever.

One thing I do think about it maybe the obsession stems from that the wreck location was only discovered in the 1980s, prior to that it was mostly a mystery.

It’s just a ship that sank 112 years ago and didn’t have enough lifeboats, yeah people died but at this point no one on this earth had a direct connection to them.

Not that many lessons were learnt by it either, considering 737max happened.

Wait what does 737max have to do with the Titanic

Inadequate planning and design for customers safety in both cases
