95 years agoOk this isn't really about the musical Titanic, but it is about the Titanic.
RMS Titanic was an Olympic class passenger liner that became infamous for her collision with an iceberg on 14 April 1912 and dramatic sinking on 15 April 1912.
The RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic at approximately 11:40pm on April 14, 1912. It was completely underwater by 2:20am April 15.
Today is the 95th anniversary of when the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and tomorrow will be when it sank.
Out of the 2,228 people on board, 1,523 people died with Titanic; some drowned and some were frozen to death.
Out of the 705 survivors, only 6 were saved from the water.
And out of the 1,523 people perished in the sinking of the Titanic, only 306 bodies were recovered.
I just thought this was an event that should be remebered. May all those who perished rest in peace.
Thanks for someone on another fourm who posted some of this information.

Thank you, Mr. Cameron.
Although I don't think "95th years ago" is anything that actually exists in English.

It really is tragic when you think about it.
Out of all the major events in world history that have killed thousands of people, the sinking of The Titanic is probably one of the most overlooked.
May those who died Rest in Peace.
