An Iceberg A Day Keeps The Cruise Ship Away

Thanks to a History Channel investigation complete with analysis by experts at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, we now have evidence that the Titanic sank faster than was previously believed. A documentary regarding the finds will air February 26.

The faster sink theory revolves around two pieces of hull found on the ocean floor some 300 miles off Newfoundland. It is not clear whether Leonardo DiCaprio would have had a career, had the theory been accepted prior to 1997. Whereas before it was believed that the Titanic had cracked in two, now it is thought she broke in several places.

The explorer Robert Ballard, who in 1985 was the first to find substantial parts of the sunken luxury liner, is not won over by the History Channel’s findings. He said: “They found a fragment, big deal. Am I surprised? No. When you go down there, there’s stuff all over the place. It hit an iceberg and it sank. Get over it.� The Bosh of course recognizes that as a compelling scientific rebuttal to the new theory.
