A hilarious final word on the sinking of the Titanic
 

A new section of the Titanic was just found and is being made the subject of a new documentary. Here's the perspective on the hullaballoo from the guy who originally discovered the Titanic:

Explorer Robert Ballard found the bulk of the wreck in 1985, at a depth of 13,000 feet and about 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland. Ballard was not impressed with the expedition's find.


"They found a fragment, big deal," he said. "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."

I've been wanting to hear someone finally say that.

One of my required hisory courses was a paper writting seminar wiht a topic of the titanic. I read 6 books about the [censored] and had to write a paper on the [censored] ass movie that came out with ol leo in it.

After all that I came to the conclusion. Finally I don't feel alone.

By the way, this is the most annoying part of my college career,hands down.

Ballard thought it was a big deal when HE found a piece.

Somebody else finds a piece? "Big deal, the stuff is everywhere."

He found the ship, not a piece. Big difference.

But his cattiness is defintely a funny part of it. Still, somehow I feel it needed to be said. The Titanic hype around the time of the movie and since got to be a little much. It's not THAT great a movie. Or quite that endlessly fascinating a subject, for me anyway. I have my limits on the damn thing.

"Am I surprised? No. When you go down there, there's stuff all over the place."

I like this part of the quote more.
