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:
[ QUOTE ] 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." [/ QUOTE ] I've been wanting to hear someone finally say that. yahoo article

Re: A hilarious final word on the sinking of the Titanic
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."

Re: A hilarious final word on the sinking of the Titanic
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.
