How many of us haven't watched James Cameron's Titanic? Perhaps only lazy. It is thanks to him that the entire population of the planet knows that the Titanic sank due to a collision with a huge iceberg. This tragic story leaves no one indifferent: neither sentimental women, nor brutal men. And many are reviewing the film several times, over and over again experiencing every moment of the crash.
However, for all the tragedy of the moment and the beautiful love story, not everyone pays attention to where the Titanic sank. It happened in the north of the Atlantic. You can see the place of death of the "unsinkable" liner in the figure. Most of the remains of the ship to this day rest on the ocean floor.
Who is to blame for this terrible incident? Who can be blamed for the death of one and a half thousand people? It is difficult to find the answer to this question. The monstrous combination of circumstances led to the fact that the year of launching and the year of the death of the Titanic coincide. He was destined to swim through the vast expanses of just 4 days and another 3 hours to fight for the right to exist.
Perhaps if the former key keeper had not mistakenly taken the key from the bin with binoculars from the ship, everything would have turned out more safely. Or if the team was not so sure of the unsinkability of the liner, the damage from a collision would be much less. Or maybe, if the radio operators were more careful, they would have heard a warning about icebergs, and the collision would have been completely avoided. How many sorts of “ifs” that now will not save the lost passengers of the Titanic and his crew.
It is amazing how this event turned the life of the whole society. But there were also more widespread tragedies, but it is this one that leaves an indelible mark on everyone’s soul and makes you think about the eternal and the transient.
The place where the Titanic sank is still the goal of the pilgrimage of many tourists, as well as a godsend for looters. The fact is that the sunken ship to this day stores many artifacts of that time. Of course, most of them have already been raised from the deep ocean. Some are stored in museums in the United States, some are sold at auctions, and some are the prey of souvenir hunters.
More than 100 years have passed since the death of the most famous liner. In 2012, in honor of the centennial of its collapse, another memorial plaque was erected. Many specialized travel companies were able to earn good money by organizing excursions to the place where the Titanic sank. Anyone could find themselves above the remains of a giant ship on the same day and at the same time that the liner died, only a century later.
What happened to the people who survived that ill-fated day? It is clear that their life was closely watched by journalists around the world. But only they know what was happening in their soul. Indeed, many of them lost their loved ones in the waters of the Atlantic - husbands, children, brothers, sisters. Perhaps a few centuries later, this terrible tragedy will fade from the memory of people, but it will forever remain in the hearts of the descendants of the participants in the event, and the place where the Titanic sank will keep these memories forever.
