...the sinking of the Titanic

[Front-Ranger]

In preparation for this anniversary, two Colorado students who were "recreating" the prow scene from Titanic, fell overboard and were rescued in the waters. The female student suffered a broken rib.

Coloradans...always on the cutting edge.

The 'Unsinkable' Molly Brown was from Colorado herself.

I actually visited her house in Denver a few years ago...when Titanic (the movie) was in the theater.

Unexpected things happen when you mix the ocean and Coloradans! Methinks we should just stick to our mountains.

Where did this happen Lee? Out in the middle of the ocean? 

Was she dangling over the edge of the ship and then she fell? I haven't heard about this on the news. Apparently we are even more "news deprived" in Indiana than I thought! 

What is the prow scene? Is this the scene when she tried to jump, chickened out and then accidently slipped?

It happened in the Gulf of Mexico. Apparently they were reenacting the "I'm the king of the world" scene although from the description it was more like the scene in the car!!

Oh, so she fell off the FRONT of the boat then! She's lucky she only suffered a broken rib. She could have been run over!

I watch one of the Titanic movies on every anniversary.   

I belonged to the Titanic Historical Society for years.     

I have an autographed copy of The Illustrated History by Don Lynch and Ken Marschall.

I have a first edition of Walter Lords book "A Night to remember".

I went to Boston and got to touch the "Big Piece" of the Titanics Hull they raised.

I attended a memorial to Milton Clyde Long at the Springfield, Massachusetts cemetary when the THS commemorated a new plaque for the family monument.

Richard L Beckwith (First class passenger & Survivor) is buried in Cedar Hill Cemetary behind my house.   

Millionare Tycoon and Titanics owner J.P.Morgan is also buried in Cedar Hill Cemetary too.   

I have also visited the Memorial at the Southwest entrance to Macys Manhattan department store for Mr. and Mrs. Isador Strauss.

I went to see the home of Lord Pierre in London,  where he and J.Bruce Ismay planned the building of the Titanic.

I also went to see the Ticketing offices of the White Star Line in London where many people purchased their maiden voyage tickets.

And if thats not enough, the china cabinet in my dining room is filled with reproduction China from the Titanic.   LOL.

Wow David! It sounds like you are interested in the Titanic!

Have you seen the movie?

*Beeeeep!*

I'm just kidding. I have "Titanic" (1997) on DVD. I also have have "Titanic" (1953) with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck on DVD. I also have "A Night To Remember" (1958) with Kenneth More, Jane Downs and Jill Dixon.

Maybe you would know the answer to this: When I lived in Evansville, some people told me they were building a Titanic II, and they planned on stopping the ship at the very spot the original Titanic sank. But I never heard anything else about it.

Did they ever build a Titanic II, or did those people tell me a load of bullshit?

He just logged off. 

I guess I won't get my answer tonight.
