96 years ago today

the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage, sinking in the early morning hours of April 15th. More than 1,500 people died.

The ship, called 'unsinkable', has been the subject of legends, of documentaries, of movies, and of research. There is one living survivor, Milvina Dean, who was 2 months old at the time of the disaster.

It's a reminder that mankind's technology may be great, but nature's forces are still greater.
