BBC Breakfast News this morning. All about the Titanic.

Why?

It's 100 hundred years since it sank, but this is overkill.

Ludicrous.

The BBC news dedicated an entire hour to the Titanic story this morning. It's not like anyone doesn't know the story.

There's a statue of Captain Smith in Lichfield.

He should have slowed down in the first place and not been going so fast with risk of icebergs, then the hole in the side of the ship would have been shorter/smaller, less compartments would have flooded and it would have stayed afloat.

You see speed kills - oh hang on a minute this is PH

I heard that if they had hit the iceberg head-on it wouldn't have sank.
