Titanic Collision!




A little more than 95 years after the sinking of the Titanic by an iceberg another ship has its hull stove in by an iceberg!

I think its a conspiracy, they both were ships, they had Brits on board, they were both in the ocean when it happened. Coincidence? Methinks not!

Better a conspiracy than the lawsuits which are bound to happen.


Iceberg smash sinks cruiseliner

MORE than 20 British passengers are among 154 people forced to abandon a cruise liner sinking in the Antarctic Ocean.
The captain and first officer gave the order to leave the MV Explorer after it was holed by an iceberg. They were the only men to remain on board.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We have not had any reports of anyone seriously injured. We are in contact with all the relevant authorities.

"We are still monitoring the situation closely and will provide full consular assistance as necessary."
The collision, which caused a small hole in one of the cabins of the Canadian-owned, Liberian-flagged vessel, occurred early this morning in temperatures of about minus 5C.
Owner G.A.P. Adventures, based in Toronto, said the MV Explorer "hit ice" in the Bransfield Strait off King George Island, Antarctica, at 5.24am.
It added that all passengers and crew were safe and uninjured.
