Where Were You When You Heard the Titanic Sunk? (Phoenix, California, Ohio)

[nightbird47]

My genetic contributers were in several places. Mom wasn't born but her dad was living in Los Angeles, her mom was possibly in Texas, though she could have been in Los Angeles by then. Dad was on farm in a small town in Alabama but he was only one.

Me? I was the far off glimmer in the river of entrophy which hadn't happened in this ordered time perception yet.

Well, my grandfather was alive, but <1 year old, and I was born when he was 59, so I wasn't a gleam in anyone's eye at the time.

Though I will note the irony that if it hadn't sunk on that voyage, none of us would have ever even heard of it.

Okay, time to come clean. I pushed the iceberg into that position. I just thought it would be a funny practical joke, the ship would make a hard maneuver to get out of the way and later we'd all just laugh and laugh. I didn't see it getting out of hand. Mea Culpa.

No worries. The statute of limitations has elapsed.

I was a little kid watching a show about the tragedy on TV.. I was very shocked indeed!

Now that you mention it, I must have been 8 or 9. It was terrifying but I loved Kenneth Moore.

My Grandpa was born in 1912 and I was the twinkle in his eye.

I do remember when Bob Ballard found the Titanic; I was in elementary school and quickly became obsessed by it (well, at least when He-Man wasn't on TV ).

You claim it was a joke, but why should we accept that? Most of us suspect it was the act of Comanche Nationalist terrorists.

I was watching a show on PBS about it when I realised it was real, then I asked my great-grandparents about it, and they both said while they were alive when it happened, they don't remember it 'cause they were only a year old at the time.
