Just like it's predecessor built with the most modern technology of its time, this Titanic will be built to exact specifications and will be equipped with most modern 21st century state of the art technology/navigation systems available making it the most safest ship in the world. It will set sail from London to New York on its maiden voyage in 2016. This breaking news this will have people talking today and it will also stir controversy.

Take your pick on which article to read:

But where will they find an exactly identical iceberg for it to hit?

BTW, what will the enviro-whackos say when a huge, coal-burning vessel with zero pollution controls puts to sea in 2016, with a zillion incandescent bulbs on every deck, enough lifeboats for only half the people on board, and a main radio transmitter than can make your hair stand on end if you stand nearby when it transmits?

I take it you did not read one single article in the link I provided.

You are correct. I read two.

Perhaps you should present some actual information on your subject, if you want to later criticize people for not having the information you want them to have. Instead of simply providing a vague link and saying, "The information is out there somewhere. YOU go and find it. And if you draw a conclusion I don't like, I'll come after you."

The link is not vague. It will lead you to many articles on the subject. Read them.

Why should it? With all the new 21st Centurys advanced technology in ship building and navigation systems, it will be unsinkable. Besides, to many lifeboats take up to much deck space and obstruct viewing of the sea.
