Not exactly Scifi, but it's a general discussion topic...
James Cameron and his team pull together a new CGI of how they believe the Titanic sank and reached the ocean floor.
In the picture, Titanic weighs anchor and sails off into history in this last photo ever taken of her.
11 April 1912 – Day Two of the maiden voyage of Titanic.
At 11.30 am on Thursday, 11 April, Titanic arrived at Cork Harbour in southern Ireland. It was a partly cloudy but relatively warm day with a brisk wind. As in their first stop in Cherbourg, the dock facilities were not suitable for a ship of her size, and tenders were used to bring passengers aboard. 113 Third Class and seven Second Class passengers came aboard, while seven passengers left. Among the departures was Father Francis Browne, a Jesuit trainee, who was a keen photographer and took many photographs aboard Titanic, including the last-ever known photograph of the ship. A decidedly unofficial departure was that of a crew member, stoker John Coffey, a native of Queenstown who sneaked off the ship by hiding under mail bags being transported to shore. Titanic weighed anchor for the last time at 1.30 pm and departed on her westward journey across the Atlantic.
After leaving Queenstown, Titanic followed the Irish coast as far as Fastnet Rock, a distance of some 55 nautical miles (63 mi; 102 km). From 11 April to local apparent noon the next day, Titanic covered 484 nautical miles (557 mi; 896 km).
Let's discuss, such as, how certain things could of been possibly avoided, etc.

Infarct here is a model that I have built but I still need rigging and the flag's placed on her. Only thing that is holding me back is that I need a diagram guide on how to do the Radio antenna part and from there it is very much down hill from there.
Enjoy and I would love to have help for the Radio Antenna which the thing is the Revell 1/570 kit.
Well, the antenna was a 4 wire antenna suspended between the ship's 2 masts... you can see the point at which they connect onto the Foremast...
This might be of some help:
