The Titanic Mistake

I'm so in wonder today over how the events of 1912 and 2023 are so similar.

Both crafts were thought to be invincible enough to sell to passengers, even though they had known risks and limitations.

Both crafts had both Captain and Owner present in its demise who knew of the design limitation, the men who made the mistake.

Both crafts ignored warning signs.

We lost huge minds, filthy rich people, and innocent lives.

Both events shocked the world.

Both events lie in the same water tomb on this planet forever, always to be viewed together.

Ironically, the two men who devoted their lives primarily to the history of the Titanic in 1912 have passed from this world via the same path that the 1500 souls did so many years ago.

The Titanic Mistake is hubris.

1. I wonder if someone else with a submersible will take folks to the sight of this latest tragedy?
