What happened to Titanic on 19 12?

1912 at about 23: 40 on April 14, the Titanic collided with an iceberg, causing the starboard bow to rupture and five watertight compartments to enter the water. At about 2: 20 the next morning, the Titanic broke in two and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at 3,700 meters. Of the 2,224 crew members and passengers, more than 1500 people were killed, of which only 333 bodies were recovered.

It took 2 hours and 40 minutes from hitting an iceberg to completely sinking. (The chief designer's initial idea was only 2 hours)

The news of the sinking of Titanic shocked the whole western world. At that time, people were no less shocked than the 9. 1 1 incident in the United States in this century. Flags were flown at half-mast in many places on both sides of the Atlantic. King George V of England and President Taft of the United States exchanged messages of condolence. Kaiser Wilhelm II also sent a message of condolence.

Titanic is a big ship with two things, love and disaster. It is not profound at all, so it is transnational, cross-age, cross-gender and cross-culture. All kinds of audiences can understand it and be moved. The love story between Jack and Ruth, in the current buzzwords, is how a diaosi defeated Gao Fushuai and achieved an unforgettable love.
