Torn between: if you don’t want to have a horrible death, don’t pay to be bolted into a tin can uncertified death trap vs. the loss of life is tragic and maybe we should hold off on making jokes while the passengers could still be slowly suffocating or freezing to death

#move over trolley problem I guess?#i still don’t know how to feel about people mocking their deaths #i also worry victim blaming will allow this company to try and wriggle out of accountability #i don’t care how dumb they were #the company should’ve never been offering trips in that disaster tin can #and they should be absolutely held accountable #titan #titan submarine #titan submersible #titanic wreckage #titanic #titanic ship #oceangate #mine

Can I just say Ioan Gruffudd is incredible. An INCREDIBLE actor! He literally got less than 5 minutes of screen time in Titanic. And the amount of pain, grief and guilt he was able to convey in shots that lasted LITERALLY FOR SECONDS.

Listening to a podcast about the Titanic (bc I'm a 90s child and I remember it in theaters and getting the VHS tape) and I've come to a conclusion.... I have an idea for a movie.

I want a movie based on the events of that night about the Carpathia. I want a Carpathia movie. This movie based upon their trip, their ice warnings, the 30 minutes of OT the radio operator had the night of the sinking when he got Titanic's distress calls, the crewmen not believing the guy because Titanic is unsinkable!? The Captain responding in full force where he pushed his ship and crewmen those 58 miles in iceberg infested waters to get to the wreckage, and only for them to find shell shocked survivors in lifeboats.

That's the story I want to hear. How fate intertwined with this ship and how her crew responded and didn't give a fuck about their lives in those hours. I want their stories, and the stories of the lives they saved from the harsh northern Atlantic waters.

The Carpathia. Looking at you James Cameron

Sometimes I make poor decisions.

Today's poor decision was stumbling on the wikipedia page for the sinking of the titanic and reading the whole damn thing late into the night while I have to get up at 6 tomorrow. And now I kind of can't stop thinking about it.

I already love the 1910s, that short 4 year period before the war. It feels like a child who got bored during a long lecture, innocent in a little fantasy world. The silent films of Melies, the glowy black and white photos, all the art about the magic beyond mundane life repeated for centuries. Escaping, from the exposing rough work to fiction.

And that dreamy vibe plastered on this tragedy. Suits and dresses and formality mixed with the human instinct to survive. The band that plays a hymn instead of a happy score for a late dinner. The couple who decided to stay on board together because the husband wouldn't be let on the lifeboat. The riches looking at living hell as a minor inconvenience in their lives - first class closest to the deck, first to get a lifeboat, first to leave. The captain in the wheelroom. The radio operators sending distress signals until the electric system died off and all the neat morse dotwork turned into a jumbled mess. The engineers, not one of them made it. All the men who told the women and children "after you", but never followed.

I often wonder how humanity would be now without the trauma of the war, and I fear we might be the same. But Titanic was not the one to break us. We learned from it, and keep remembering, keep searching and creating. And that gives me a bit of hope.

We're not unsinkable. Right. But we can learn how to swim.

I know everyone’s making jokes abt the submarine(rightfully so) but can we discuss how sketchy the whole situation is\was?

1.to steer the submarine they were using a VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER? That wasn’t even fully charged

2.they were sent down with1-2 meals,for 4 days

3. 3 years ago An employee got fired for voicing there thoughts abt how unsafe the idea of the submarine was

4.The passengers knew that there would be a 90% chance of them being put in danger and they still took that chance for”fun”

5.the passengers paid to be put at risk!(its there own money but..why would they do that?…)

6.there were only 96 hours worth of air (96 hrs=4 days) why would they risk it knowing there was a 90% chance of them dying&being put in danger for 4 or less days??

7.the submarine was made out of supermarket parts-

8.it was never tested..at all zero demos,nope none, as soon as they finished building it they found people and sent them in the water

9.idk if its just me but it seemed like they were targeting rich ppl-

10.if the submarine exploded what was that banging we heard?

the whole titanic situation is making me anxious because it literally took them like 73 years to find a ship THAT big and we have only about less than 30 hours left, as of now, to find that small submarine with the people in it alive.

#titanic #oceangate #obviously I hope for a miracle but it does give me anxiety thinking about how the clock’s ticking as we speak #ocean gate #news #happening right now #titanic ship #submarine #ocean #titanic wreckage #titanic wreck

“[…] The carbon fire and titanium, there’s a rule you don’t do that, well I did[…]”

The passengers of Titan listening to him explain this as the tin can starts making some… interesting noises

#thoughts and prayers to the family but #lmaoooooooooo #maybe stop and think about WHY you’re not supposed to do something #the more I learn about the Titan the harder it is not to laugh at the absurdity and bad decision making #titanic ship #titanic wreckage #titanic #titan submarine #Titan #titan submersible #oceangate #mine

After watching Cameron's Titanic, and the 2012 Titanic mini series, I really want You're Wrong About to do a Titanic episode. Because there's SO much material there to explore, especially when it comes to questions of "who was to blame" and "what could/should have been done differently."

Fictionalized dramatizations love to lay blame at the feet of J. Bruce Ismay while martyrizing Thomas Andrews. I think this is in large part because Ismay survived to take the blame, while Andrews went down with the ship. But eyewitness testimony supports the idea that Ismay helped to prepare and load lifeboats for an hour before stepping into a lifeboat, and that he waited to be sure no more women were nearby before getting in the boat. There's no real evidence he pushed his way onto a lifeboat or acted out of cowardice. There's also no documented evidence that he encouraged a reluctant Captain Smith to raise the ship's speed in an effort to reach New York early.

There's also no documented evidence that anybody was shot during the evacuation, despite what's portrayed in the 1997 film. Eyewitness testimony claims that an officer (probably 5th Officer Lowe) fired warning shots into the air to prevent people from jumping into a full boat from the deck and possibly capsizing it.

2nd Officer Charles Lightoller is often maligned for his "women and children only" interpretation of evacuation procedures. This seems wrong to our 2023 sensibilities, but we forget the extremely strict gender mores of Edwardian Englandd. And the fact that after being washed off of the sinking ship along with a capsized Collapsible B, he saved the lives of almost 30 men by pulling them onto the boat and organizing them to keep the boat afloat until rescue. After the boat was full he spent much of the night standing on the most narrow part of the boat, in frozen clothes, to keep it from capsizing.

One last thing I'll touch on is the claim that more lifeboats on the ship would have equaled more lives saved. It's true that the ship only carried enough lifeboats for half of the passengers on board, but it's unlikely there would have been time to launch more than 20 boats before the ship went down. As it is the last 2 collapsible boats weren't launched, but were washed off the boat deck as the ship foundered, one of them upside down.

I think that we, as humans, have a strong desire for every story to have clear heroes and villains, and we have a hard time accepting that people aren't basically good or bad, but that they're basically people. That individuals can do their best with the information they have in the moment, and it won't really matter, and there's no individual action that could have stopped the tragedy from happening or changed the outcome. People are complex, and tragedies are multifaceted, and there weren't any Cal Hockleys aboard the real Titanic.

Whyyyyyyyyy is this the year that I find out for the first time ever that there were Chinese boarders on the Titanic???

Am I stupid and just overlooked them or did culture and pop society really just not talk about them? Or is it both??

Tim swears Phantom could’ve been a Titan. Maybe he should be, at this point. They have enough in common to justify it.

“Jeez,” Phantom groans. Abruptly, he drops the levitation and hits the roof without sound. He stretches out on his back like a cat, sore muscles straining in a way Red Robin deeply relates to. “Fighting the living sucks. At least with ghosts I can swing as hard as I need. Already dead means they get back up! But mortals? Way too squishy.”

Red Robin huffs in agreement. “Yeah,” he says. After a moment’s consideration, he lies down, too.“It’s a hundred times harder than people realize. Batman’s always going on about perfect control in training. About how to have it, you gotta be twice as skilled as the other guy. Even without your super-strength, I worry sometimes.”

“How do you do it?” Phantom asks. In a move only achievable to those without bones, or perhaps Dick Grayson, he twists himself over. Gloved hands cup his cheeks. His legs kick back and forth, like they’re gossiping at a slumber party. “I mean. You said you train, so obviously there’s the physical ‘how.’ But how do you keep your emotions nonlethal? How do you keep yourself in check, make sure you’re pulling back?”

“I mean,” says Red Robin. “Murder is illegal, so.”

Phantom sighs. “Yeah. Maybe it’s easier for you.”

… Hm. Maybe Red Robin should redo Phantom’s risk assessment.

Before he can raise too high an eyebrow (though even moving that muscle smarts, ow), Phantom elaborates.

“Ecto-based entities have trouble with their emotions,” he explains. “It’s easy to get lost in an Obsession, or a big feeling like grief. The rest of the world… it bleeds away. Helps to have another emotional anchor to keep it at bay. I use fear.”

“Fear?” Red Robin glanced over.

“Sometimes sheer stubbornness,” Phantom admits. “But a lot of it is fear.”

With a considering frown, he drops his head atop his arms. Exhaustion, regret, reluctance play out on his face. For someone the Bats know next to nothing about, Phantom’s body language is an open book.

“I saw, like, an alternate future version of myself once where I become evil and try to take over the world? So now I gotta be good to keep that from happening. The fear of that future keeps the pressure on me. Makes me focus up. Y’know?”

Tim sits up. “Seriously?”

Phantom nods. “Uh-huh. Kinda bizarre, I know—”

“What the hell,” says Tim. Three consecutive days together and a concussion must loosen his lips, because holy shit, no way. “Dude! Me too!”

“Huh? Seriously?” says Phantom.

“Yeah! I totally saw myself turn evil. Like, Batman but with guns. Guns Batman. I had to fight him and everything. He tried to kill my friends and erase my memory to make sure I couldn’t un-invent him by going back to change the past?”

“Oh my god.”

“What?”

“Oh my god, me too!”

happy wips wednesday!

#they get on like a house on fire after this convo #danny totally gets to meet the titans #do you guys ever think about titans tomorrow #dcxdp #dpxdc #kipwrite #kipsnip #danny fenton #tim drake #prompt #dead tired ship #<- up to interpretation really #honestly not much of a wip tho this was just a warm up #but warm up wednesday doesnt sound as good
