As We Come Up on the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic-- Part 1

I am seeing a lot of articles on one of the events I consider the most interesting in history. And, it has always been a big story from day one.

From the April 5, 2012, Salt Lake (Ut) Tribune "Titanic still captures the attention of popular culture" by Scott D. Pierce.

Attention to the ship increases as we approach the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking this Saturday and Sunday.

**Recently, astronomers at Texas State University made headlines that the moon caused the disaster due to unusually high tides that enabled a much larger number of icebergs to slip out over the sea bottom to float out in the Atlantic.

** James Cameron's Oscar-winning 1997 film "Titanic," the No. 2 moneymaker in movie history, is being released in 3D. I am not a fan of 3D, but am considering seeing it.

** There are also many documentaries out now.

More to Come. --Cooter
