Titanic: The Real Story.

Today, 100-years ago, the "unsinkable" "Titanic", accompanied by an ostentatious display of fanfare, departed from the English port city, Southampton, on its ill-fated "maiden voyage". Why so many words enclosed by quotation marks? Read on - and watch - and you shall see.

Last month, I blogged about the social amnesia of the collective that followed the SS Eastland disaster, where  close to 1,000 people (wiping out 22 entire families) died within a span of 6-minutes, when the packed-to-the-gills, top-heavy streamlined ship tipped over in the Chicago River, merely 3-years after the sinking of the "Titanic". Well, it appears the deep-seated corruption that contributed to the Eastland horror show that dreadful morning, played an even bigger role on April 15, 1912 when 1,507 people lost their lives. Only, we certainly didn't forget this tragedy. Every single American over 6-years old can tell you exactly what happened that sorrowful day in history. Or, can they?

The following film is based on extensive research and includes evidence of both British and American inquiries, the eyewitness reports of survivors, newspapers of the day, photographs, film and radio broadcasts. The views and opinions are based on evidence and legitimate inference.

What you are about to see is a reconstruction of events behind the disaster and the reasons for it.
