Overlijdensrisicoverzekering Titanic Coincidence
If you’ve done any research at all on the Titanic, or even if you’ve just flipped through an article or two about the sinking of the ship, you’re probably aware of at least one remarkable coincidence associated with the great tragedy ” that fourteen years before the Titanic sank, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novella titled Futility about the largest and grandest ocean liner of it’s time ” one considered unsinkable because of it’s new, water tight compartments ” that sank after striking an iceberg. Many passengers lost their lives because the ship did not carry enough lifeboats. The name of this fictional ship? The Titan!
But here’s a small fact that most people are not aware of. At the exact moment on that fateful night in April of 1912 that the Titanic was striking the iceberg, over 200 Second Class passengers were in the Second Class dining room watching a screening of “The Poseidon Adventure”!
In 1912, the film industry had just begun producing motion pictures. They were all still silent features and all filmed in black and white. Most were no more than one real long, only lasting for 8 to 10 minutes. But this new form of entertainment captivated audiences everywhere. To show that it was the most luxurious liner on the seven seas, the Titanic carried it’s own movie projector and a library of movies.
However, the film industry still had a somewhat unsavory image due to it’s Nickleodeon days. The First Class passengers aboard the Titanic were offended by this new form of entertainment. So the films were shown at 11 PM, after the First Class Passengers retired, and only in the Second Class dining room.
The audience of a few hundred Second Class passengers was so enthralled with The Poseidon Adventure – a tale of six passengers and crew members struggling to survive the sinking of their ship ” that they either didn’t feel the shudder of the ship as it struck the iceberg or they took no notice. In fact, they were so entertained by the movie that it was shown a second time, immediately after the first.
“The Poseidon Adventure” was a newer movie, and a longer one too. After watching the 53 minute feature a second time, it was after 1AM when the Second Class passengers finally returned to the deck of The Titanic. There they found that nearly all of the lifeboats had already been launched. These hundreds of Second Class passengers were stranded onboard a sinking ship, while the too few lifeboats, full of First Class passengers and crew members, drifted off into the distance.
This grim coincidence could explain why barely one third of the Titanic’s Second Class Passengers survived while nearly two thirds of the First Class passengers and crew made it to safety.
