100 things we learned from Titanic II


1. Apparently glaciers on the size of Rhode Island can fall within minutes and create enourmous waves. If that's not enough, even a bigger block of glacier will fall hours later and create an even bigger wave.

2. When a giant wave is about to hit a ship, hide in a closet and hope for the best.

3. Apparently submarine like lifeboats can't stand a massive wave.

4. You don't need stairs in the Titanic II, the elevators will work even though the ship is sinking sideways and there's a massive fire.

5. Instead of taking the stairs in an emergency, you will use the elevators.

Please continue to bash this piece of *beep*
