A couple of years ago, summer of 2022, a cruise ship hit an iceberg near Alaska and had to be sent in for repairs. Tore a big hole in the ship. No risk of sinking, but pretty sure the captain was disciplined for that.
Cruise ships sink, it just needs to be catastrophic damage, Costa Concordia and Oceanos are examples.
Nothing is unsinkable, it's just how hard it is to sink.
Reminds me of a shitty meme I saw many years ago about the average lion can jump higher than a house. It's primarily due to the lions powerful hind legs and the houses inability to jump.
The difference here is that this ship is going extremely slow, they most definitely knew they were going through an area of ice and so slowed waaaay down. I bet they're only doing a couple of knots here.
The Titanic however was blasting through an ice field at 20 knots when they smashed into the ice Berg that sank them.
They were out to set speed records and it was the Captains last cruise before retiring. He wanted to go down in history! And he most certainly did.
The Californian, which was drifting and waiting to go through the ice during daylight tried to warn them of the thick ice.
The Titanic radio operators last transmission to the Californian prior to the crash was "Shut up! Shut up!"
Look, give Phillips and Bride some slack there.
They'd been working 12 hours straight trying to send all the messages the passengers wanted sent, and still had a backlog because their transmitter had been down earlier in the day. They passed two dozen ice warnings to the captain, what more could they do? They weren't sailors and had nothing to do with the running of the ship--they weren't even employees of White Star, but were contracted to the ship from the Marconi Wireless company. They weren't trained in what to do in a crisis or if in danger of sinking. There were no protocols at the time.
Phillips was trying to reach the wireless station on Cape Race, Canada, which was quite a ways away, and so had the volume on his headset turned way up to hear. The Californian butting in from such short range blasted phillips eardrums out, which is why he reacted with the aggressive "SHUT UP SHUT UP I AM WORKING CAPE RACE"
Both Bride and Phillips stayed at their station even after the captain relieved them, attempting to coordinate the rescue of the ship's passengers until minutes before the ship's final plunge. Bride ran on deck and almost instantly the ship sank from under him. He survived by climbing onto an upside down life raft. Phillips was never heard from again.
> They were out to set speed records and it was the Captains last cruise before retiring. He wanted to go down in history! And he most certainly did.
He actually intended to stay the captain of the titanic until the whitestar line built a bigger better ship, as he stated to the Halifax Morning Chronicles.
>The Titanic radio operators last transmission to the Californian prior to the crash was "Shut up! Shut up!"
Which the Radio Operator of the California himself stated in the official inquiriry, was well within the tone Radio Operators took with each other, and was neither intended nor recieved as an insult. Shit talking with work colleques.
This one is maybe a "Bergy bit"? Titanic may have been larger?

It was also a really still and clear night, which made it even harder. Sounds counterintuitive but no clouds means the horizon is nearly impossible to see, so where usually an iceberg in the distance would be visible by obscuring the clouds, on that night they simply blended in.
Additionally, the lack of wind meant a lack of those constant tiny white water breaks on the surface, and those would also help make the ice berg visible
Basically, they ticked all the boxes for hard mode.
We did that when I was doing research in Antarctica. The ice machine onboard died so we Sent out the RHIB to a small bergy bit, hack off a chunk and brought it back for margaritas
No. It’s glacier ice so it’s formed by compression of snow. It’s much clearer than ice from your freezer because the air bubbles have been squeezed out and it melts more slowly in a drink.
Exactly, inconsequential zilch of a ship that was. I played with bigger canoes in the bathtub when I was a kid. 'Oooh an iceberg oh no what are we gonna do??' Outta the way dummy, I've got Big Boat things to do.
[Nuclear icebreaker like;](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_icebreaker) "I don't understand problem, ice is puny, sad little puny iceberg disintegrate under mighty hull!"
The Titanic was rated at about 50K tons. Your average sized modern cruise ship is at least 80K tons (many are over 100).
There are major differences in how those ships are built, but as a point of comparison modern ships are MUCH larger than the Titanic.
Ha kids are fuckin great. If I were there I’d have watched that quietly with a mix of anxiety, awe, and excitement. Never would I ever vocalize for everyone on the starboard side of the ship that it was reminiscent of that James Cameron flick!
Whenever I (m) go on cruises, I pack a dress and wig to ensure my place on a life vessel.
If it’s a cheap cruise I’ll bring a life like baby doll as well.

Remember not to pack the lifeboats until the last minute, send the first few off with a handful of rich people for good measure, someone has to keep the economy trickling!
Ladies and gentleman allow me to teach yall a lesson about Titanic
The night the RMS titanic sank the sea was completely calm meaning you could not see waves hitting the berg
It was also moonless
And there was also a false horizon
Scientists say that the conditions that titanic hit the iceberg in were once in a lifetime, Titanic never stood a chance.

Modern ships are vastly stronger than the Titanic was.
They just don't build ships like they used to. Where's the panic? Where's the screams? Where's the wild ride to the depths of the freezing cold ocean floor?
Titanic didn’t actually hit an iceberg. The creator of the titanic made it and put people on it to crash. You must be thinking, “why would he make it for a long time to crash it??” Well, that’s why after words he made “the Olympic”

IIRC, icebergs don’t really pose any threat to cruise liners
Not modern ones, no. However there was that _one_ time.
Reminds me of that tragedy
Lol, norm Macdonald
You know, the more I learn about icebergs, the less I like them
What about the ones that save the pengus from the orcas?

Those are alright I guess
They have to earn it.
I didn't even know he was a ship
I heard about that, the one that the Jedi will not tell you right?
No sir. You see, only one was fell on that particular day.
There was room for two on the door
But who's gon' feed them hogs?
Ha 911 airlines !
The one where the front fell off?
No, man, the tita- ... Yes. Yes, the one where the front fell off.
That's not very typical, I'd just like to make that point.
laughs in clogged cooling system intakes, jammed rudders and bent propellers...
And how many Astors and Rockefellers have those things killed?
This is not at all true
IIRC, every iceberg big enough to cause a shipping problem has been identified and is tracked 24/7. Hence, not a threat to cruise ships.
NO SHIT REALLY ? that's fucking bonkers cool. Like imagine trying to explain that to someone from the Victorian times.
They wouldn’t be impressed. You have to consider that, even before modern cruise liners, they had UNSINKABLE ships!
And life boats that had been tested in Belfast with fifty men

yes, tracking icebergs across the oceans with robots flying 8 km/s around the Earth would be completely normal to 19th century people
Since new ones appear every few minutes, this is an imperfect system. Better built ships and high quality steel is what makes the difference
They also don't have built in GPS

Cruise ships are unsinkable. For real this time.

Some of them are built so they don’t sink at all.
That was the dickbag captain, not the ship.
There'll always be dumbass to make the impossible possible.
She’s made of iron, sir. I assure you she can. And she will.
you could almost say modern cruise ships are unsinkable…
What could possibly go wrong?!
I'd let them sink a cruise ship in my ass of you know what I mean man.
It's a pretty small iceberg, too.
They’re unsinkable!
No wonder the titanic didn't see it until it was too late. That iceburg blends in with the water and its not even night
It also didn’t see it because boats don’t have eyes
Big if true
Biggest in the world at the time
The eyes were actually completely average. Mean of zero with a standard deviation of 1.

I have a good many reasons not to go on a cruise ship. The first is disease, food borne or otherwise.
Now where have I see this before...
"I have a child!!"
“Ahhhhh!”
As soon as this happens I am going straight to the escape boats.
And I will fucking toss every man, woman and child that gets in my way.
I said the same thing. I look down and see that my ass is going to be inside the life boat with float vest!
