This weekend, I had the pleasure of finding "Titanic" while channel surfing. I also stumbled across an article on the Titanic (I believe it was in Newsweek) that mentioned that new information has come out about how the ship sunk. Rather than breaking into two pieces, it broke into three, and did not rise out of the water nearly as high as James Cameron depicted it to have in the movie. The Titanic is definitely a stretch as a movie that depicts history because of its two lead fictional characters and all of their romantic drama, but the film also depicts many real people (like Molly Brown and Captain Smith). Ultimately, it conveys the experience and emotions of that night very well. The fear and desperation of the passengers in this clip therefore seem very true to the event, while the way the ship rose out of the water, split in two, and then sunk may not have been the case:

I couldn't hear the sound in the computer lab so hopefully its okay.
