What Would It Be Like Today If The Titanic Did Not Sink?

Question

What do u think it would be like if the titanic did not sink?

Answer 1

People would still put a lot of faith in ocean voyages, and I think that is better than air travel. A better question: what would it be like today if there were no Wright Brothers.

Answer 2

We would have some big rusty ocean liner sitting in a port somewhere with nowhere to put it.

Answer 3

Pretty much the same.  My personal quality of life would be much better for never having that awful Celine Dion song stuck in my head.  As a society, the Titanic thing was a blip.  A fascinating blip, but one that didn't ultimately change the course of history.  For the individuals involved, life would be a h**l of a lot different, of course, but not for most of us.

Wikipedia does say that the disaster changed ship design and maritime culture, but the things they talk about sound like changes that would eventually have to be made anyway.  At some point or another, another ship would've met with disaster, encouraging the safety changes.  The Titanic probably ultimately only prevented a similar tragedy from happening later.

Answer 4

The same just one less movie to watch.

Answer 5

Molly Brown wouldn't have been "unsinkable."

Answer 6

Ocean liners were very soon replaced by commercial airlines anyways.  Yes, there are still cruise ships, but they do not cross the ocean, they just go from island to island and anchor in carribean ports.

The big ocean-crossing ships were practically obsolete already in other words.

Just like the dangerous beheamoth zeppelins that were better known for killing many many people than for safely transporting them...

Had the titanic not sank, nothing would have been discernably different, unless there was hitler's twin on board or something.

Answer 7

Some people around the world wouldn't even know what that is.

Answer 8

I'm sorry but I have no idea!

Answer 9

Titanic wouldn't be the highest grossing film of all time.  Imagine such a world...I like that world.

Answer 10

i guess more people would live in the us

thats kinda funny cuz i'm watching that movie right now

Answer 11

we would have never heard of leonardo dicaprio and all been the better for it!
