PAST DRAMA

The Titanic sank because the ship insisted on being “unsinkable.” Pride is heavier than water.

✗ FAKE
The Titanic sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. The ship was described as practically unsinkable in some publicity, but it was not a boast the ship made. Design limits and too few lifeboats contributed.
