My words.

There were those who speculated that an unchecked bunker fire might have weakened the bulkhead and thus played a role in the sinking, the theory being that a heat-weakened bulkhead could have triggered the progressive collapse of other bulkheads under the pressure of tons of More Page More Page Torn Curtain incoming water. Montague himself thought this 18th street gang

rubbish; the ships surviving officers never mentioned the fire as being a continuing or even a minor problem, certainly no factor in the ships fate. It was not even brought up in either the American or British investigations into More Page More Page Torn Curtain the tragedy. Anyway, the Titanic sank because the bulkheads werent tall enough, kaluka maiava

because one of them might have been weakened. There also had been speculation that the bunker fire would have been capable of producing deadly coal fumes, highly combustible if exposed to an ignition source More Page More Page Torn Curtain like a spark-say from a spark caused by collision-damaged metal rubbing against metal. Montague discounted this theory, too; 18th street gang

massive explosion occurring at the moment of impact certainly would not have gone unnoticed. On the contrary, survivors testified as to the apparent gentleness of the impact. He More Page More Page Torn Curtain had read somewhere that a surviving crew member claimed there actually had been a devastating coal-dust explosion-either from a spark or the result of fb starter

combustion-that blew out one side of the ship. White Star officers who lived through the sinking, according to this wild account, More Page More Page Torn Curtain invented the story of the Titanic hitting an iceberg to cover up their own negligence in allowing the bunker fire to rage unchecked. Montague considered this yarn patently false; there was elizabeth hasselbeck

too much evidence and testimony that the liner had, indeed, hit an iceberg. Any alleged More Page More Page Torn Curtain cover-up would have had to involve hundreds of surviving passengers, as well as the supposedly culpable officers. There couldnt have been nearly eight hundred conspirators trying to whitewash J. Bruce Ismays company. Yet the conjecture about clean water act

improbable fire/explosion still intrigued Montagues inherently curious mind, conditioned More Page More Page Torn Curtain to absorb the improbable. He didnt believe the story, but he wondered about another possibility. Suppose an explosion had occurred at precisely the moment the Titanic collided with the bergs hidden spur? Quite a coincidence, but there still were those diehards who refused kaluka maiava

believe a ship More Page More Page Torn Curtain of that size and strength could have been mortally wounded by a relatively small sliver of ice. Was it a combination of collision and explosion damage that had doomed the liner? Montague didnt really believe this, either. That collision had been the classic example of More Page More Page Torn Curtain the irresistible force meeting fb starter

immovable object-46,000 tons of metal racing at more than twenty knots smashing into a frozen meat cleaver. It was the irresistible force that had lost the battle. If only it were possible to find the damned ship, he thought. Such a discovery More Page More Page Torn Curtain might solve so many riddles of the Titanic tragedy, answer how long is the sat

many questions. He had always fantasized about being on an expedition that located the liner-a foolish fantasy, he realized, because what would a retired cryptoanalyst be doing on such an expedition? Someday, somehow, however, oceanographers More Page More Page Torn Curtain like his closest friend, Trevor Van Buren, might make fantasy a reality and separate all the lee iacocca

from fact. Fiction always mixed with fact on the subject of the Titanic, and he found the latter just as interesting as the unfounded rumors that spawned fiction. There were More Page More Page Torn Curtain plenty of facts to excite the imagination without interjecting phony what if.
