Key to the Titanic disaster
 
I must admit I find this a little far fetched. Surely if the binocs in the crows nest were locked away and the look-out had no key one would then simply smash it open with a fire axe.

I'll add it to my list.


Keys to the Titanic disaster:

1. Have a pair of radio operators on all maritime vessels, running alternating shifts.

2. Don't increase your speed in known iceberg areas.

3. Don't chop speed while trying to turn.

4. Don't use reverse thrust while trying to turn.

5. Don't use Scottish steel with high sulfur content.

6. Do things the actual ship designer calls for.

7. Don't remove lifeboats to clear deck-space

8. Don't remove bulkheads because they're unsightly.

9. Don't lock the binoculars case.

10. Don't lock the binoculars case, then leave the ship, taking the binoculars-case key with you.

16. Don't forget to offer your passage ticket to the highest bidder before she sails.

17. Dont forget to install the 16 Km mod so you would have seen the iceberg a lot sooner

18. Be sure to upgrade out of 3rd class....you get a key to the lock on the upper deck classes.

Actually I think we'd need a new Titanic disaster, something to get rid of a whole load of celebrities at once.
Imagine putting Paris Hilton, Britney and K-Fad, Brangelina, Donald Trump, Roman Abramovich, Lindsey Lohan and whoever on a ship and let it crash into an iceberg.
Good thing is that today's celebs are not victorian era gentlemen, so this time the fatality rate among the first class passengers would be higher.
I don't suppose P.Diddy or 50 Cent would have women and children have his seat in the life boat, don his tux and go to the salon to drink a good cognac, smoke a cigar and die with style.

Install a 'instant back to port' button like SH3;)
