Besides, the iceberg vanished after it's 15-minutes of fame, never to be seen again...

Supposedly this is a picture of it, taken from the Carpathia:

I Demand to see that iceberg's birth certificate! Without documentary proof it must be an Antarctic 'berg that has no right to be in the North Atlantic!

Actually I understand that there are photos of an iceberg take by a rescue ship showing a red-streak on the ice; the assumption being that it was red-lead paint from Titanic. Perhaps that is the one.

Fun. But one disappears as soon as it gets in hot water while the other is still stuck in the same place frozen in time.

It's still floated far longer than the Obamatanic...

But that policy was watered down to nothing while the other still has people talking and making movies about it.

Disaster is always big news whereas competence is often ignored.

Crap I'm running out of clever metaphors.

Silence and dissolution can be mistaken for competence, masking the direct obstruction towards safe harbour.

This one is usually held as the best candidate for the one that sank the Titanic:

Damage to the right side of the berg and the shape is quite similar to the Rock of Gibraltar,
which is how one eyewitness described the berg.

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure.
