THE TITANIC

THE TITANIC 🚢🧊

Said to be unsinkable , the Titanic made history as it first set sail on April 15th 1912  , but…

Suddenly, closing in, the Titanic was faced with a colossal iceberg  which dragged the ship to the seabed below. Over 1500 passengers died (whereas only about 700 people survived) .

Over a century later (now) , rich people have paid 200,000 pounds to go down to try and find the Titanic wreck.

It is so deep down that only about 3 ships in the entire world are able to go down that deep -otherwise it would crush the ship apart- because of the pressure of 3 kilometres of water above them .

A submarine has recently gone down to find the Titanic. Worryingly, it has gone missing and has lost radio contact...

 

*

Tragically, we now know that their submarine imploded only a few days ago and every person on that submarine has sadly died.

This has also happened to another ship that went to explore it a while ago.
