Titanic: 100 Years Ago Today

Here's an early report from the UK Guardian on April 15, 1912. And here's a good read from National Review, along with special Titanic coverage from the Southampton Daily Echo and the Halifax Chronicle Herald.
I saw a TV show about the Titanic with James Cameron and a panel of experts, and Cameron said he had never before thought of the amazing fact that the Titanic, unlike the Andrea Doria, Costa Concordia, and many other ships, had not capsized. Imagine how many more poor souls would have died if she had! Also, you always wonder how many people would have been rescued if the Californian had been able to come to Titanic's assistance.
