Saw it. Hated it.....
But then I'm one of "those people" who believe that ships like Titanic & Edmond Fitzgerald should be left on the floor of the respective bodies of water at the bottom of which they lay. I applaud that Bob Ballard found the big "T" and that they found and brought up the bell up from the fore of the EF. But other than that, I think the end of their respective stories should remain under the water that claimed them.
I saw the tour of "The Titanic" and found it fascinating but that's enough for me. I've always believed that the men and women and children who went down on each (and so many others) deserve to rest where they are. The US preoccupation with disaster and the desire to see everything that comes with it has bordered on the obscene from time to time and in many cases reveals our general lack of respect for the tragedy itself, in the middle of our obsession with seeing the "aftermath". When I pass an accident on the side of the road I slow just enough to make sure help has arrived or been called for and then pray that everyone involved is OK. I'm not looking for "blood, guts and bodies" just so I'll have a story to tell at the Post Office or wherever else I may be.
I was at UPS one afternoon when a young man came in talking about an older gentleman who had been hit by a car crossing a Highway that runs from South Seattle to Everett and he was excitedly telling everyone in line how he was the guy who had hit that man....
"It was totally his fault and I got a day off with pay!"...... I remarked that hitting another human being with one's car would be a good reason to seek a support group to deal with the aftermath and his response was "Why would I do that? It wasn't my fault!"......
This, even though that elderly gentleman had been killed in the crossing. There are some things I will simply never understand. But I do know that tragedy on the scale of those ships going down needs to be left well-enough alone.
And for all those lost at "sea".......
