Its just about to hit an ICEBERG!!!!!!!!
Run for the boats....

Don't worry everyone, I'm reliably informed that the Titanic is unsinkable so no doubt the story will have a happy ending.
"No, Rose, I said ice hits"
Funnily enough I watched it last night here in Florida.
The whole thing was down to human error - when they spot the iceberg the First Officer orders "Hard to starboard!" But what happens? The wheelsman turns the wheel to port and they hit the bloody thing.
Watch the scene again if you have it recorded and you will see.
I believe that that is because on a ship the wheel is turned the opposite way to which you intend to turn. Any mariners out there care to confirm?
