re Titanic.

It nearly hit some other ship, the Washington, the New York, the Boston or something like that.

To be ironic I guess it would be the "New York".

It was indeed the "New York."

The Titanic's propeller's created such a huge suction that it ripped the New York away from her moorings on the dock. The Titanic's captain responded quickly by reversing the ship's engines, and an alert tug captain intervened as well. Disaster averted...?

The irony is on many levels. The name of the other ship, the fact that reversing the engines saved the ship this time but was what doomed her 4 days later, and that had this accident occured, the Titanic would have had to go back for repairs, thus delaying her voyage well beyond Atlantic iceberg season.

Except for this one.

It's not fair to admit you're wrong. It takes away all the fun for everyone else.

It's just that otherwise wernazuma or one of the like would have come up to me and told me how much Austrian culture is influenced by Balkan stuff. We'd be ashamed of such a cultural rape, they identify by it

Should be right. IIRC the defenders celebrated easter together just before the turks broke through and won the final struggle.

I thought the Turks actually arrived after Easter only.
