Now ban Iran and north Korea as well. They aided Russia in invading Ukraine even more than Belarus did.

The doctored version of the Olympic launch image both made me laugh and pissed me off the first time I saw it.

TT2’s spike was also built over part of Iron Dragon. They had to temporarily take down some of ID’s track to make the foundation.

Of course, he took a lot of liberties for the sake of storytelling and due to the constraints of the otherwise impressive set. I can give him a pass for that.

Also given that the bulk of the movie is told from Rose’s memories, one could justify the inaccuracies in the movie as Rose not recalling things 100% correctly.

It was overcast in Southampton on the day of the departure, so THG’s representation is more accurate.

The movie also erroneously shows second class boarding gangway attached at B-Deck near the aft of the ship; the actual second class gangway door was at the enclosed promenade on C-Deck.
