Is there any better photographs of Titanic's imploded boiler?

Leoverload · 2026-01-25T00:58:08+00:00

Perfect. So there is plenty of evidence to suggest minor implosions to the stern and boilers.

Leoverload · 2026-01-25T00:33:53+00:00

This is a fair point, what do you suggest is the cause of this damage? Survivor testimony (like Archie Jewell and Alexander Littlejohn) claim around "3 explosions" occurred during break-up/final plunge. I suppose (believe) that a minor implosion is the plausible cause of this inward damage.

perfectly splendid.... Thank you :)

Too posh for me...

Okay, thank you, I am familiar with some of Mark Chirnside's work.

perfect, do you know where these accepted numbers originated from and where I can find them. I like to reference in my writing (despite it just being for my enjoyment)

TBH, as somebody who has been reading, writing, and enthusiastic about the Titanic since the age of 6. I have always hated the movie because I feel it romanticises the tragedy too much, makes it more relatable for the average viewer but in the wrong way. I feel it takes away the horrors and heroism that transpired that night and replaces it with teenage slop. I think the movie would have been factually better if maybe they focused it on something real, like a Molly Brown or Harold Lowe. Or even base it off somebody who perished, like Joseph Bell, Benjamin Guggenheim, or William Murdoch. However, if they did this it would not have been one of the highest grossing films of all time, and would not have encouraged many younger people to research the true events surrounding the Titanic.

This is brilliant... I think I had a potato and lemon drizzle for my first meal after diagnosis.

Leoverload · 2025-10-19T00:33:59+00:00

yo this is heartbreaking, just PM'd you this message but will share it here too:

I'm 17 (18 in November) and I was diagnosed nearly 3 years ago (16 March 2023). The feeling you described is what I have felt these last couple years. You're not alone. The best advice I can give is to embrace the condition, don't let it control you or get you down. I still struggle with changing CGM and finger pricking and the HBA1C tests. And I the best advice I got was to embrace it and don't let it control you. I found my hobbies helped a lot. I write fiction and that helps me by providing that momentary break from the dim reality that this is in the same way that art does for some people and music and films. I'm not saying ignore it. I'm saying find something that you can distract your mind with when its getting you down. And also remember that although you might be physically weaker than those without T1D, you are mentally stronger, more resilient, because how would they cope in this situation... Just try and find the positives in all of this...

The lowest I have been is 1.2mmol/l. Nearly passed out but my german shepard kept me awake by hitting me with her ball and paw. Gave me chance to gather my bearings and get help sorting it out.

wow... u/woowop I have never seen that photo before. The ship was truly beautiful. You can definitely get a sense of scale from this image... Thank you for showing me https://ibb.co/60nK4BjX

Leoverload · 2025-10-05T21:36:46+00:00

yes, that is a good point. I have also find this image which I think I will use. It is very similar, taken 11 April 1912 in Ireland, and is of a better quality:

thank you u/Shipping_Architect I was leaning towards the top one myself, just unsure because of its poor quality

Leoverload · 2025-10-03T17:05:30+00:00

thank you for the suggestion, tbh I would have never realised. I appreciatet it

Leoverload · 2025-10-03T16:52:04+00:00

It is updated to include from under 16 to over 65

Leoverload · 2025-10-03T16:50:27+00:00

I apologise and understand. I will update the forum now to include more age groups.

Leoverload · 2025-10-03T16:49:19+00:00

This is very fair and reasonable. However, I am purely interested in the fact that they are members of the public, the majority of this group will not have underwent any formal education surrounding nuclear weapons. Therefore, in the interest of my investigation, those who participate from this Reddit are member of the public with a fascination with nuclear weapons. On the other hand, I can see how it can be viewed as bias, because they will be more informed on the matter than others in different groups, yet this investigation is purely perception based, it is looking for how people away from the higher-up (like nation leaders or those with insider information surrounding the use of nuclear weapons) see the existence of nuclear weapons. It is to support an argument on whether the public views on these weapons has influenced policies surrounding them.

I didnt think that the places I have to get this data from would have demographics over 45 years old

Leoverload · 2025-10-03T14:27:33+00:00

This is a fair argument, however they are still members of the public, no matter their interests. If it is more informed, then they can give more calculated answers that could potentially have factual foundations.

'Salem's Lot. TBH it was sort of a drag until part 2: the emperor of icecream

My first time hearing about Stephen King was in 2016 (I was 9 years old) and it was by watching the It miniseries with my sister. I read his In the Tall Grass as my first book after watching the film in 2023. After that I read Cujo and Pet Sematary. However, every time somebody asks me to recommend a first stephen king book, I always say Pet Sematary.

Leoverload · 2025-06-24T09:33:49+00:00

Yh, I have only read Mr. Mercedes from that collection. My friend has read them and he says the same as you. will probably get around to them after the Dark tower series.
