"horror" is the word. I have never fully gotten over the nightmares I had after watching the movie.

Love the line: horror on all decks. Still…perhaps, the lower decks were wiser though the upper decks had the upper hand. All in all and for all time…a disaster!

Thanks for your thoughts on my old-style cinquain. Kind of a neat way to recall historical events. Such a tragedy!

Bad design, the ballast tanks were designed to fail with a vertical hit leaving the others to keep her afloat but the iceberg cut a horizontal line across all of them and then the disaster unfolded. Must have been absolute chaos on board, such a shame so many lost their lives. Tom

Yes, I can hardly imagine what it would have been like. Thanks, too, for your informative comment. I learned something from your response.
