CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC

 

Thousands of people were at the dock in Belfast, Ireland to watch the launch of the RMS Titanic on March 31, 1911. It was the largest, luxurious cruise ship of the time. Titanic measured 882+ feet long, 175 feet high and weighed more than 46,000 tons. The builders boasted that it was the most modern technology having four elevators and a wireless communications system that could transmit Morse Code; bragging that the ship was unsinkable. Recently a deep-sea submersible tragedy occurred where the vehicle imploded with five people aboard brings up the story of the Titanic's tragic sinking. 

So why did it sink after grazing an iceberg?

SITREP OF A REPUBLIC IN DANGER

 

Democrats have been downplaying the importance of our Founding Fathers and by commandeering our education system installing Marxist teachers who have been indoctrinated by our corrupt collegiate system, they have established Marxist teachers, professors and administrators. Some local education councils have been chosen to go along with the detrimental curriculum that has poisoned the minds of America's youth and have grown so powerful that they counter parental wishes as to what their children should be taught and should not.

THE DYING TOWN OF CIVITA DI BAGNOREGIO

 

An interesting ancient city located in Italy, founded by the Etruscans 2,500+ years ago is Civita di Bagnoregio located in central Italy 75 miles (120 kilometres) north of Rome. The only access is a footbridge from a nearby town that costs 5 Euros to enter the “dying” city. It is called the “dying city” because it sits on a hilltop that has been crumbling from earthquakes and eroding because of the soft volcanic rock.

The civita (city) is in a valley of badlands in a region east of Lake Bolsena, west of Tiber Valley. The village was established in 500 BC. Civita is inhabited by 16 people. The concrete pedestrian bridge was built in 1995, generally restricted to pedestrians, but certain people may cross the bridge by bike or motorcycle at certain times.


The layout of the town originated by the Etruscans and Romans and the architecture seen today is of medieval origin. The cave of Saint Bonaventure who was healed by Saint Francis, is also an Etruscan tomb. Many tomb entrances have been covered by rockfalls over the centuries. Saint Bonaventure was born in the Civita and died in 1274. The house he grew up in has fallen of the edge of the crumbling cliff.
