Absolute disgrace

The question is, could more passengers have survived but for the availability of modern technology. I speak of none other than the bin liner. Would a roll of bin liners buy you a few hours in freezing water? Say one tied around each leg, another around the torso and another for holding necklaces, watches, gold teeth, etc. And a few more for floatation.

It'd take a big puff to inflate them all, so you'd have been indispensable.

I have no sympathy. If she was so hard up she should not have chucked that necklace off the back of the ship.

Yeah, and there was room for two on that floating board...

No that's what she is selling and the real reason the titanic sunk. She swiped the portholes.

I reckon laser eye surgery judging by the thickness of those specs.

She scuttled the Titanic, having pilfered anything of value first. Been living like a queen for donkey's years and now flogging off some tat to fund a full botox, liposuction, face and baps lift 100,000 mile service..

So she's selling a load of old clothes ?

I bet the crafty old dear's been and bought them from a jumble sale. She probably knocks out this scam on eBay three or four times a year.

How did she and her surviving family have time/room to take "momentos" off the sinking ship? Did they leave the old man behind choosing to fill his seat on the lifeboat with some Titanic artefacts, and leave him to drown. Which begs the question had he survived instead of the "momentos" would she be any more likely to pay for her old age?

Maybe we should have a poll?

Read the article - momentos acquired since - suitcase was given by the generous people of NYC as survivors had nothing.

Poor lady. Makes me sick that people can get a million dollar house and do nothing, and this poor lady can't even afford a packet of digestives.

You wouldn't be saying that if it was you in that house.
