    I can’t be the only idiot who didn’t realize the Titanic went down that close to Maine/Newfoundland. I’m 38 years old and never once even thought about where they actually sank.

      Around the same age and this was my main takeaway from all this as well. One of my parents was watching the BBC with their coverage of it and I saw the map yesterday and was like wow, was it really that close? What was I doing in school?

      Yeah I felt a little dumb seeing that. I swear I must have known that at some point. Won’t forget it this time though :S
