The actor who played Mr. Strauss in the film Titanic died today at 94. Another strange connection.

The Strauss couple are proof that not all rich people are greedy and evil.

it is a fools errand to mess w the titanic, it is a body snatcher

What is sad is some people knew Titanic had safety and structural issues and sailed anyway resulting in disaster and major loss of life. Hundreds of years later we find that the submersible had safey and structural issues and ventured forth anyway resulting in disaster and loss of life. Seems there is a lesson to be learned, as history has repeated itself. If we do not learn from history, it is repeated.

The connection is that it ended tragically just like the Titanic while they were looking for the Titanic!

This submarine have any connection with the actual Titanic passenger?

[denisespurlock]

I think Stockton Rush lost perspective of how important safety procedures were.

[Chuck]

You know there are other movies about the Titanic that have dramatized that scene, right??
