@loopback0 I am in this post, and I do not like it.

@acrow I remember overhearing a couple of women talking to each other; I'd guess it was probably about 30 years ago. One woman told the other that she'd become a grandmother at the age of 32.
My cousin and my half-sister were about that age.
As were many from my high school.

@loopback0 I can just hear a voice - probably Hugh Dennis's - saying, "Have you been injured in an accident that wasn't your fault? You could be entitled to compensation."
Then I remember that 'wasn't your fault' is literally the definition of an accident, and my pendantry meter starts ticking.
-
@Arantor it doesn't say anything about who caused the accident.

@Gribnit I did spend like an hour trying to find the relevant Mock The Week sketches to explain the meta joke here but :effort:.

I've found the reason the cases are going up

As long as you live in a no-fault state, it's not your fault, even if it is.

S'not any crazier than the antecedent, just more concentrated.

@DoctorJones I have good news and bad news. The good news is that global ice extent has stabilized and icebergs aren't threatened anymore.

Wouldn't melting glaciers lead to more sea ice floating south?

Now there's a thought. What kind of weather did they have back then, to get icebergs floating on a shipping lane?
And in numbers at that. The ship was big. But not big enough to plow the only iceberg in the sea, surely?
-
@acrow I thought they sank further north—shortest route would be around south tip of Newfoundland, across the mouth of Gulf of St. Lawrence and along the coast of Nova Scotia—, but they were actually quite far south. And I believe they did that to avoid the ice … they basically really did plow into the only iceberg in the sea. They hexed themselves with all that unsinkable marketing.

IIRC it wasn't on the shipping lane. The cruise was running late and the captain wanted to cut some corners. After some other corners were already cut during the ship's latest maintenance work.

Not to cast any doubts on your post, but kind of curious what kind of maintenance a ship on its maiden voyage would need?

But you do! Revealed your opinion is.

Probably the same kind software does. Obvious things that somehow nobody thought of before signing off the first release.

The amount of work going on during the voyage would have had no practical impact on what happened when a huge gash was cut in the side of the ship below the waterline. Most ships aren't built quite that tough (the exceptions are ones intended for polar work, which Titanic wasn't) especially for handling a collision at speed.
I'm really glad my great-grandfather wasn't on board. (He had an offer to be the bandleader, but turned it down.)
-
@Bulb Apparently, the ice conditions at the time were the worst in 50 years, so there was a bit of exceptional circumstances going on. So even with the course change, Titanic ran into a field of ice. And the weather at the time was perfect for minimum visibility of icebergs. So, yeah, a bit of overconfidence combined with exceptional circumstances.

Funny!

Emus, tho, most likely. There was a big emu oil kick sorta tapering off around then, all kinds of people trying to get in on that grift, and past a point you gotta do something with the eggs.
