Twins with different engines - Caronia and Carmania They are cousins of Lusitania, Mauretania and Aquitania

These two were built as an experiment - which type of engines is better? Carmania proved that the steam turbines are, so Lusitania and Mauretania will have them in future

Caronia was the one of those who sent an ice warning to Titanic, but Titanic preffered to ignore the Cunarder, just like she was taught

Carmania once met her own doppelganger... During WW1 a German auxiliary cruiser disguised as Carmania and wanted to ambush British vessels but the first ship they met was the real Carmania, who then sank them!

I BEG YOU DRAW SMS CAP TRAFALGAR DRESSED AS HER

My red flag is i deliberetly watch a video about a plain crash and then get upset that the plane crashed.

All the little shipwreck memorials on Wplace bring me so much joy. Humans are so silly😭

Theres an alternate universe where the Citicorp building collapsed but 9/11 never happened

I’m convinced it was an interdimensional portal

Oooh, I know this one! The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration - they make the rules for flying here in the US) has designated “roads” in the sky to keep all the commercial jets from running into each other. When you’re headed the same direction at the same speed, you don’t get in each other’s way. If you’re heading east you fly at one elevation, and west-bound planes fly at a different height. There are lots of rules to keep mid-air crashes to a minimum.

However, if you’re running late, or weather in one spot is bad, you can call up Air Traffic Control and ask for a new route! And they will look at their little radar screens and maps of all the airplanes in the area, and tell you what shortcut you can take.

I am a little bit overcome by this. We made actual imaginary tunnels in the sky so our giant metal birds can fly through the open air in the most organized, polite way possible. We check in over our designated long distance thought projection machine channel that anyone can listen in on but we all promise not to interrupt to get permission to swap imaginary sky tunnels. We come up with the weirdest impossible shit and immediately give it boundaries! Humans are ridiculous. I mean yes these are good rules and many many people would die if we didnt have them, a+ on these rules, but if you take a step back wanting to sunder every natural limitation we can find and then going ahead and building our own so nothing gets too messy is a fucking hilarious art for a species to compulsively pursue.

It is extremely important that you all understand that we didn't pursue it compulsively. We have never pursued it compulsively. We were forced to pursue it by the mangling of bodies and metal over our heads as planes flew into each other.

Humans are not built to see and predict hurling planes, tiny among a vast sky. People knew this. Pilots had close calls. Those with the right amount of caution told anyone who would listen about how it is possible to not see another plane until after it hit you, and maybe we should do something about it. And we still had "see and avoid, otherwise feel free to have fun with it" flight rules until it killed people.

It used to be normal for flights to swing and circle around a bit at a whim to give passengers a better view or whatever. So normal that what eventually happened was inevitable, predictable, and it still had to actually happen before humanity learned.

We built those imaginary sky tunnels out of lives.

We could've built them with foresight and caution instead. But most people neglect, ignore, and dismiss very unlikely things as if they can't happen, instead of systematically making them actually unable to happen.

Mind that cognetic opening or the next thing will need lives to build too.

"It used to be normal for flights to swing and circle around a bit at a whim to give passengers a better view or whatever. So normal that what eventually happened was inevitable, predictable, and it still had to actually happen before humanity learned."

BOAC Flight 911, Air New Zealand Flight 901

Then there are the mid-air collisions:

1956 Grand Canyon mid-air collision, 1960 New York mid-air collision

One of the reasons I love air disaster podcasts (as opposed to, say, true crime) is the way many of them focus on "what did this incident do to make flying safer for us all in the future." That 1956 crash? It led to funding for Air Traffic Controllers and giving them military-grade radar systems. A 1958 collision between a civilian and a military airplane led to the FAA being given control over all US airways--civilian and military.

The rules are written in lives. May they be enough this time.

WHAT DO YOU MAEN THEY JUST LOOK LIKE THATTT

I love the difference between shipwrecks and plane crashes because wdym

When a plane crashes: 99% of cases - did the pilot forget to turn on a vital system during the pre-flight check? Well, its ok, there is a system that should prevent such an error, but it just so happened that on this day the system did not work. But that's fine aswell, because if the pilot notices it, they will prevent error. BUT as fate may have it it was precisely on this day that the pilot did not get enough sleep. But this is also fine, because if the co-pilot notices, then nothing will happen. Unfourtinately, the co-pilot was a novice and because of the authority of the captain, they did not dare to speak up about his suspicion. And it just so happened that the weather was bad aswell. That's why the plane crashed.

When a ship sinks, most of the time its:

Captain: Nah, its fineee, we'll squeeze in. Oh, didnt see this fucker, turn around, TURN AROWN... ah, shit, it hit, didnt it? Well, fuck.

#well #not like ALL the time #most ship captains do an amazing job actually #but like #khem #costa concordia #khem-khem #el faro #khem khem #i wont say its a causation but it is a correlation #its sus but it kidda makes sence

I'm obsessed with taking oceanliners from the 1910s-20s and making their dazzle paint schemes from the 1st World War Trans fall colored. It just pwetty

BEAUTIFULLLL

The ocean liner Normandie lies heavily tilting at Pier 88, at 49th Street, on February 10, 1945, after a massive fire broke out aboard the former French Line ship. Seized by the U.S. government, the Normandie was in New York for refittings for military duty and was about to start its service as the USS Lafayette troop carrier when the fire broke out. Due to the pressure of being top-heavy from the fire-fighting water, the ship snapped her mooring lines and capsized.
