Right okay yeah sure euro fag those were put up all around the same time in the 1920's and 1960's to celebrate states rights as fought for by the brave generals who seceded and fought and died and surrendered. Maybe read about Andrew Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy who said, in his famous "Cornerstone Speech":
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. "

Yea keep trying to whitewash your racist past AND present. You know full well why they put up those statues. To oppress blacks. No other reason at all.

Come to the Nuclear History Museum in Albuquerque New Mexico and take the tour to Trinity site. Get to see a prototype of gadget, the car they drove the worlds largest resource of plutonium, and if you get lucky you can steal some trinitite from the blast site (federal offence but easy trust me).

It is highly illegal to remove anything from the Trinity site and they do NOT sell anything there. All they have is the assembly room and remnants of the tower.
It is open twice a year and attracts 1000s. Don't be so butthurt we actually get shit done on this side of the pond. You can check out our space program while you visit. How many moon rocks you got in your hometown??

I'm a sucker for the Titanic stuff. I could talk about her and her sisters all day long.
>>743047071
What a coincidence.
I could do your sister all day too.
>>743047071
Do you think bulkheads with ceilings would have prevented it from sinking?
>>743048569
Not really.
The problem with Titanic was the amount of compartments ripped open. With five compartments breached and flooding at a rate that the pumps could not keep up with, she lost too much of her buoyancy and the weight of the water pulled her down. Even with the bulkheads capped off, the water's weight would have pulled her down and once her superstructure was going under then the water had unobstructed access in.
>>743048992
Would it have reduced the number of casualties? The main thing I was thinking of was the speed at which it sank and part of it lifting up, but it seems like the flooding would have been better controlled.
>>743034287
What is that? A V2 Rocket?
>>743049484
Capped bulkheads would have meant it would have taken longer for her to sink but I don't think it would have changed the outcome or death toll very much.
Most people aboard her just didn't believe she was sinking, until the water was on the boatdeck and she was really being pulled down quickly (By that point it was about 15 minutes before she was gone entirely). Her staying afloat longer overall wouldn't have changed that.
It was during that small window of time that people finally started rushing to try to get into the few remaining lifeboats.
When people finally realized "Oh shit, I need to get off this ship" it was too late.
So in this hypothetical where she has capped bulkheads, unless she stays afloat long enough for the Carpathia to arrive, which I cannot guarantee, then the outcome is exactly the same. For most of the sinking she goes down slowly, people on her don't notice the danger, she sinks far enough down for water to get in through non-watertight decks, once that happens- and when passengers realize the danger- she goes down quickly.
>>743049929
That's the buzz bomb
>>743047071
That shit; that entire damn thing, is still resting somewhere far away from where anyone can reach.
It creeps me the fuck out. I'll be doing something and then suddenly remember, "The titanic is still somewhere" and freak out.
>>743050420
Unfortunately, she won't be forever. The wreck will eventually collapse and rust away to dust and the only reminders will be the bronze propellers.
Though there's some talks of using some kind of coating to preserve the wreck for longer. Not exactly sure how that process would work.

no its a Vergeltungswaffe (V) 1. The only thing which is more terrifying not to hear it than hearing it, because the distance was measured by fuel. and when it ran out of fuel its engine stopped and it went silent and whent down and the next thing you hear is BOOOM
