What do you think would have happened?

would the world be any different?

i have no idea... the world probably wouldn't have had the grief of losing the titanic, but by now it would probably just like any other 'unsinkable' ship

nothing would have changed... but they wouldn't make a movie out of it..... it's my fave movie..

Hmm, that's a great question to ponder on. As said above people wouldn't have to suffer the lost of losing others or the Titanic. I have to think more about this.

there would probably be more people in the world?

Maybe, and they might make a movie on it..

Its just like weird to think like what would ahve happened..

auk-weird. Never thought about it...

Well...

I know they wouldn't have made a movie about it, they wouldn't have it in history books, we wouldn't learn about it in school, people wouldn't go looking for it, and there wouldn't be any TV specials about it :D

So I guess it would change the world... somewhat, anyway.

I think there would stil be movies,an in the books and shows...but jsut about how it was the biggest ship..

I guess it wouldnt be a dramatic change..

Well, the world wouldn't have had to mourn over all the losses of their loved ones. Just like 9/11, what would the world be like if that didn't happen? The towers would still be standing, and people wouldn't have to mourn over their losses..

if the titanic didn't sink then the #1 most money making movie would be The lord of the ring.

Titanic didn't make the most money...


ON-TOPIC: The world would hardly change... Just less people dead.

Then there would not be this thread.. =).

OOO Adventure smart!

Nothing wouldv'e changed. It would just be another massive ship crossing the atlantic. But since it did sink, it had a major impact on society.

I'm thinking that if the Titanic never sunk, it probably would have continued it's voyages across the Atlantic. It might become something like the Queen Mary, sail for so long, then become a hotel/museum.

People learned a lesson from the Titanic's mistakes. Oh yeah, and Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn't be as famous as he is now.

They might of still made a movie..but not a sad love story..xD more of a..HAPPY love story.

Everything would be the same. The boy who fell in love with someone is still alive. But his girlfriend died

Lot's would have changed if you ask me. First of all, the ship would be just like a regular ship, crossing the atlantic. No big deal. There would not be this big stuff about it, and if you ask me lot's of kids would not know about it because it would not have been a big deal. A lot of people would not have died. I would not have gone to a Titanic exhibit. << Lol. Oh at the Titanic thing I went to, each person was given a card that had a person who was on the ship and I got a lady in first class with a son and husband. Whats strange is that when I was reading a titanic book my "sons" name was mentioned! And "mine". It was really creepy, since I'm a big Titanic fan.

There would be more people. The movie wouldn't be here.. and wow its just quite different without it sinking.

if the titanic didn't sink...
my greatgreatgreatuncle (greatgreatgrandpa's brother) would still be alive
history books would be different
the world wouldn't fret over icebergs as much
the world population would be a little bit larger
there would be no titanic movie
people wouldn't be risking their lives by going down to the bottom of the sea to search and investigate the titanic
etc, etc, etc...

im sure theres more, but my brain hurts.

What do you think would have happened?

would the world be any different?

Im guessing we would have a tad bit more ice berg out there, there might be more people (because some of the people on their might have had kids), there obviously wouldnt be as many specials on the titanic (still some since it was so big) we wouldnt have a titanic movie most likely and the titanic would have sailed into its destination.

The ship that everyone claimed to be unsinkable would live up to its name.
:mickbar:DisneyRoxie

Of course it would be =) History would be forever changed. Possibly, cruise liners like the Titanic would not have been improved even up to this day, and Woods Hole reasearch center would not be as popular [ their camera, ALVIN helped find the Titanic ]

titanic..titanic..nope, doesn't ring a bell.

if the titanic didn't sink then the #1 most money making movie would be The lord of the ring.

it used to be the most expensive. but it got the most oscars tied with Ben-Hur

The actors in the movies would be less richer, so would the director and other staff members, more people in the world, no giref about the titanic, and maybe some modern versions of the titanic instead of the old thing...

If it didn't sink maybe the goverment wouldn't change some parts of the titanic which would of made it sink (as if it was unsinkable @_@)

I think many things would of changed/happened if the TITANIC hadn't sinked!

Well.. If the Titanic didn't sink, then the people who have died on that ship would have grown into a bigger generation due to newly weds or even expected mothers. The population would grow by a small percent. Also, if the ship didn't sink, the Titanic would probably make big headlines on their journey through the Atlantic Ocean and everyone would think that the saying about it not being sinkable would be true to some people. Anyways, Titanic the movie wouldn't have the same appearance with Romance about the sinking ship. That would change the whole movie if that didn't happen!

Well I would have never gone to the museum exibit . . .

EvilFlavor, you are right, there would be one less movie.

A lot of people wouldn't have jobs.

Think about it. After the Titanic sunk, they started to change the safety issues, especially nowadays. All the people who helped and worked to make the ships safe for us wouldn't have had jobs until another ship sunk, or something of a matter happened.

The researchers that dove deep down into the ocean to find the ship. The people who made the probe [idontknowwhatitscalled] to go down wouldn't have jobs. The film and book writers wouldn't have jobs, the actors and publishers, etc etc.

The musem designers/owners/workers/etc wouldn't have jobs..

It's a big chain type thing.

Yeah, a huge impact it would have. Dx As well as any other tradegies- ie 9/11, any big wars, etc etc.

yeah Green is right. all of those things would have changed.. :( and the movie........ :(

just wondering, what is the big deal with Titanic lately? There was another thread about the Titanic yesterday......

I have a list I thought of.
1. There would be more people.
2. There wouldn't be a movie.
3. There would be no museums.
4. We would not have this thread.
5. People wouldn't think about ice burgs and I guess it would happen to alot of ships..

Thats all I could think of right now.

Nothing would be different. It would just be another cruise ship that succesfully got to their destination.. >_<

Obviously back when the Titanic sunk the people would not have died if it didn't sink and the Titanic wouldn't have sunk either. Besides that, i don't think there would be anything different.

We would never have had Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", and we all know we love that song. ;D

The world wouldn't be very different if it hadn't sunk... but heres a thought.
What would North America had been attacked by the Brittish(sp?) and succesfully taken over by them???

Well we all know that i would be a very, very, very happy girl.:)

Unless my mom hadn't had to move here... Then my mom and dad would have never met... And i might not have been born... and i would never had met my best friend...
Great i think i might end up in panic mode...:@@:

If the Titanic didn't sink...
Being as obsessed as i am, i've kinda thought about this alot. I think that her sinking almost needed to happen. a 'true good to be true' type thing. Titanic not sinking...It just doesn't sound right... I can't really explain it. If she didn't sink, probably not much would change, i dont think, except all those hundreds and thousands of authors that wrote stories about this legendary ship probably would have found something different to write about; perhaps the Empress (i think it was empress, coulda been emerald or some other e-starting word) of Ireland, which sank somewhere around the time of Titanic, in only fifteen minutes. The thing that makes Titanic so fascinating is the way she sunk. Probably not many people would care about her after her first voyage; she would go on until the White Star Line decided to retire her...Yeah...More immigrants would be in America maybe? lol..

I agree with Magazine.

As I said before, I wouldn't have gone to the exibit that they had on it and Robert D. Ballard (The guy who found it's remains) wouldn't be as rich as he is today : D

There would be alot of pages missing from history books.

Okay, let me explain my point of view on this. If the Titanic didn't ever end up sinking, I don't think it would have much of an effect on today as only a thousand or so people died which is nothing compared to the billions of people that live on this planet. Plus, you really can't use IF because it probably happened for a reason and who knows, maybe there would have been a more serious incident if the ship actually got to America (Maybe there was a killer on that ship).

You can't really say if in this situation, it happened, it happened a long time ago, and it is just a piece of history. It is almost like saying, what if we didn't have a Revolutionary War? You just can't, it happened.

1 less ship in the sea

Then there wouldn't be all this "Titanic" stuff. Just a successful ship that made it from 1 place to another. It would act like, let's say, a Carnival ship.

More people in the world.
It could've existed today.
But another question, what could be another way it sinks?

If the Titanic did not sink, it would bear no significant effect on our society today.

This is a great question, so many possibilities.

If it didn't sink, there wouldn't be a movie, and there would be probably another movie with the same plot, but the ship wouldn't be called the Titanic.

There would be more people in the world, and those people may have kids, and those kids, and those kids would have kids, and.. so on, and some of those people may become movie stars, and new movies would emerge...

... And maybe some of those kids would go bad, and different major events would happen...

If it didn't sink, some people wouldn't be depressed, and their life would go differently...


Endless possibilities, each tiny change leads to a different change, which causes a bigger change.

LOL who knows how the world would be now if it didn't sink...

If it didnt sink, then my favorite movie would be The Simpsons Movie

people that are afraid to go on a ship wouldn't be.

My dad would have never started the model he has which he didn't finish.
