Titanic is being used to mean that something was headed for doom and big lost of life before ppl would see changes that would come come one day.
Cameron calls the earth the next Titanic (The rich will survive and the common person will perish) but he doesn't need to mean that the earth will hit an iceberg or sink 3 miles but there would be catastrophic lost of life.
the news was initially calling this Ferry accident just like the Titanic because it was initially thought it struck a rock much like an iceberg but a rock that doesn't melt nor move but remained hidden from view from a racing ship driven by an inexperience 3rd mate ... then later it turns out it was about loose cargo and a whole can of worms ... Titanic company was never convicted of liability or crime but the ferry company going to disappear into history
The Ferry was about the tragic lost of a lot of lives ... thus 260/470(56%) died is close to the Titanic s 1500/2224(68%)
Titanic was also about ignoring evolving safety protocols for such large vessels of its kind ... well this Korean company is evolving to prove how negligent they are to ppl safety. But this ship is much smaller than Titanic
I wonder if the Japanese company ever told this company that this ship sinks on certain conditions?? I bet the Koreans won't buy this ship ever again. OK almost every one of white star ship sunk except the QE1.
Titanic was also about not using all of its safety equipment ... the Life boats ... in this ferry accident barely one life boat was deployed but no one was on it, the news never talks about who was on the boat ... on titanic 20/20 were used but barely 1/2 filled to capacity.
This ferry accident was about the tragic lost of life
children lives 253/300 (85%) ... teachers ?? (85%) crew 7/29 (25%) ... on titanic 56/112 (50%) children ... Adults 65% ... crew 703/918 (77%)
Can we say the costa concordia was like Titanic ... well it did strike a rock and it was about a captain that was trying to win a bet or show off but there wasn't much of a lost of life and we're lucky that 1/2 lifeboats was used and other forms of help got ppl off the sinking ship.

Korean captain and crew abandon's ship in their underwear to confuse the coast guard of the difference between passenger and crew. Korean Coast Guard is outraged and embarrassed but they never noticed the crew wore the same colored styled underwear??
