Australia billionaire to launch "unsinkable" Titanic


CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian billionaire announced plans on Monday to build an "unsinkable" version of the Titanic, 100 years after the original sank after hitting an iceberg.

Titanic II is expected to make its maiden voyage from England to North America, the old Titanic route, in late 2016.

"It is going to be designed so it won't sink," mining and tourism tycoon Clive Palmer told reporters. "It will be designed as a modern ship with all the technology to ensure that doesn't happen."

The original Titanic, the largest liner in world when it was launched and dubbed "virtually unsinkable" at the time, sank after hitting an iceberg on April 15, 1912, killing 1,517 passengers and crew.

1. There's a fine line between genius and idiocy..

This idea is certainly skirting that line one way or the other..

2. Imagine the Fear Factor attraction.

LOL! People will go to a restaurant that sells heart attack burgers. Why not charge double for the virgin voyage of Titanic 2?
