There’s an article in National Geographic about the sinking of the Titanic one hundred years ago today. There’s been a big blockbuster movie and all sorts of fanfare and media attention. I’m willing to bet that on May 7, 2015, one hundred years from the sinking of the Lusitania and about three years from now, there will be hardly a mention of that ship disaster.
How can I account for this? It’s easy! People would rather forget it and pretend that it never happened, especially the British who would never come clean about the manifest and the mysterious second explosion aboard the ship.
