I misstated. The program last Saturday was on the HIstory Channel,

the Discovery Channel. Here's the blurb: "Titanic's Final Moments:
Missing Pieces. Further analysis." Missing pieces indeed. It was two
hours long.


That was my show. It just goes to show you can't please all of the people
all of the time. The negative comments on this highest rated History
Channel show in their history have been quite rare. You must not have
watched it very closely if you think it was about the ship grounding on the
iceberg. We went out to investigate some reported pieces that might have
pointed to that possibility but the theory evaporated pretty quickly when
they turned out to be a ventilator trunk. We then documented some really
interesting stuff that hadn't been looked at closely before. That led to a
new theory mentioned at the end. Investigating that theory and its
implications is the subject of the show to air this spring.
