.....and thousands of people will have a relative who went down with The Titanic. Agree that £250k and your life were damn silly things to risk for a trip to view The Titanic - but the loss of The Titanic is something which has fascinated Britain for more than a century. Why, I believe someone...
Exactly. And is it any more 'voyeurism' than walking round and looking, say, at the war graves in Flanders?
Still a damn silly and needless way to die though.
Not my nature now either - but the point still stands. All of us take, or have taken, risks, even if it was just as kids or teens we pushed boundaries to find out what we could get away with. It's just the degree of risk-taking that varies.
