Topband: Solar Flare

[K1FZ-Bruce]

There are always nay-sayers  as in recent global warming dialogue.

Good chance back in the spark transmitter days when someone showed up with a tube oscillator, he was told that all the experts agree you must  have to have a spark to transmit.... (;>))

We do not need to run with  closed minds.

>> a well researched TV documentary recently shed brand new light here...apparently they had a nasty coal fire burning in one of the coal bunkers from departure up until the day before the iceberg. It severely warped / weakened one of the walls of the flood compartment walls which happened to be at the exact spot of the iceberg's contact and subsequent ripping of the hull. The plate eventually burst and allowed the next several watertight compartments to flood which made the ship's bow start to tilt. The documentary concluded that if there had been no fire and plate warpage then the ship would have stayed afloat. .they should have never departed while the fire was still burning but after all of the hype and big $ involved, decided to go anyway. The fire info was hushed-up during the official inquiry, I suspect maybe for insurance purposes... fascinating new light.
