Hi Peter, On the Titanic comments, I read somewhere, two things contributed to the sinking....

As you said, The Coal bunkers were on fire, but I read they were on fire in the Port,
but they didn't want to delay a record breaking crossing and thought, they could put the fire out at sea....

But as for calling the ship Unsinkable was asking for trouble, Calling anything Unbreakable means
its bound to break sooner or later

As for Haggard, I think the quote "I reject your version of reality, and insert my own" about right
(quote, Jamie of Mythbusters)

But why Haggard attacks anyone who questions his "research" is strange, It seems to be "I'm right, Your wrong"
despite people who were actually there, saying to the contrary... very cranky, good as reading The Beano
