It's funny, you hear so much conflicting information these days with the Titanic. I've heard everything ranging from "she's going to completely collapse imminently and will be a pile of unrecognizable rust within decades" to "we overestimated how much she's degrading and while some recognizable landmarks have collapsed or disappeared, her superstructure is still sound and will probably remain so for the foreseeable future".

I have a terrible fear of shipwrecks. I can't overstate how much they bother me. I've had recurring dreams of shipwrecks since I was a child (often the Titanic itself). But I always watch new Titanic footage...I don't know why, it's just a compulsion at this point. Fascinating seeing so much footage of the Titanic in the best condition we've seen her in since her sinking. I hate it...but also, fascinating.
