The oldest iceberg


Titanic disaster and one of the most famous disasters that occurred in the early twentieth century, the ship was an architectural masterpiece designed against drowning, and if it sinks on its maiden voyage and shipwreck tragedy sad in itself, but who has doubled the level of grief and the size of the tragedy is selfish passengers wealthy people who have made the ride lifeboats priority for them, and then they made the boat separated from the ship, carrying half of its cargo only, because they hated that the boats are overcrowded and go through a little suffering.

One of the things that have not been talked about at length in the documentary programs that talked about the disaster is the iceberg that sank the ship does not sink, Grant Beige professor at the University of Sheffield intends to shed light on the fatal Titanic.

Mr. Grant says this glacier was a length of 122 meters, and weighs 1.5 million tons, the moment of collision with a ship of the Titanic, and it was originally a mountain huge heavier than 75 million tons, with a length of 518 meters, and it is formed from snow that falls on the ground before 100 thousand years.

Mr. Grant's research indicates that the glacier was melting gradually before the disaster, and it moved from its original location off the south west coast of the island of Greenland until he reached the scene of the disaster in 1912.

Conclusions Mr. Grant was based on the observations that have been recorded at the time of the iceberg and the ship and ocean currents, as well as meteorological readings for the year 1912, and through which the knowledge of wind currents that prevailed over the Atlantic Ocean, all that information and data entered into the program computerized simulation, enabling the program to determine the origin of the mountain, and where it came from specifications.
