On the 2nd April 1912 the Titanic set off on its great voyage to America it was on the water for 4 days before hitting an iceberg and sinking 2hours and 40 minutes later. The Titanic was remarkable because, for its time, it was the biggest man-made ship. It had the biggest capacity and the most elaborate cabin areas, surpassing those before it and even its twin sister. It was claimed to be unsinkable, the first ship to ever be able to say this but unfortunately it sunk. It was an important event because so many people died when the ship sank, partly because of the lack of lifeboats, after the sinking no ship was allowed to set sail unless there were enough lifeboats for everyone on the ship.

I believe many people think that there is an air marshal on every flight that leaves a US airport. This is not the case at all. In a report titled Air marshals missing from almost all flights by; Kathleen Johnston and Todd Schwarzschild from CNN. They state that less than 1% of the 28,000 daily flights that take to the friendly skies in America have an air marshal aboard.
