In the beginning of the early 1900’s transatlantic passenger service had been a lucrative business and shipping companies were competing against each other to see who would build the biggest and fastest ship. Two such shipping rivals were Cunnard and White Star. By 1912, the White Star, a British shipping company, exceeded everyone’s expectations with their new ocean liner, the RMS Titanic. It was not
With a lot of work, their determination finally paid off. On the night of April 17, 1906, crowds of the wealthier people of the population of San Francisco, assembled at the Grand Opera House on Mission Street to hear the Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso, perform. On this evening the weather was unusually balmy, and a reporter standing outside the Opera House noticed that the horses stabled nearby were unusually restless. However, people were more focused on the entertainment of the evening. The streets were filled with horse drawn carriages and automobiles, all arriving for a night to remember.
But was he really responsible for the sinking? Captain Smith was told that the titanic could take on anything, whether it was a tiny thunder storm, or an iceberg 50-100 feet high, and possibly 400 feet long. Bruce Ismay was the White Star Line director. When titanic sank, it was said to be because of a flaw in the ship, which was under Bruce’s responsibility. Because of this, the titanic would have stayed in one piece, and would have stayed afloat for at least another 3 hours.

Several immigrants did not even make the journey over due to disease and lack of supplies on the ships which ultimately led to death.

Expanding Overseas Trade Zheng He and his expedition exemplified the highest level of ancient Chinese propriety in terms of foreign trade, said Wang Tianyou. Zheng’s voyage stimulated and inspired the development of overseas trade. In recent years, scholars have estimated the total number of people who traveled to the oceans during Zheng’s seven expeditions exceeded 100,000. The journeys had a double-edged effect as those who traveled and returned brought back their positive experiences from other nations and helped to positively influence the lives of a great number of people, especially those living in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.
According to IATA in 2012 more than 2.97 billion people travelled by air with a mere 414 people being involved in accident in which they lost their lives. This equates to 29.6 million flights and 15 of those being involved in an accident where there were fatalities (International Air Transport Association 2013). While these odds sound pretty good it is not acceptable to become complacent around safety, even one crash is one too many in the eyes of the industry. Models such as the Reason model or ‘Swiss Cheese model’ have been adopted to investigate incidents and accidents to ensure the correct gaps are filled and the right corrective actions are put in place to prevent re occurrence. This commitment to safety has provided a very safe way to travel, yet some people seem nervous to travel by air.
