Would the damage have been lessened?* Just how culpable were J.

Stanley Lord of the nearby steamship Californian, accused of failing to respond to the Titanic's summonses for help?* What were Capt. Smith's final moments?* Was there a "third ship" besides the Californian in the area, capable of executing an early rescue operation?* What was on the mind of wireless operator Jack Phillips when, during the last minutes at his post, he transmitted the enigmatic signal "V"—and repeated it?

When you do, your life becomes truly magical and there's nothing you can't generate.What are the infinite possibilities?What else is possible?"Magic is all around us, it's something we all generate. What would it take to think differently about the universe, the consciousness and oneness that we all are and the magic that is an intrinsic part of it?"--Gary M.
