    I can’t be the only idiot who didn’t realize the Titanic went down that close to Maine/Newfoundland. I’m 38 years old and never once even thought about where they actually sank.

      Yeah I felt a little dumb seeing that. I swear I must have known that at some point. Won’t forget it this time though :S

      Around the same age and this was my main takeaway from all this as well. One of my parents was watching the BBC with their coverage of it and I saw the map yesterday and was like wow, was it really that close? What was I doing in school?
