Bob CollinsIf the Titanic should run into trouble tonight, Twitter is going to be all over it.

The Twitter account Real Time History, which has fewer than 700 followers at last check, is currently documenting the last hours of the Titanic in real time. Spoiler alert: It struck an iceberg 104 years ago today. It sank the next morning, taking 1,500 passengers and crew members with it.
#Titanic Phillips ignores Mesaba's warning. And continues to work sending passengers telegrams.
