<<Glad I missed boarding the "Lucitania".>>

Stridinggod, excellent analogy.

The sinking of the Lusitania is indeed similar to the ALLM
ship going down. There were pleanty of warnings in both
situations.

Those who were paying attention and not falling for the false
promises of luxurious lifestyle are the ones who avoided the
perils of both situations.

Don't forget that the Lusitaina was a competitor to the Titanic -
it was run by the Cunard Line. Both ships (Titanic and Lusitania)
were luxury cruise liners!!

And here's the warning:

<<Notice!

Travellers intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.

So anyone reading this board saw many similar notices by smart posters
like Magmar, etc. Too bad that some, but probably not enough, heeded
to those warnings!
