God might be able to, but he was out to lunch when I called him - I'll try again later.

Trouble is with films like Titanic, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbour is they all take liberties with the original subject matter - the creators change facts of history to make for a better story (and to make more money from the disasters/tragedies).

This can be quite revolting at times (step forward, Mr Spielberg), but in some cases (i.e. Titanic), I personally have no problem with it and am happy to be carried along with the romance and action. Of course, none of my family were passengers on that ship when it went down - nor were they in control of driving it, or I may have been more derisive of a film painting, say, my grandfather as an incompetent idiot.
