NY Times article on Titanic's rivets

by "Paul Roberge" <p.roberge~nospam~@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 15, 2008 at 09:59 PM

I know that rivet issue has been massively discussed,
but here's an item that appeared in todays New York
Times:

"In Weak Rivets, a Possible Key to Titanic's Doom"
by William J. Broad, published in the New York
Times on April 15, 2008.  Go here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/15/science/15titanic.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin

Here's the gist of the article: "The builder's own archives, two
scientists 
say, harbor evidence of a deadly mix of low quality rivets and lofty 
ambition as the builder labored to construct the three biggest ****ps in
the 
world at once - the Titanic and two sisters, the Olympic and the
Britannic."

"The researchers make their case, and detail their archive findings, in 
"What Really Sank the Titanic" (Citadel Press)."  The authors are Jennifer

Hooper McCarty and
Timothy Foecke.
