Titanic: Murdoch Waited 30 Seconds Before Turning. Really ???.
Yes that’s right. A new theory is that Murdoch waited for 30 seconds after the crow’s-nest bell rang 3 times, THEN he ordered hard-a-starboard. Find out more about this theory and why it is not possible.
The Hindenburg, while docking at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, erupted into flames. Of the 36 passengers and 61 crew aboard, 35 people died (plus one ground crew person). This disaster was broadcast live over radio as it happened.
It has been 75 years and the controversies surrounding this disaster continue. My Sunday (12 May 2012) article this week will be on the Hindenburg. Find out more about this amazing air ship, the disaster, and take a look at the plans for this beautiful ship.

I intended to give away an autographed paperback this weekend. I have had one left, and will not be able to get anymore soon. I was asked by another author to donate an autographed book for a family in need. I have been where they are and would not say no. To try and make it up to my readers; I will give away an autographed hardback of Titanic, A Search For Answers and a pre-release, autographed, paperback of my Titanic, The Journey Begins (just as soon as I get copies of these two books in).
I am sorry I didn’t come through as I promised, but I know you understand. I have the greatest readers and you will never know how much I appreciate you.
Thank You,
Bless You,
Joe
