問題詳情

On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic steamed at a high speed into an ice field in the North Atlantic. The seawas calm and its surface was covered with heavy fog. At 11:40 p.m. a lookout suddenly spotted an iceberg dead ahead.The ship turned sharply and, as it scraped by, was opened up like a tin can with a gash below the water line three hundredfeet long. The captain determined that they were going to sink fast and at 12:15 a.m. ordered his wireless operator to sendthe distress call. Within a few minutes the airwaves were rippling with signals as over a dozen ships became aware of thedisaster. At 1: 20 a.m. the world began to get news of the tragedy.Because of the Titanic tragedy, people came to realize the magical power of wireless telegraphy.

Without wireless technology, the Titanic tragedy would havebeen a different story.
