RMS Titanic in popular culture
In the 2010 video game "Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors", the main characters were all put onto a sinking ship by a mysterious person named Zero. In their introduction, Zero references the "Titanic"s sinking in the line "On April 14, 1912... the famous ocean liner "Titanic" crashed into an iceberg. After remaining afloat for 2 hours and 40 minutes, it sank beneath the waters of the North Atlantic. I will give you more time. 9 hours is the amount of time you will be given to escape." It is later discovered that the "ship" they are on is a replica of one of "Titanic"s sister ships, the Gigantic. In real life, "Gigantic" was rumored to have been the original name of the HMHS "Britannic", which was one of the "Titanic"s sister ships.
Ocean liner
Some ocean liners are infamous today because of their sinking with great loss of lives. In 1873, struck an underwater rock and sank off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, killing at least 535 people. In 1912, the sinking of the RMS "Titanic", which took approximately 1,500 lives, highlighted the overconfidence of the shipping companies in their ships, such as the failure to put enough lifeboats on board. Safety measures at sea were reexamined following the incident. Two years later, in 1914, sank in the Saint Lawrence River after colliding with another ship. 1,012 people died.
