Titanic (spaceship): Difference between revisions

In the [[Donna's World|alternate timeline]] orchestrated by the [[time beetle]], the Doctor, having died a year earlier, was not present to stop the ''Titanic'' from crashing to Earth in the heart of London. Although the resulting nuclear explosion did not wipe out all life on Earth, it decimated southern England, almost instantly transforming the nation into a third-world country. This led to a series of events that resulted in it becoming a police state. This timeline was negated when [[Donna Noble]] restored the timeline, preventing the Doctor's premature death. ([[TV]]: ''[[Turn Left]]'')

* The idea that the owner and captain of the ''Titanic'' so much as inadvertently contributed to its sinking is also espoused in the 1998 hit film ''Titanic'', which showed the ocean liner's sinking. In the film, White Star Line owner Bruce Ismay is shown pressuring captain Edward Smith into speeding up the maiden voyage, which eventually makes the iceberg harder to dodge. Ismay was also roundly criticized in the press in real life as a coward, especially after the sinking.

* Though not a steamship like its namesake, the spaceship ''Titanic'' also takes after it by having a similar outward appearance, particularly in its upper decks and its four funnels despite having no steam to vent.
