For that single act it should be preserved in an iceberg museum for everyone to look at and worship.

The comments under it are way to funny... talking about how the iceberg would have sunk if hit by a boat.... Are people really that stupid....

I thought they found it along side some of the bodies after the sinking.

It's history now I suppose but I wonder what would have happened to the Titanic had the captain just steered it straight into the berg, most likely it would have survived the impact, gets repaired and maybe gets sunk by the germans like it's sister ship.

Not a chance. It would have ramped off at a great velocity, twisting sideways as it soars over the backside of the iceburg. The rear part of the boat would explode in a fiery outburst of metal and splintered wood. After a full barrel roll, the Titanic crashes back into the frigid waters; KSHRAWWWW!! Then in a last ditch effort, the iceberg takes one final punishing blow and crushes what's remaining of the Titanic. The precious "Heart of the Ocean" necklace is lost forever. Throw in a couple recycled highway chase scenes and call it good.

I think this begs the questions: will it be brought to justice?

Is anyone looking for a second iceberg with a grassy knoll on it?

Don't forget that we would get a cute but slightly stupid Captain, screaming in terror as he tried to jam the All Spark into the engine.

And instead of the band paying classical music as it sailed over the ice berg in slow motion it would be Kid and Play singing back ground vocals while Vanilla Ice rapped "Ice Ice Baby"

I am surpised with global warming that the parts of the iceberg which had paint on it hadnt melted off in almost 100 years.

We can't find the real killers behind the O.J and Casey Anthony case, but we can find a god damn Iceberg in the middle of the ocean?!

Well the iceberg is white and sexless so the police don't have to worry about gender bias or race bias in the jury.

This is a good start, but I won't feel safe until we find the cow that started the Great Chicago Fire.

We need to round up some suspects and really grill them. There's a lot at steak.

All of you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!! How can you live with yourself saying that they should just blow up the iceberg with TNT? You obviously have no consideration for the environment and the polar bears. Don't you realize you are destroying an animals home by blowing up such a structure? And why blow it up? For vengeance? It shows what a redneck, backwards society we really live in. Global warming is a 100% proven, scientific fact. As sure as gravity and God, global warming will melt the iceberg naturally over a period of time and justice will be served. Let the environment take it's natural course and don't try to change the course of the earths natural life cycle. What happened to the Titanic was unfortunate, but there's no reason why human beings should take the matter into their own hands. As a life-long member of PETA, I beg you to reconsider your viewpoints on this matter. And Green Text.

This Is That is a current affairs program that doesn't just talk about the issues, it fabricates them. Nothing's off limits--politics, business, culture, justice, science, religion--if it's relevant to Canadians, we'll find out the "This" and the "That" of the story.
Each week, hosts Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring introduce you to the voices and stories that give this country character in this 100% improvised satirical send-up of public radio.
I suppose the improvisation can account for the lack of funny.
