Fatal Collision

It was now 11:30 P.M. The last card games were ending. The last conversations were breaking up. The last everything was happening now. Most of the people were in bed. It was actually quite cold that sunday. It was Sunday, April 14, 1912. More and more people were getting in bed. The captain was in the front looking to see if there was really an iceberg. He was looking with someone else too. "It's clear," he said. But it wasn't clear for Fredrick Fleet. There was something that Fredrick Fleet knew was real. It was something lighter than the night, looming in the distanice. Fredrick Fleet wanted to report this. He picked up his phone, dialed up to the Bridge, and screamed, "Iceberg -- right ahead!" As soon as the bridge was notified, the driver, was turning as fast as he could to get rid of this. But Harold Bridge had also gave seven warning notices to the captain. They were true, the Bridge know knew.

The crew had to work quickly. Jack Phillips, the driver, was still turning away from the iceberg, but the ship was going to fast. No matter what, the ship was going to hit that iceberg. So there was only one thing left to do, was to save the passengers. But then came that CRAAACK, the crack of the ship hitting the iceberg and the ship just carving threw the iceberg. The ship really made it threw the iceberg. Now the ship had only three hours to stay afloat, but it was going to take its might bow.
