[@csjrogerson2377]

Sinking and rolling over might have the same result, but they are caused by vastly different events. One is a buoyancy issue the other is a stability issue. The stability issue may have sod all to do with water ingress.

The Titanic was pretty well-engineered for the time, she was just unlucky. Had she hit anything less big and solid than an iceberg, she might well have survived, and even with the iceberg, she stayed up far longer than her designer expected. If you want to see what Titanic's safety systems looked like when they worked, her sister Olympic hit a lot of things including a cruiser and a submarine (still the only merchant vessel to sink a submarine, although she was a troop transport at the time) while staying afloat.

I have no idea what that means, but then again I'm not the one designing war/ships for any country.

I'll defer to those who _do_ understand that terminology, and derive a good chuckle from your remarks nonetheless.

[@slip6699]

More likely a failure of basic watch standing and proper water tight settings for hatches, valves and billage pumps. That flooding took hours to happen. Even purposely filling all tanks one on side might not do it. Most ships can take a lot of flooding if the main spaces are held water tight.

[@kurtwicklund8901]

FatFrankie: in short it means a ship is quite top-heavy so it can capsize easily when it rolls side to side.

If you look at the discoloration where the ship was sitting in the water, it is clearly top heavy. The hull would need to be much lower in the water to stably support the superstructure.

From what I've read, the vast majority of Iranian people are beautiful, tolerant, and loving people. Israeli citizens used to get along with them, and Iran was a popular vacation destination. I would love to visit the country for these very reasons if it wasn't for the fact it was controlled by Orcs from Mordor.

[@SebHaarfagre]

@@jacko4483 USSR invaded Iran during WWII (along with Britain). Unlike the British, they never left when they were supposed to, and they also exploited their "annexation" in the North and starved hundreds of thousands of people and further exploited the locals. Today, they're probably being told that Russia is "great friends" and that the British are imperialists. (GB ended colonialism, which had existed for thousands of years, speaking of...) But I digress (I'm a Norwegian)

[@SebHaarfagre]

Oh my initial point of commenting was to mention some nice areas around the southern end of the Caspian Sea (Mazandaran). Persia _WAS_ a gateway to the far East, but it's lost its role in that way. Zoroastrianism originated in the approximate area too, and it had (has) strong Hellenic cultural influence in many parts - it really was a nation of many cultures and histories. Today, radical Islamism (I'm of no religion at all personally, not atheism either) (and moderate Islamism probably would not have had this effect:) ruined much or all of this. Zoroastrians was also purged under radical Islamists. The former quite univocally being a more peaceful and synergetic religion, but again I digress

[@willek1335]

​​​​​@@EllieMaes-Grandad i agree that's definitely how their leadership wants people to think it is, and perhaps the people as well. An Iranian gov poll of religious diversity show that 99% ascribe to the government's religious view, but a poll by nongov, based in Netherlands, show the population is extremely diverse in their personal views. (On a tangent, this mirror my own visit when it comes to the consumption of alcohol, back in Tehran in 06'. Smuggling, making and drinking was ok as long as you did so behind closed walls and windows.) The government knew they could do nothing about it. To me, it seems like the idea of not losing face is of such importance in Asia as a whole, that to admit the truth must be trampled under all reason. This is further echoed when you ask any of their text books to describe the darker parts of their own history. If you want me to dig up the name of the poll, I'll get right to it. (Also Norwegian)
