Sounds like this guy wants to be a millionaire.

A Chinese-built Titanic?

Impossible for this to turn out badly.

The only differences will be below the water line, he said, and will include a bulbous bow for greater fuel efficiency and diesel generation, plus an enlarged rudder and bow thrusters for improved manoeuvrability.

Would it be cheeky to suggest extra lifeboats?

Asked whether the new ship could sink, Mr Palmer, Australia's fifth-richest person, said: "Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it."

At least he's not saying God himself couldn't sink it.

There’s already been a Titanic II and it did sink!

“It’s all a bit embarrassing and I got pretty fed up with people asking me if I had hit an iceberg.”
One eye-witness said: “It wasn’t a very big boat - I think an ice-cube could have sunk it!”

As for the new Titanic II I bet the former captain of the Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino, will be hired to pilot her.

The replica of the ill-fated ship will be built at a Chinese shipyard and will sail on its maiden voyage accompanied by the Chinese navy

Chinese Built cruise Ship? Sorry you won't catch me DEAD on it!! If they don't care about lead in furniture... do you think they'll care about SAFTY in a ship???

[TigersEye]

So the Chinese Navy is going to cut loose part of its fleet from the Pacific to sail into the Atlantic, sail into a British port, sail across the North Atlantic and into a port in New York? That should be interesting.
