ELI5: Why is the sinking of the Titanic such a big deal in pop culture?
gpt
It was the biggest, most luxurious ship ever built at the time, was billed as unsinkable, and then it literally sunk in its maiden voyage. So the prominence of the ship, the hubris of its builders (didn't even have enough life boats, because why would unsinkable ship need them?), the size of the victim count as well as the famous/wealthy on board because of the prominence of ship on its first voyage.
