The secret of the Titanic car

What do we know about the titanium? On April 14, 1912, the ship noticed the iceberg too late, broke the side on it and under the composition “Closer, Lord, to you” (the orchestra played it until the last breath) sank, taking about one and a half thousand souls with him. We are interested in another detail: apparently, on board there was the only car in the world that got into an accident with a huge ice floe. But did the car really exist, or is it fiction of filmmakers? What was it brand? Who possessed them and did this person escaped?

On the one hand, it is difficult to get an answer to this question now: the last time the car could be seen 113 years ago, and now its remains lie at a depth of 3.8 kilometers. The pressure in this black abyss reaches 380 kilograms per square centimeter. On the other hand, many documents have been preserved about the ship: this is a list of goods, insurance claims, and many memories. So, pulling one thread, we found a car in the list of cargo, thanks to insurance documents we found its brand and owner, and then … And then a whole drama unfolded before our eyes that no one could expect. Nice viewing! At least you will be surprised by the brand of that same car …

And here is another dramatic historical video, albeit from a completely different era. KrAZ in lead armor from Chernobyl. This is the story of a unique dump truck, which was created to eliminate the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Here you can find out what other “lead” equipment was created by the USSR to work in the alienation zone.

And here is the story of the Soviet all-terrain vehicle of the Avianosa, who could swim no worse than the Titanic-a real “walking castle” could leave for the expanses of the Arctic. How and for what were the union to build the world’s largest all -terrain vehicle? /m

MAZ-537 After 60 years, as appeared, it disappeared and again rose the “racing van” Ford Supervan, not everyone can do the kings. What did the great Bugatti Royale unwel?
