冶金学家花了十年时间仔细研究了泰坦尼克沉船的船体，提出这样一个观点：这艘深海巨轮在撞冰后迅速沉没是和造船厂使用了不合格铆钉分不开的，铆钉头的崩落使得冰冷海水瞬时涌入以至逾1500人罹难。

The immediate affect of the massive plate housing Europe and Russia and the Near East to move is felt most strongly in India, as the Himalayas are driven over India at this point, effectively sumerging this country in a wink.

承载欧洲和俄罗斯以及近东的巨大的板块运动所带来的当即后果，在印度感觉是最强烈的，因为喜马拉雅山在这一位置冲到了印度之上，有效地在眨眼间使该国沉没。
