Just in time for Sunday's CBS Movie of The Week

     It is a coincidence, I think, but a court has approved the cutting into the Titanic wreckage to retrieve the teletype that sent out distress messages. 

The Washington Post reports the story, just in time for the movie "Titanic" starring Leonardo DiCaprio to be broadcast Sunday night on CBS.

"A federal judge in Virginia approved the expedition Monday, calling it “a unique opportunity to recover an artifact that will contribute to the legacy left by the indelible loss of the Titanic.”

Because of a backlog of personal messages, the wireless operators had ignored ice warnings from other ships. Banal good-wishes soon gave way to increasingly desperate calls for help. Operator Jack Phillips died after refusing to leave his flooded post."
