Thea story of how the titanic sank is no longer something new to us, although there is every inclination that most of us has not been given birth to by then,Titanic is argueably the biggest ship ever built in history, unfortunately the ship never lived long for the world to see.

The issues of wealth accumulation is not new to the world,this is something that has been in existence for Avery long time,so many rich people have existed from times ememorial.
There lived a man in the early 20th century,as at this time,this man happens to be the richest man,he has more wealth and notoriety than any other person by then,his name was John Jacob "Jack" Astor iv aka Jack ass ,a nickname the press uses in referring to him.
Jack ass was an american business man, a novelist,an investor, inventor and a colonel during the Spanish american war,as time continues to pass by everyday Jack ass became more famous and wealthy, he was the great grandson of Jacob Astor 1who made his first millions from selling of furs from Canada to wealthy women in the new York city,as a man with focus and determination he invested his money in other businesses buying up vast quantity of real estate around new York in area now known as Manhattan.
On April 1912 Astor decide to cross the Atlantic ocean on RMS titanic.being a prominent and influencial person so he wanted to have fun in his own way .But little did he know that the journey he was about to embark on was a journey of no return, unfortunately for Astor "aka" Jack ass was on board the very day the Titanic went down in the Atlantic ocean he was part of the 1517 people on board who did not survive the sinking titanic as a result of ice berg.if this should happen in this our present generation it will really be insane.Astor as at then worth $85million which is equivalent to $2.3 billions presently.
Just imagine that the richest man in the world like Elon Musk built a space ship that took regular people to space ,then let's assumed he volunteered to be part of the spaceship ,so just picture how crazy it would be if the spaceship that the present world riches man is in got hit by a meteorite and got blewed during the voyage.thats exactly what happened more than a century ago.source
I think the sinking of the titanic is greatest disaster so far in the history of ships that got sanked.
