A Shame on POLICE - Law Collage

On november 12th , there was heavy clash between two rival grops of DR.ambedkar law college here in chennai .The students were heavily armed . 4 students are seriously injured and there condition is critical.

The cause for the clash is that the students are of two different communities.during a event some students have designed posters which never had Dr.Ambedkar name in it, which was the intial cause of the whole fight.

On wednesday afternoon when there semester exams are on ,a group of students already assembled with sticks, tubelights and iron rods .

Arumugam and Bharathi kannan of the rival group seeing their assembly , approached them with long knives . when both approached near the group , arumugam and bharathi kannan were trashed that they went unconscious . Yet the Groups rival thirst were not over , they kept beating the unconscious students with long sticks and large stones.

These students are worse than animals , and these guys are going to study law and protect the country , what fate the country will face . These students should be dismissed from there college and put behind bars if the college authorities are humans , if not they they too belong to the same worse than animal race.

And the police ofcourse being their counterpart never found anything unruly , they were more than happy to see the stunt , why is that they are assembled their may be to get a live view of the stunt . shame on the police . out of the four injured , bharathi kannan is too serious and fighting for life. Following these these their is great tension in coimbatore and madurai law college , may be even they want to prove they are also worse than animals.

Titanic - The Royal Streamer

The following is a re-creation of the significant events that took place aboard the Titanic. Although there were many important events on each day of the voyage, I am primarily highlighting the events moments before and directly after the Titanic crashed into the iceberg. All times indicated are "ship time" (i.e. the current time at the location of the Titanic). Many of the times are approximate, but are close enough to give a good chronology of when the events actually took place. Most sources seem to agree however, that the Titanic collided with the iceberg at approximately 11:40 pm and finally sank at 2:20 am.

Chronology of events aboard the Titanic

Wednesday, April 10, 1912
o 12:00 Noon
 The Titanic Leaves Southampton, England on its maiden voyage.
o 07:00 pm
 The Titanic stops at Cherbourg, France.
o 09:00 pm
 The Titanic leaves Cherbourg and sets sail to Queenstown (currently known as Cobh), Ireland.
________________________________________
Thursday, April 11, 1912
o 12:30 pm
 The Titanic arrives in Queenstown, Ireland.
o 02:00 pm
 The Titanic leaves Queenstown and sets sail to New York.
________________________________________
Friday, April 12, 1912 -- Saturday, April 13, 1912
o Fairly uneventful. The weather is good and the sea is calm. The temperature is getting colder. The Titanic receives several wireless messages from other ships reporting ice.
________________________________________
Sunday, April 14, 1912
o 09:00 am
 The Caronia reports ice at Latitude: 42° N and Longitude: 50° W.
o 01:42 pm
 The Baltic reports ice.
o 01:45 pm
 The Amerika reports 2 large icebergs at Latitude: 41° 27' N and Longitude: 50° 08' W. This message was not sent directly to the Titanic, but was suppose to be passed on later when the Titanic came within range of a transmitter.
o 07:15 pm
 Temperature drops to 39 degrees (F). The ice warning from the Baltic is finally posted on the bridge.
o 07:30 pm
 The Californian reports passing 3 large icebergs at Latitude: 42° 03' N and Longitude: 49° 09' W.
o 09:00 pm
 Temperature drops to 33 degrees (F).
 The crow's nest is ordered by Second Officer Lightoller to "keep a sharp lookout for ice".
o 09:20 pm
 Captain Smith retires to his cabin.
o 09:40 pm
 The Mesaba reports pack ice, field ice and icebergs in the location of where the Titanic was traveling. There is no evidence that this message ever reached Captain Smith or Titanic's bridge. Apparently, wireless operator Jack Phillips was so preoccupied with sending messages that had accumulated during the day to the land station at Cape Race, he put the ice warning from Mesaba aside.
o 10:00 pm
 Temperature drops to 32 degrees (F).
 The Titanic was traveling at 22.5 knots.
 The sea is calm, the skies are perfectly clear and the stars appear as brilliant points of light. There is no moon.
 Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee take over lookout duty in the crow's nest. Interestingly, they did not have binoculars.
o 10:50 pm
 The Californian sends a wireless message directly to the Titanic telling them that they were stopped and surrounded by ice. Before the Californian could relay their position (about 20 miles north of Titanic), wireless operator Jack Phillips angrily responded, "Shut up, shut up. You're jamming my signal. I'm busy. I'm working Cape Race". The Californian's wireless operator, Cyril Furmstone Evans, waited patiently and then finally gave up, turned off his equipment and went to bed.
 The ocean water temperature is about 28 degrees (F).
o 11:30 pm
 Lookouts Fleet and Lee notice a low-lying mist ahead, but do not see an iceberg. They probably would have sighted the iceberg if they had been issued binoculars.
o 11:39 pm
 Lookout Frederick Fleet picks up a phone that is directly connected to the bridge. Sixth Officer Moody answers the call and is told, "Iceberg Right Ahead!".
 The bridge immediately sends a "Stop" signal to the engine room. This is followed by "Full Astern".
 Quartermaster Robert Hitchins is urgently ordered to turn the ship "Hard-a-starboard".
 The Titanic turns to the left.....
o 11:40 pm
 Titanic strikes iceberg!
 The Titanic begins to flood.
 First Officer William Murdoch closes the watertight doors.
 Fourth Officer Boxhall arrives on the bridge.
 Captain Smith returns to the bridge after the collision and asks First Officer Murdoch, "What have we struck?". Murdoch confirms that Titanic had struck an iceberg.
 Smith asks Boxhall to inspect the forward area of the hull.
 During the next 15 minutes, Boxhall looks at the damage and discovers that the Orlop deck was flooded forward of the #4 watertight bulkhead.
o 11:45 pm
 Boxhall returns to the bridge and reports his findings.
 Smith asks Boxhall to establish Titanic's position.
 Captain Smith requests that Thomas Andrews and the ship carpenter "sound the ship" (inspect the damage).
Obviously, many events took place after the Titanic hit the iceberg, but I have decided not to include all of the specific details. The purpose of the "Time Line" section is to provide a general chronology of events.

 The International Ice Patrol is formed to guard the shipping lanes from ice.
Its purpose is to patrol the ice regions during the period of greatest iceberg danger (January-September) and attempt to keep the transatlantic lanes clear of ice during the remainder of the year.
Since its creation, no lives have been lost due to collisions with icebergs in the areas monitored by the Ice Patrol.

In 1915
 With only 16 lifeboats and four small collapsible boats for the some 2,228 passengers and crew, the Titanic did not have an adequate number of lifesaving vessels. After the Titanic sank, there was an outcry for stricter rules regarding lifeboats. The LaFollette's Seaman's Act of 1915 stipulated that the number of passengers on a ship, not the gross tonnage, would determine the number of lifeboats necessary.

Significant Dates:

• In 1907, J. Bruce Ismay (President of the White Star Line) and Lord Pirrie (Chairman of Harland & Wolff shipbuilders) dreamed up the idea to build luxurious ocean liners as a way for the White Star Line to compete in the transatlantic passenger market. A total of three ships were planned: The Olympic, Titanic and Gigantic. The next year was spent doing extensive design work.
• On July 30, 1908, authorization was given to build the Titanic and her sister ship the Olympic. In 1911, the order was placed for the third ship Gigantic. When this ship was completed, it was ultimately named the Britannic. Many believe that the name was changed because Gigantic sounded too similar to Titanic.
• The keel for the Titanic was laid on March 31, 1909.
• The Titanic was launched on May 31, 1911 at 12:15 pm.
• The Titanic left Belfast, Ireland and headed for Southampton, England on April 2, 1912.
• Titanic arrives in Southhampton on April 3, 1912.
• The Titanic left Southampton on its maiden voyage on Wednesday, April 10, 1912 at 12:00 Noon.
• The Titanic struck an iceberg on Sunday, April 14, 1912 at 11:40 pm.

Others of Significance
• Quartermaster- Robert Hitchens (survived)
o He was steering Titanic at the time of the accident.

• Lookout- Frederick Fleet (survived)
o He was the first to spot the iceberg. Fleet was in the last half hour of his watch from the crows nest when he saw a massive iceberg no more than 500 yards away. Fleet phoned the bridge and shouted, "Iceberg right ahead!". Fleet was saved in lifeboat #6. He worked at sea until 1936. In his later years, Fleet sold newspapers and spent most nights alone drinking beer. He died in 1965 after taking his own life.

• Managing Director of Harland & Wolff- Thomas Andrews
o Since Andrews helped design Titanic, he undoubtedly knew the most about the Titanic and her construction. He was on the Titanic to observe Titanic's performance and note anything for future design improvements. He assessed the iceberg damage and calculated that the Titanic would probably sink in about 1.5 to 2 hours. Andrews went down with the ship.

• Managing Director of White Star Lines- J Bruce Ismay (survived)
o Although not part of the crew, he may have played a significant role in the Titanic disaster. It is believed that Ismay may have influenced Captain Smith to ignore the ice warnings and steam ahead at full speed. Many are convinced that if Ismay had not been aboard, Captain Smith would have been more cautious and taken the ice warnings more seriously.
o Ismay left the Titanic on collapsible boat C and has been extensively criticized for this. The general feeling was that he should have gone down with the ship. He stated that he only boarded the lifeboat because there were no other passengers waiting to get on board. However, witnesses have reported seeing Ismay push and shove others out of the way to get on that lifeboat. The truth will never be known. Ismay resigned his position in 1912 shortly after the Titanic incident, but remained an executive with IMM (International Mercantile Marine Co -- the owners of the White Star Line) until 1916. He died from a stroke at age 74 in October, 1937.
