Titanic's sister ship, Britannic, the largest ship lost during WW1

Titanic's sister ship, Britannic, the largest ship lost during WW1. Wreck site today at a depth of only 390 feet.
Britannic was the youngest of the three White Star Lines ‘Olympic’ class of steamships, behind Titanic and Olympic. Designed to be an Atlantic liner, there was an urgent need during the First World War for hospital ships, and it was converted for service in the Mediterranean. Repainted white with large red crosses and a horizontal green stripe, she was renamed HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Britannic. At 8:12am on November 21st of 1916, while steaming in the Aegean Sea, Britannic struck a German mine and sank in only 55 minutes. 30 people lost their lives, but unlike Titanic, the majority (1,035 people) survived the sinking. Britannic was the largest ship lost in the First World War. The massive size of the ship, combined with the shallow water she sank in (400 feet/122 m), means the vessel is one of the largest intact passenger ship wrecks in the world.

SO Sad! Transgender Woman Pleads For Life Before Mob Beat Her To Death A video footage has revealed that a transgender woman, who was dragged from her home and dumped in a wheelbarrow before being rolled away, begged for her life moments before she was beaten to death amid cheers and laughter. 42-year-old Dandara dos Santos, was kicked, punched and hit with shoes and a plank of wood in front of residents in Fortaleza, Ceara state, Brazil. The person behind the camera who spoke in portuguese was heard saying; "they will kill the gay". Dandara's attackers also made cruel taunts about her hormone-therapy induced Bosom , hurling homophobic insults at her. The February 15th incident, which has long sparked an online outrage in the LGBT community, is alleged to be the 5th transgender murder recorded in Brazil last month. The footage which has gone viral, also helped the police who are still investigating the murder case, in identifying 6 persons. According to MirrorUK, between ...
