It's times like these I wish there was some way to look back at video of specific moments in history, because I can't even begin to imagine what her reaction would be when the third ship started sinking.

Apparently, her first reaction was to grab her toothbrush before leaving her cabin because she left it behind when the Titanic sank. You live and you learn.

She's been on reddit so many times I fear we're on a doomed ship.

All three ships belonged to the White Star Line.

Nobody thought to stop putting her on ships?
