Witness to Tragedy
They had paid a fortune for this trip, but they knew it was worth it. They were about to witness one of the most tragic and iconic events in history: the sinking of the Titanic.
They boarded the submarine, a hulking, antiquated-looking vessel that could travel through time and space. They were greeted by their guide, a cheerful and charismatic man who wore a vintage suit and a bowler hat.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Time Tours. I'm your host, Mr. Williams, and I'll be taking you on a journey to the past. Please, make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the ride."
The submarine submerged and activated its time engine. A screen showed the date and time: April 14, 1912, 11:40 p.m. The submarine emerged near the Titanic, a majestic and colossal ship that glowed with lights and elegance.
"Wow, look at that!" one of the tourists exclaimed. "It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, indeed. The Titanic was the largest and most luxurious ship of its time. It carried over 2,000 passengers and crew, including some of the richest and most famous people in the world. It was also considered unsinkable, but we all know how that turned out."
The tourists gasped as they saw a huge iceberg looming ahead of the Titanic. They knew what was about to happen, but they couldn't take their eyes off the ship.
Then it came. The moment of impact. The tourists watched closely as the Titanic struck the iceberg and sealed its fate. . .
[Note: Many stories use time travel to witness the wonders and horrors of history. A few examples are "Vintage Season" by C.L. Moore and Henry Kuttner, "Up the Line" by Robert Silverberg, and "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury (my favorite - where a hunter travels to the Jurassic era, accidentally kills a butterfly and changes the course of history.)]
