Is titanic located in the midnight zone?
The fatal impact occured at 2340 Hrs.- this is twenty minutes to Midnight, or 2400Hrs to use Army-Navy time. As far as I know the Titanic disaster was never used as a plot device on (twilight Zone) it did form the pilot episode of the somewhat related- but it did have a two-man regular cast- and of course, ground-support technicians, etc- The Time Tunnel.

The characters, Rose & Jack were fictional (not-real) developed for the movie Titanic. There were many rumors that circulated after the movie was made about wether or not these characters were real.

However, this tomb-stone is believed to be a ship mate that was lost at sea from the Titanic. There is no evidence to prove otherwise.

That is an excellent question and I would be willing to give you an answer to your question.The "RMS Titanic" was not very old at all when she sank.When she sank she was only 15 days old when she plunged into the sea!Thanks for your question.
The Titanic's hull was launched on May 31, 1911, but was not completely outfitted until March 31, 1912, and the first sea trial was on April 2, 1912.
The ship was on its first transatlantic trip when it sank less than 2 weeks later, on April 15, 1912. So while the hull had 10 1/2 months in the water, the actual ship was brand new.
The Titanic was completed on April 2, 1912, and sank April 15, 1912. The ship had only been completed 13 days prior to sinking.
