The Twins Who Survived The Sinking Of The Titanic
On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic would blindly ram into an iceberg and begin to sink. Plenty of children passengers would lose their parents in the tragedy. The French twins, Edmond and Michel Navratil managed to safely escape the wreck by boarding the final lifeboat to hit the oceans, called the Collapsible D. Their father was informed that he would not be allowed to join them onboard the lifeboat after he valiantly escorted them aboard. The twins would end up safely back with their mother, who had not boarded the ill-fated Titanic. Her late husband had originally intended to secret the children away to America!
Leo Tolstoy’s Parting Message
Leo Tolstoy is pictured here at his late age. At the time, he was well-aware that he did not have much time left on Earth, and wished to impart the most important wisdom that he had gained during his many years. Love was the most sacred and pertinent thing to the great man, which he wished as many people as possible to hold dearly. Pneumonia took the writer when he was 82 years old. The common folk would swarm his funeral procession, with the police doing their best to hold them back. His parting message detailed how essential love is to a person’s life, and how he realized that this was one thing that mattered the most above all else.
