Distress Call

It was reported that the Titanic’s distress call was intercepted by Artie Moore from 3,000 miles away. Moore was a Welsh wireless radio operator. Equipped with his home-made radio equipment, he has picked up the Titanic’s distress signals. He then relayed the messages to the locals but none believed him. Two days later, news of the Titanic’s demise made it to Wales and he was vindicated. Moreover, according to reports, a general warning was never sounded, causing the number of passengers and even crew members to be unaware of the danger for some time. Today, advances in communication technology would probably make distress calls faster to intercept for a swift rescue.
