It belonged to second officer David Blair, transferred from the ship just before its maiden voyage. But he forgot to hand it to his replacement.
As a result officers had no access to binoculars on the bridge or in the crow’s nest – and 1,517 people perished when the ship hit an iceberg on April 15, 1912.

20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.
A big boat sank and people died, get over it people! Planes crash and no one give a damn.
Whoa, when did this happen? I hope no one was seriously injured ;_;
