Last Titanic survivor dies!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/8070095.stm

Summary
The last survivor of the Titanic died last week. Millvina Dean, who was only nine weeks when the Titanic sank, says it has shaped her for the rest of her life. When the Titanic sank Millvina’s father died. When the arrived in America they almost immediately returned to England. Only her father died on the Titanic. She went back to Southampton and from there travelled the whole world to tell her story about the Titanic. She never stopped telling because she liked it so much.

Reaction
I think the reason for such a big article is, because she was the last survivor of the Titanic. We all know that the Titanic was build in the UK. She was born in England and the English people are proud to have had her around. She says she likes to travel around the world. I think she really loved to tell her side of the story because of her father. Now she died it is getting clear that the collision with the Titanic is really long ago. Every survivor died and no one is able to continue telling the story. All we have left now are Leo and Kate.
