Australian billionaire, Clive Palmer is planning to construct a (near exact) replica of the Titanic.  The voyage will be from England to North America in late 2016 and will be accompanied by the Chinese Navy.  Palmer reports Titanic II will have all of the luxuryof the original Titanic.  State-of-the-art21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems will ensure safe travels. The Titanic II will consist of 840 rooms across nine decks and I will not have one of the (even if I could afford it). Palmer was asked if he is concerned the sequel will suffer the same fate as the original. His response was that it will be designed not to sink. Well then, there you go.  I don't mean to be a downer but I can't help but think, "why?" It seems like an unlucky idea to me.  He has the money so I guess he can spend it as he wishes.   Remember the fate of the first Titanic? Enough said.
