And a WE®, but because he's a youth pastor I'll cut him some slack.

ATA might be dicey on this one - the NYC audience might have chosen B just because. Having read "A Night to Remember" and several other books about the Titanic helped me with this one.

There was a fairly popular movie on the subject a few years ago. Perhaps a few people in the audience saw that...

True, but I've never seen the movie so I couldn't know whether NYC was mentioned as the destination or not. It would make sense, but movies don't always make sense.

You've never seen the movie?

Gosh, ear, go to the library and see if they've got it on DVD. Elwing will enjoy the love story, while you wait around for the iceberg.
