Onida chiropractor Oscar "Doc" Hedman survived the sinking of the ocean liner Titanic today in 1912, but Langford native Ole Olson drowned. Titanic was the largest passenger ship in the world and was considered unsinkable. But the ship struck an iceberg on its voyage from England to New York City, and after nearly three hours sank into the icy Atlantic Ocean, killing over 1,500 people.
