When Corbyn first stood to become the new Labour leader, after Ed Miliband's pathetic General Election result last year, it was almost like the looks out's seeing the ice-berg too late.
When support for Corbyn grew, it was the Titanic taking far to long to turn to avoid the impending collision.
When Corbyn won, that's when disaster struck, and the Titanic and the iceberg scrapped along side each other.
Since then Labour's sinking is taking far longer than it did for the Titanic to go down, but the motions are still the same.
Currently Labour is at this stage of sinking:
This split in Labour is now far too deep to ever mend, what's been said and done on both sides of the argument are far too personal and nasty to ever stick back together, it's far to late to stick a nicely pictured plaster to heal the rift.
Corbyn doesn't really care though, he'd be glad to see the back of the "moderate" MP's such as Owen Smith, and Angela Eagle, or even Jess Philips.
But what he doesn't realise is that despite the split, as a whole Titanic sank to the bottom of the ocean taking it's captain with it, for treasure hunters, and historians to gaze at every now and then through the darkness.
Labour is heading for the same horrible, but unmissable fate.
Anyone within range, or still on board will go down, naturally, they'll end up landing in different places but as a whole, Labour will sink, and become a tragic story of the past.
How has Labour got to this disastrous stage? Well, it's not all on Corbyn's lack of response to his own ex Shadow Cabinet members.
Before Angela Eagle resigned she had apparently called, emailed and texted the leader, but had had no response at all, she was only his Shadow Foreign Secretary.
His leadership as a whole has been pretty calamitous, his first PLP meeting was, according to one MP, a "fucking shambles."
Losing the vote on Airstrikes over Syria where 60 Labour MPs' voted with the government.
McDonnell's "Mao's little red book" gag......
Anti-semitism within the party, and his failure to deal with it.
The failed campaign to remain in the EU (admittedly not as much of a failure as Cameron's campaign).
These are to name but a few of his own failings, yet of course, he and his supporters will blame the world before they take any responsibility.
