"111-Year-Old Man Born in Titanic Year Becomes World's Oldest"
TL;DR
John Alfred Tinniswood, an 111-year-old great-grandfather in England, has become the world's oldest person after the death of the previous record holder. Born in 1912, the same year the Titanic sank, Tinniswood attributes his longevity to "pure luck" and advises younger generations to always give their best effort. He worked in accounts for Shell and BP until his retirement, and now resides in a Southport retirement home, where he is known as "a big chatterbox."
