    Default The Titanic never sank.

    Was listening to a podcast as I motored along Autobahns 61, 3, 1, 565, 43 and maybe another couple roads, about 180 miles each way to a wedding. Neat thing, 180 miles = 2hrs 15 minutes. Lots of 80.7 mph (equivalent) speed limits - through those I cruised at about 87mph in those zones.

    Anywho - the podcast spoke to the titanic and its "sinking"


    The crux of the thing:

    RMS Olympic crashed - at fault - into a military ship causing extensive damage. 20 Oct 1910. 20 Sep 1911, HMS Hawke. Same captain as the Titanic. Took two weeks to make the Olympic seaworthy. By November it was back in service but lost a propeller blade - delaying Titanic's launching.

    So - With the the help of the builders they avoided expensive repairs to the Olympic by doing BS patchwork repairs, re-naming it Titanic and then purposely scuttling it mid-cruise. By staging the sinking they could take their insurance money. With numerous ships nearby - some of them unreasonably located near by - like one which was coal-powered (somehow find coal during a coal strike) and it was sort of just chillin' there waiting...with NO passengers but about 3000 wool blankets and sweaters and such as cargo.

    Anywho - i found it fascinating - especially the image comparisons between the two ships.

    At the end of the longer of those you can see what seems to be clearly faked images showing "M" and "P".

    here's one (of many) YT Vids

    Very interesting stuff. I've always been intrigued with the Titanic sinking but I've never heard this. Best I heard was that there had been a fire burning in the coal storage since before they left port, which wasn't uncommon, but it was so intense that it had not only weakened the ships hull but it had also warped it. But the Titanic was switched with the Olympic? Incredible, especially the pictures of the actual ship laying at the bottom of the Atlantic.

    But check out what we see here in America when we click on your last link... that's pretty interesting too. Looks like someone has something to hide...

    Wow... I'm being blocked from seeing that youtube video in America, and you're being blocked from viewing simple links from a common American image hosting website... https://imgbb.com/

    I think Marvin Bush was behind the insurance scam.
