Was the sinking of the Titanic planned?

🂿 · August 30, 2015, 06:27:48 PM

Or better yet, was that the Titanic that actually sank and not actually the Olympic?

YouTube

This video says it was, but I'm calling bullshit on it.

Apparently the Titanic was sunk for insurance money for White Star Line and a recuse was suppose to be staged.

What do you think? Would something like that even be considered possible back then?

Discuss this conspiracy theory.

For real though, Titanic believers are the dumbest of the dumb

get a piece and metal and start scratching it with an ice cube, nothing happens

The video does make it seem believable, but I'd have to read up on it from other sources and do a little research before believing it. Although admittedly, I do want to believe it.

RomanGladiator · August 30, 2015, 07:58:17 PM

Hollywood planned it so they could rake in the revenue from a major blockbuster 85 years later starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

There is a reason why I posted the debunk link in the OP. All theories of it being the Olympic have been proven false it seems, but I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

he wouldn't be proving you wrong, though, because you've proven nothing.

Are you telling me that this isn't proof of the Titanic being under water with it's letters showing? Because it is. It's the actual fucking ship itself. If you say otherwise, I'm sorry but you didn't study your history well enough and you're an idiot for it.
