A provocative thesis. Historically strong tides earlier in 1912 may have freed up icebergs grounded in shallow water, including the one that eventually struck the doomed ocean liner.

Only if it happened during Obama’s second, third, forth or fifth term and the ship was American and built long after Bush left office.

Yes, the moon did sink it. Claims the night were moonless are wrong. It was either in waxing or waning crescent. That’s the only way it could cut the hull.

Anyone that has ever listened to the “Legend of the Titanic” by Jamie Brockett knows what really happened.

Did the Moon Sink the Titanic?I suppose it's a step up from blaming George Bush...

BS. The Titanic hit the iceberg for one simple reason that has already been documented. The Captain was trying to set a speed record and refused to slow down in iceberg infested waters, simple as that. Moon, tide, black magic nor voodoo chants had anything to do with it. The reckless behavior of the Captain was partly due to the fact that the ship was supposed to be unsinkable, however it had a huge flaw in the design that actually contributed to its going under and those were the reasons it sank. Not tides, black magic, voodoo chants nor bad luck sank the Titanic, total disregard for safety did the job.

Everybody knows it was George Bush’s fault the Titanic sank...he used Dick Cheney’s time machine. Bush was also responsible for causing the sinking of the Lusitania, the Great Depression and the attack on Pearl Harbor. (sarcasm)

Failure to post a lookout for icebergs (or failure of a lookout to pay attention) sank the Titanic.
