Oh, for goodness sake.

Let’s blame the companies for all of the ills ever experienced by everyone. At some point, people need to take responsibility for themselves.

If this is about the silly conspiracy theory that the ship was deliberately sunk for the insurance money, I will pass. Some conspiracy theories really are just naked attempts to cash in on the gullible.

Going too damn fast through an ice zone certainly contributed. But the bottom line is that the Titanic sank because it was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having said that, the evacuation was a cluster f*** and a lot of lives could have been saved that were not.

I thought somebody already proved, like 20 years ago, that the rivets were substandard, allowing more damage then would have occurred, that is, allowing water into more compartments than if more of the rivets held?

“Corporate Greed, Not Act of God, Sunk Titanic”

so the name of the iceberg was Corporate Greed? When did they start naming icebergs like typhoons?

Not saying this is true, but I remember reading it was done intentionally so three or four VIP who opposed the federal reserve didn’t survive.

I’ll stick with the theory that first off they used high sulphur steel plates, too brittle in the cold, and that they switch builders plates with the Olympic.

The Managing Director of Harland & Wolff, Thomas Andrews, the chief naval architect for Titanic as well as the man who managed every phase of its construction, was on board the ship when it went down, and was among those lost.

Actually I have read that imperfect, cheap steel or iron was used in the hull of the Titanic.

I thought the Olympic was switched for the Titanic then sunk at sea as an insurance scam.

Supposedly the Olympic was involved in a collision that Lloyd's of London refused to pay for repairs to the Olympic, and it wasn't economically feasible to for White Star to afford the repairs themselves.

Lots of tinfoil conspiracy theories, and the farther away from the time of the event, the easier the theories are to make plausible.

Actually not a new theory. There has been speculation that the steel used in construction was inferior quality and the fire in the coal storage area was not a secret nor was this the only ship to have such a fire. What affect, if any, these may have played I doubt we will ever know.
