I think any big pile of organic material can smolder.
Saw a huge pile of wood chips in the parking lot of a local golf course a few years ago that were smoking.......

Few have. Last census of the only inhabited island of the group had 42 residents. I figured the traffic jams couldn’t be too bad—?

I think Elvis Aron died at birth and Jesse Garon went on to be who we know as Elvis.

Surely you’ve heard the rumor that the Olympic and the Titanic were switched for the insurance money?

Both DeCaprio and Winslet were interrogated and neither of them mentioned a fire on board...

Who said no one was noticing it?
Hundreds of steamers were sunk due to coal fires in their fuel bunkers.
Its not that no one notices, but that there was little that could be done.

Read up a bit before posting!
Putting out to sea was mandatory when a fuel fire was burning.

Bullshit of your own authorship.
The fire is of record, and the firemen survived to tell of it.

I threw that in to stir the pot a little.
The coal locker that was hot did not heat the entire length of hull that was cut. Furthermore, the ice cold water would have kept the temperature of the hull pretty low.
As pointed in numerous postings, the crew knew about that fire and kept it sprayed down with water.

Stupidly misleading click bait headline.
The Fire discussed happened before the ship left the shipyard where she was built.
