Nikola Tesla sunk it with his death ray because they were called Marconi operators...

The intricacies of cause and effect are well beyond total comprehension, unless you are God.

No, it was manmade Climate change! Those satanic mills in Birmingham, Manchester, and Wales were the culprits.

At that time, “freaky” was not in usage. They would have used the English word, “freakish.”

So without a solar storm maybe they would have run into a different berg? The reasoning here is Dr Who stuff, silly.

“Did a solar flare sink the Titanic? Study suggests space weather may have been responsible for tragedy”

Preposterous! Everyone knows it was space aliens that sunk the Titanic ... either that or Murder Hornets ...

Sunk by the Deep State.

for multiple reasons

1. to get rid of the opponents (Jacob Astor, Isidor Straus, and Benjamin Guggenheim) to creating the Fed.

2. Insurance scam.

probably some other reasons as well.

Here are a few links (pro and con) with multiple theories on the topic (I’m not vouching for any of them in particular, just putting them out so you can read and decide for yourself) :

Perhaps the most interesting recent issue is the battle over the telegraph and why. Some believe it will offer important evidence about the sinking. Some believe there are those with nefarious reasons to prevent its recovery.

A basic understanding of radio might help. First—I think spark gap radios were used. Now when I get on the HF Radio I have a hard time reaching someone close versus someone further away—its called skip. Waves bounce along the water, land, etc—someone else might be able to describe it further but that is the gist. So ships close by would not hear a distress call, but ships further away would hear it... And as for atmospherics—yup, happens all the time in radio nothing msyterious about it...

Occam’s razor. Between the mirage and the weakened hull from the coal fire in her hold - plus the haste which made her speed - the ship was doomed.

Case closed. Any other factors merely magnified the tragedy, including the shortage of life boats.

My Grandfather (Maternal) was a early Radio Operater in SW Ohio and was one of many that heard the SOS from the Titanic but nobody would take the Message seriously when He tried to pass it on.

I still have some Antenna drawings and assorted letters from and too various Radio Stations and Networks across America.

I have read a lot of the titanic over my life - it has always fascinated me.

I found a forum (encyclopedia-titanic.org’s forums) with some extremely well-informed posters. there are threads there dating back 10+ years but they are just as useful today as then.

there are plenty of testimony items (lifeboat conversations between hitchens, fleet, and another, for example) indicating something was seriously amiss which was ignored in the hearings and official story.

lightoller’s gd says it was a tiller/rudder order issue, but says other issues were covered up by arrangement on the carpathia and won’t say which.

hitchen’s ggd says murdoch was passed out (alcohol) and that is why fleet wasn’t answered, - no officer present. she published a book on this topic. taken in the context of things multiple witnesses reported hitchens asking on the lifeboats, it makes some sense.

murdoch did kill himself upon release from duty immediately.

it is a fascinating topic.
