The first comment in the comments section:

There is a growing consensus that Titanic was not destroyed by an iceberg but was sunk by a mystery gunboat. Witnesses on other ships have stated that they saw a powerful dark ship in the area where Titanic finally sank. Why would anybody do such a thing? Well, many have theorised that a large delegation of bankers opposed to the Federal Reserve were onboard the titanic enroute to the US to actively oppose the greatest evil ever founded to make war upon mankind. sounds about right to me.

Titanic Truthers.

Daily Mail stories always seem to be a good read. Well written and they tell you just what you want to know.

There is always a conspiracy theory. John Astor was one of those who died in the sinking of the Titanic. It has been said that he was leader of a group of banker types that were concerned about the Federal Reserve’s power and was going back to the States to talk about dismantling the Fed.

“this photograph shows an iceberg in the distance - perhaps even the one that sank the luxury liner “

This was a fast, rogue iceberg calved by ... global warming. When will mankind wake up and smell the coffee?

I’m calling bs.

This was long before the “media age” of instant cameras and what not. Cameras were heavy pieces of equipment. Explain to me how a couple fled for their lives, exhausted from a night of rowing, listening to a night of screaming, sobbing and dying, finally being rescued and their thought was:

“Look, honey! A Kodak moment! Let’s get a picture!”

How exactly were they able to flee without damaging the camera and the film? Then to be developed clearly back when photo development methods were expensive and rudimentary compared to today’s methods? And then it somehow stays hidden for 99 years?

I’m not buying it. It’s photoshopped or a total hoax.

I think the truthers are right on this. The Titanic was hit by a missile, with rumors of nearby navy vessels. A recent FOIA picture just released, while not proof, is pretty damn close...

That is definitely a UFO - of that there is little doubt.

But what is that big red thing in the sky?

More than likely it was insurance fraud

Which photo(s) are you referring to?

The first two are the only ones that I have never seen and were taken by someone safely on one of the rescue ships, a crew member with a camera I assume.

I recall an interview on some documentary about the Titanic. The woman was a very young child at the time, but recalled that her grandmother told the family it was doomed to sink after they bragged it was unsinkable.

God will not be mocked.

Probably someone with a cell phone.

Devastating stuff.

There’s really little to add, but you will note that they have also suppressed the knowledge of how many left-handed people were aboard, and the differential survival rates of righties and lefties.

Just ask yourself who would have the power to do that, and all becomes clear.

Also note that the Bilderbergers are never mentioned. Coincidence? Of course not.

Explosion, fuel vapors, center tank - get with the program already.

I thought everybody knew that’s how the Titanic really bought it.
