Hmm... Might even be plausible, coming from a different source...

Elvis was driving the sub that night, took too many reds, and didn't have a TV to shoot.
(They will discover these details, eventually.)

"When questioned by a U.S. Senate inquiry panel, severalTitanic crew members and passengers testified that they heardexplosions deep in the bowels of the ship AFTER it hadhit the iceberg," says noted Titanic historian Daniel Cherry.The key word here is 'after' hitting the iceberg. Torpedoes
do not have delay timers. But water hitting boilers goes
boom, and rapidly changing metal temperatures can
make things shrink and go boom.

NO!
This man did while sneaking up from behind with a very dull but determined "weapon", and the hydraulics did that ship in...

The German sub included a Sears mini-refrigerator ... working in 3 8-hour shifts, the crew of the submarine placed ice cubes all over the sub ... working quickly, they covered the sub with 300,000 tons of ice ... amazingly the sub was able to not only stay upright, but catch up with and pass the Titanic, stopping silently ahead of her ... the Titanic was carrying 1,974,253 bagels to New York and the Kaiser, inventor of the now famous "Kaiser roll" feared the competition ... later it was proven that the Mossad and the OSS, even though they didn't exist, had plotted the whole thing ...
Seriously, the Titanic had a coal fire in her belly which had been burning long before she left Southampton ... also, the boilers were round and would have rolled through the ever-steeper tilting ship ... add in the 29 degree F water (salt water has a lower freezing point) and you've got the potential for wild steam explosions too ... though the power stayed on for a long time from the batteries and no doubt from some generators ...

Does that paper say Hitler is still alive and living in Paraguay?

BS this just sounds like a continuation of the all Germans are evil crap. If Germany won WWI the Soviet Union would have been destroyed immediately ending communim, monarchy as opposed to socialist Democracy would be the predominate government of Europe, Hitler would have never risen, the Arabs would never have gotten independent states. History would in short have been much better.

But Leo DiCaprio, James Cameron and the girl who played the easy slut on the Titanic told me it was an iceberg....
To: All
Uh...question. Were the Germans operating U-boats in the North Atlantic in 1912? If so, why would they feel the need to sink passenger/commerce shipping two years prior to the start of WWI?
I may be a little fuzzy on my history here.
To: vikingchick
The first 16 World War I UBoats were launched before the Titanic sailed, so it had to be one of those.
