German Sub Sank the Titanic!

It must be true, because Michael Rivero says it is! It's all a U.S. Navy coverup, I tell you! The evidence went down with the Kursk after a Navy submarine rammed it!

Ted Kennedy sunk it with a Lincoln, or was it a Buick?

[exmarine]

The titanic went down in 1912 - two years before WW I - there is no way that a german sub sunk the titanic. Okay, everyone, don your tin foil hats.

Weikel, I agree with you TOTALLY. The Brits and Americans got suckered into WWI by the Frence, still seething with Gallic envy after Germany's long awaited victory over the French hordes in the Franco-Prussian War.

Jagdwehr, NOBODY in his right mind could possibly believe this idiotic story. Its the most laughable thing I have ever read. Its the sort of rubbish that appears on the front page of Supermarket pulp magazines along with articles like "Woman gives birth to devil", or "Flying saucers planted congressional leaders in the Senate", or "Man sees picture of Christ appear on top of a sausage and anchovy pizza".

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?

A better question is: What are the chances of a 1912 U boat catching and being able to hit,at night, a ship as fast as this one? Answer: almost zero.

Vikingchick,

You are all wrong! No one could have suspected the Spanish Inquisition!

Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! Facts, schmacks.</Homer>

Do you have a browser on that puppy? Hit my site: http://bonefisher.com. There's a stats page that counts by browser type and OS. I have no 'AIX' hits and I'd LOVE at least one.
If not (behind firewall, etc.) that's cool. Thanks.

An Even More Rivetting (British spelling) Conspiracy would be to claim that the hull plates were joined improperly.

[Non-Sequitur]

Forget the U-boat. I think that it was that other paragon of journalistic excellence, the Weekly World News, which printed the story of the skeleton clad in KKK robes found wearing a Titanic lifering. Has anyone looked into the possibility that the NAACP was involved?

I would love it if that were true. Look at all the Freepers who believe there's a face on Mars. I won't even begin to list the other theories the tin hat crowd believes in.

[wcbtinman]

This sounds like a Clive Cussler novel. And just as fictional.

[Lee Enfield]

McKinny and Mcauliff said it was Bush who ordered the sinking to benefit his friends in the ice maker industry.

"rapidly changing metal temperatures can make things shrink"

Amen brother.

[BlueLancer]

I happen to know that it was piracy gone wrong. Stop and think about all of the rich people who were on the TITANIC and what a haul you would make by pillaging it.

The Sinatra movie was just slightly modified to protect the Germans.

The titanic went down in 1912 - two years before WW I - there is no way that a german sub sunk the titanic. UBoats were on patrol from at least 1906 and in 1912 they might have been practicing for WWI.

Frank Sinatra, Virna Lisi, Tony Franciosa.

U-boats, Italians and Germans, World War II Axis.

COINCIDENCE ?????????????
