Look behind the scenes at "Assault on a Queen," and I'm
sure you'll find Albanians, Bulgarians, and the rest.

"An Even More Rivetting (British spelling) Conspiracy would be to claim that the hull plates were joined improperly." You mean, Why does my knife chop up ice cubes instead of the ice cubes / ice bergs scraping open the Titanic's steel hull??

But water hitting boilers goes boom, and rapidly changing metal temperatures can make things shrink and go boom. Absolutely...just like the WWI vintage film showing a battleship roll over - when the water hit the boilers - BOOM - even worse than a magazine explosion.
I was always told that our gyro shop, conveniently sandwiched between two boiler rooms - would be the best place to be if the ship started to sink in icy waters - we'd be dead from the explosions before we died from exposure.
Just one of many "morale boosting" messages the Boiler Techs used to give us....

Someone told you wrong. Japan Was On Our Side (Allies) in The Great WarSo, that's why Truman fired MacAuthur; he attacked a friendly nation...and forced them to surrender. It all makes sense, now.

Truman wasn't a "player" in the Great War (1914-1918).

Nonsense.
Why would a submarine (in peacetime!) be submerged in the middle of an ice-field ... That early in the century, the boats could only stay down for a few hours at most .. and ran usually on the surface.

German Sub Sank the Titanic! Same thing happened to flight 800.
To: Southack
Why does your knife chop ice cubes, rather than the ther way around?
I hope you're asking retoricly (sp -1)....
...because tens of millions of pounds of 1" thick steel clamped to the side of a twenty-plus knot ship "breaks" tears, rips, and gets shredded thoroughly when hit by hundreds of thousands of tons of motionless iceburg.
Newton had a couple of theories about that that inertia and momemtum and mass, ya know. Hasn't been a ship yet that has sunk an iceburg.
