@shavixmir saidWajoma is from New Zealand. We refer to them as Kiwis, and they do not rape koalas, they shag sheep.
Go back to raping koalas, you Aussie incel, instead of boring us with your stalking.
Thank you.

@sonhouse saidThere was a YouTube doco that seemed pretty convincing. Lots of weird details. The inquest into the sinking brought up heaps of unanswered questions but the curtains on the whole affair were drawn pretty quickly and any concern was dropped. The Captain's actions seem odd. If you accept that he was tasked with sinking the ship then some of his decisions make sense like charging through the North Atlantic full steam ahead through ice infested water. It's like he was looking for an accident.
@kmax87
So is the gist of it true or not?
I'll see if I can find the clip and share the link.
There's tons of inconsistencies and it's all circumstantial, but it makes a good story.

@kmax87 saidI read up on it. Brilliant!
It's actually a pretty cool conspiracy. The White Star Line built two ships at roughly the same time. The Titanic and her sister ship the Olympia. Long story short, the Olympia got damaged in an accident with HMS Hawke, the cost of repair would have been onerous and repairing it would delay the launch of the Titanic, so they rebadged the Olympia as the Titanic (not very diffic ...[text shortened]... e job and sank to the bottom of blighty, with the Fed becoming an entity a little over a year later.
A couple of problems with the theory though.
Like, a boiler room explosion “accident” whilst in port would have brought about the same insurance as sailing it out into the middle of the Atlantic and risking so many lives.
Also, the interior decoration was seemingly completely different and impossible to switch within a week.
But, it is quite a cool conspiracy!

@shavixmir saidIf you have a moment, watch the YouTube clip. It's pretty compelling. It could still be a bunch of dingoes kidneys but it kind of meets my confirmation bias.

The main problem with the theory is basically the same as with the lunar landing hoax theory,: so many people would have had to have been involved, that it would have leaked.

@kmax87 saidSo the captain of “Titanic” was in on this conspiracy and rammed his own ship into an iceberg and went down with it?

Ya think!
You people are demented fruitloops.

@kmax87 saidHow much did they pay the captain to kill himself?

@divegeester saidIf things had gone to plan the Californian should have arrived in time to pick everyone up. Why was it a mere 17 km away just laying there, but with its boilers still at the ready? The Captain when faced with the reality that the plan had unraveled did the honorable thing and went down with the ship.
