This is suppose to be something related to the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.

They have been talking on the History International channel saying that they don't think it was all because of the iceberg that the Titanic sinked. They think there was something else that caused it to sink. It might have been an engine failure or something.

Was it really all because of the iceberg?

Jews sank the Titanic. The man behind the whole thing was a Jew called Eisberg.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me... Now the Titanic is turning into a conspiracy theory?
The fact, up to this point, hasn't been logically argued that it was caused solely, if not at least in large part, by the iceberg.

Who cares, anyway? Happened almost a hundred years ago.

There was a gigantic hole ripped in the starboard side of the ship. And remnants of the iceburg were found in the side of the ship.

Shut the fuck up.

I'm not saying that I don't care that they died, but they died almost a hundred years ago. I don't think their families miss them any more.
Either way, yes, it was a tragedy, blah blah blah...

Lies all lies! There were explosives placed in the hull to make it look like it hit an iceberg.

It was an iceberg. I'm pretty sure if it was anything else, researchers would have noticed something a long time ago. But it wasn't. It was a gigantic hole ripped on the hull that allowed water to gush in and slowly but surely fill up the entire ship. It's like pouring water into an ice cube maker. You pour in one square and once that fills up it starts to flow into the other squares. Now just imagine that on a one mile long ship. It's not that hard to imagine.

It HAD to be Jews who sank it. I mean how do you explain the fact that 99% of all of today's Titanic expeditioners are Jews? I don't actually have any statistics to prove it, but anyone who goes scavenging an old shipwreck in search of gold has to be a Jew, amirite?

Conspiracy theories are stupid.

Survivors told there was an iceberg. Sure, we can't know if they all agreed to tell that, since the last survivor just died, and there is very little physical proof about what went down, but Occams Motherfucking Razor, people.

Why would they lie about that? I mean, I could understand the ship company might, because they wouldn't want to advertise their ships having faulty engines, but that wouldn't explain why all the survivors would fake testimonies.

The Titanic was a titanic piece of shit. If they gave it a proper rudder they would have been able to steer around the ice berg. Also it didn't have enough life boats. They should have named it "Pending Disaster" or "Titanic Failure" as that's exactly what it was.

The captain of the ship knew about the iceberg before he crashed into it.
I'm not saying he provoked it the crash, but he did nothing to stop it.

There's a difference between a hole created from the outside and one created from the inside.

And once again, why would the passangers lie about it?

No, I mean they found GIGANTIC 4 FOOT THICK PIECES OF FUCKING ICE STILL IN THE COMPARTMENTS YEARS LATER WHEN THEY FOUND THE SHIP.

The survivors even said it was an iceburg, so unless white star lines threatened to kill each and every one of their families I think they're telling the truth.

It wasn't a iceberg. A huge underwater sea monster was angry one day and decided to punch a hole into the nearest thing it saw floating, thus sinking the ship.

what kind of rudders existed in 1912 that let you steer around an iceberg? especially if the rudder is supposed to steer a giant, metal turd like the titanic?

Plenty! The Titanic designers just made a serious error when they put an under sized rudder on the Titanic. It was 1912, not 1492, and they had rudders in 1492 dummy. By 1912 they could make a proper rudder, they just didn't for some reason. So basically when they went to turn the ship, it didn't turn at all, it just kept going straight for the most part. They saw the iceberg, they ordered the turn, they tried to turn, but it just didn't turn because they were going too fast.
