Another interesting conspiracy theory says that the Titanic was deliberately sunk to gain insurance money. The titanic insurance scam was about sinking the ship and rescue the passengers but something went wrong in the frozen waters.
Do you believe in this story? If not why?

No, I don't believe they hit an iceberg on purpose. If it happened the way it did in the movie,no I do not think it a scam. By the way, Iloved that movie.

the Titanic disaster which succeeded to kill John Jacob Astor,Benjamin Guggenheim, Isador Strauss, George Dunton Widener who were against the Federal Reserve Bank,does it sound weird that in 1913,1 year to the day of the disaster,the Federal Reserve was implemented.
Google those four names. while you are at it Look up the history of the sister ship, the Olympic.

The Titanic had a sister ship named the Olympic. It got into a major collision with a British war ship. It got into a collision with another ship and the other ship sunk. It threw a propeller off and damaged itself. It even rammed a German sub during World War and sunk the sub. After the war, the Olympic continued to ply the seas on cross Atlantic voyages for the next thirty years. Yet we're supposed to believe that a big chunk of ice sank the Titanic? Give me a break!

Is it a coincidence that the Titanic sunk in water so deep it couldn't (at the time) be examined? With all the places that the Titanic could have sunk, it seems strange that it sank in a place where it was likely that no one would ever see it again. To find a choice place like that which would conceal evidence of foul play would have to be well planned in advance.

The Titanic only had enough lifeboats for half of its passengers and crew. It's as if they were planning to limit the amount of witnesses, isn't it? They spent a zillion dollars to build the Titanic yet we're supposed to believe they couldn't put another thirteen lifeboats on the deck because of a cost cutting measure? Did you see the china that these passengers were eating off of, the glasses they were drinking out of, and? That stuff cost a lot of money. And we're supposed to believe that they couldn't afford a few more cheap-ass lifeboats? I don't buy that. They wanted those people to die. It was part of the titanic insurance scam.

The lack of life boats was not a cost cutting measure. It was so they had more room on the deck for passengers to frolic! In fact the Titanic had more life boats than the legal minimum! We have seen the wreck now and it definately is the Titanic. The promenade deck windows gives it away

iff you look at the wreck of the titanic you can blatantly see the mettle is sticking AWAY from the ship..... also the "iceberg" was randomly placed were no icebergs had been seen for at least 2 months before that..... the bending of the hull shows that the ship was damaged from the inside.... and the amount of damage implies and explosion, so either A) the engines all exploded simultaneously (yeah right) or B) it was intentionally blown up.

we also know that the Olympic had been recently damaged and was a write off.... white star could quite easily have changed the markings to make the Olympic the Titanic.....

i won't find any end to this discussion as both the parties have the perfect arguments to convince anybody.so my question is whether discussion on this topic will benefit us at this current moment to cope up with similar type of situation.

if it is really gonna help then surely we need to continue with minute details of the radius of the tip of the iceberg, diameter of the hull, average age of the people died, affairs of the captain, number of bottles of liquors he consumed that night bla bla bla .....................

if this discussion is not fruitful in any way for current situation then according to me it's shear waste of time.(experts comment invited through pm)

Hu ....ssss......hhhhhh !!!

As an investigator, I have seen alot of different scams being pulled. And this one is entirely plausible. It really comes down to believing that a company cares less about human lives and more about money, like that has never happened before. Harland and Wolfe (the shipbuilders) and White Star Line (the owner/operators) were going broke and they need money. any money. The liner was insured for 5 million by Lloyds but the balance was covered by in house insurance. They had to recoup some loss. They tried and they screwed up.

i think this conspiracy theory seems to be too far stretched. There are various logical reasons for me to not believe in such theories because first of all it was the maiden journey of the ship and why any body would try to sabotage it because no ship owner would want to build a ship just to deliberately crash it just to get the insurance money.
