|
|
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? |

| Oh, say it ain't so !!! I don't believe too many conspiracy theories, although some I must admit have 'some' merit. I doubt this one don't you? |

| I think their plan is steering the Titanic hit the iceberg .But hatchers underestimated the dangers and they overestimated their ability to rescue the passengers. |

Don't forget that the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats to save everyone in the first place. And I'm sure it was a huge accident, unless this happened.
Mr X: Yes, is that Mr Y? I need you to put a giant iceberg in the Titanics established path, and hope that the captain tries to avoid it and ends up tearing all the hulls in the process. There is a nice $500,000 in it for you if we claim the insurance, we never talked.
Mr Y: Where the heck am I gonna get a giant iceberg? Hello? Hello?
I'm still saying it was a huge accident, insurance fraud is quite rampant, but the titanic insurance scam sinking a 50,000 ton ship thats estimated at a cost of $7,500,000 to build? You're better off not building the ship.
Keep in mind, that that was $7,500,000, 1912 dollars. Roughly .4 billion by todays numbers.

Mr Y: Hi Mr. E I hear you have an iceberg available.
Mr E: Yes I do it is of a nice size. I will sell it to you and transport it to any location you want for $250,000
Mr Y: How about if you transport it halfway and I transport it the other half and we say $175,000
Mr E: I can probably do that but I want $200,000
Mr Y: Alright $200,000 it is, can you drop it off at this location for me, and I will pick it up.
Mr E: Sure but isn't that in a shipping lane
Mr Y: No that just outside of it. It will be safe.
Mr E: Done I will get it there for ya. |

| 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
