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?

Something went wrong? Yeah, I can tell you what went wrong... THEY HIT AN ICEBERG.

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.

I know this has nothing to do with this thread, but I just loved the movie, all the romance, I have seen it about five times.

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.
