Without something for scale I can't be sure, but that hole seems rather large. :sneaky:

An angel went back in time and prevented the titanic accident , but that caused fate to get pissed off and start killing all the people in the present and their descendants that should have died .

Idiots, all of you. The ship was built to be unsinkable by anything the Atlantic could throw at her. Don't you think that the ship builders were aware of icebergs and calculated how strong the hull would have to be in order to hit an iceberg? It was an inside job. They lined part of the hull with explosives. If there was a tape of the sinking, after a lot of editing and dubbing, you would be able to clearly hear popping sounds. Many of the survivors reported hearing popping or clinking sounds. link

When they went down and recovered some artifacts on the ocean floor, what they also discovered were traces of nano-thermite. Nano-thermite is what they used to cut through the steel, conveniently flooding the minimum number of bays required to sink the Titanic. You think this number is a coincidence? Note: none of the engineers and men working below deck in the affected areas - who would have been witness to the nanothermite burning through the hull - survived. Again, another convenient coincidence? Or planned. From the link above, all you would need is a 1" wide gap in order to sink the Titanic. This would be simple to perform with nano-thermite. Furthermore, the claim is that what passengers heard popping were rivets - do you really believe that rivets popping is going to be louder than the sound of a collision? Think about it - how hard would you have to drive your car into a wall in order to pop some of the rivets that hold parts of the body on - common sense says that the sound of the collision is going to be orders of magnitude louder than the sound of rivets popping.

Also note: the damage to the hull was conveniently on the exact same part of the hull that is hidden by mud. By studying the hydro-forces acting on the sinking ship, the engineers who designed the sinking calculated the exact location where the hole would have to be, and to have that portion of the ship buried in the mud so that no future investigation would be able to discover the burn marks. The vast majority of large ships capsize when going down - not the Titanic. Again, this was by carefully designing where to put the hole. Here's
a simple, recent example. See? You can see the hole. If you put a hole in an object and let it start sinking, generally the end with the hole in it goes to the top, because the air rushes out of the hole. And, from how far the Titanic sank into the mud, it had to be moving at free fall. They conveniently cut through beams in the middle of the ship, weakening them, so that the air would exit the Titanic as fast as possible, resulting in freefall decent into the deep ocean. Free fall I tell ya!


Note: there's an international agreement NOT to bring up anything again from the debris field of the Titanic. Why is this? Why wouldn't they allow artifacts to be salvaged for museums? Why not give people more of a tangible source by which to remember the Titanic? I'll tell you why - because every time an artifact is brought up, there's a likelihood that there will be traces of the nano-thermite, and that the truth would get out that *our government* sank the Titanic, in cooperation with Israel's government.

/conspiracy nutjob :p :)

edit: I should register the site: titanicwasbroughtdownbythegovernment dot com. And, I should also register a site that pretends to be a peer reviewed journal, and print articles in the journal about how I found nanothermite. :p

As for me, I don't know, I was born after the Titanic went down, so I can't claim to be an eye witness.

But I have healthy skepticism, so I therefore believe, every recorded event in world history must be a nothing but a giant conspiracy theory.

Go ahead, I double dog dare you, prove me wrong. I demand nothing more than birther style proof. As for that un named poster who claimed it was a giant octopus, he is FOS, because was giant Squid instead.

The Titanic disaster will happen again, but said giant squid is still busy eating all the dead bodies. I have made a study of it, said giant squid will finish by 3/7/2018, and then get HUNGRY AGAIN.

You can rely on me because I was not an eyewitness.

Conspiracy my ass. I think you planned it. This is exactly how I remember it happening. I should know, I was there. I found out during past life regression hypnosis therapy.

americans love disasters. eagerly await the next disaster. And chew on conspiracies in between disasters.

History Channel just released newly discovered photos of the titanic before it sank. Shocking!

There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about the Titanic, I am here to set the story straight.

Myth - the Titanic hit an iceberg
Fact - the Titanic was sank by a nazi u-boat that was being piloted by John Kennedy with the intent to pull the US into World War II

If yall have any questions, feel free to ask.


But Titanic had British flag...


Notice how the sister ship Britannic was sank by German mine in 1916
