RMS Titanic sank? No one alive today saw it sink. According to Salt's site, iIntercepted memoranda raise doubts about alleged boat's alleged sinking, and alleged engineering and design errors.
I don’t know about you but I’ve been absolutely riveted by the recent release of records from a break-in at the White Star line. No really, it’s not just a stream of bilge from people who may not be experts but reckon something. Frankly I can’t get enough of hearing about the same claim that one memo by one of the workers on the Titanic project clearly confirms the ship was ‘unsinkable’. This should finally put to rest the biggest hoax of the 20th century, that the Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic. Still there’s always someone who isn’t going to find a bit of a memo quoted out-of-context convincing so it’s worth recapping the clear evidence that the ’sinking’ of the Titanic is a scam.
Specifics, with applause by Anthony Watts and Joanne Nova, at Archaeoastronomy. (Well, no, not really; neither Watts nor Nova would link to such a reasonable site as Salt’s.)
So, um, Christine: How do you feel about global warming?
Oh, my God. This is BS. The Titanic sank. End of story. People have gone down to see the wreck — including my UNCLE. Okay? Jeez. This is stupid. And, “Ed Darrell”, the storyline for Titanic was a common genre. It’s called “THINGS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.” Okay? And, actually, there was a Rose DeWitt – Bukater and a Jack Dawson both onboard the Titanic, though it is unlikely they ever met.
THE SHIP SANK. END OF DISCUSSION.
It’s a parody of claims by so-called skeptics of global warming.
Sheesh.
Okay, so basically what you’re saying is that all of history is a lie because nobody is still alive from that time. Correct?
So, Uther, how do you know R.M.S. Titanic sank? Did you see it sink? Huh? Did you?
How do you claim to know it even existed? You didn’t see it being built — the movie was, admitted by the director, a fictional love story.
You may want to see other discussions about your bizarre claim to know about events thousands of miles away and years in the past:
