I’ve been stuck in a Wikipedia hole all day about the sinking of the RMS Titanic

at least billy zane made it off

The story of the guy who wrote and published the story years before "predicting" the sinking of a massive ocean liner named titan. In the Atlantic after hitting an ice berg and sinking on its maiden voyage

He had dreamed this happened and I think was so shook when he woke up he immediately wrote the story.


Then it happened IRL.

sigh.. and we lost LucasP for this, it ain't rusting underwater, baw

Each year more than 20 million people take a trip on a cruise ship and return safely. While most of these voyages are in the Caribbean many ships also traverse the Baltic, Bering and North Seas as well as the Gulf of Alaska.

When's the last time you heard of one hitting an iceberg let alone SINKING from one?

But we're supposed to believe that some 1,517 people died aboard the Titanic after it struck an ice berg?

COMMON SENSE CHECK: Take an ice cube and throw it at your car, did it cut the steel? Of course not! Because scientifically speaking, ice is only frozen water!




If ice can't cut steel then the story as we've been told it has to be thrown out.

Here's what we know for sure.

- Titanic had two sister ships; Olympic and Brittanic

- In 1911, Olympic collided with a royal navy ship and sustained significant damage. Because Olympic was found at fault in the collision the White Star Line's Insurer refused to pay up.

- 10 days before the "Titanic's" maiden voyage a fire started in its coal bunker and could not be extinguished. The WSL went forward with the voyage despite the fire which damaged the hull's integrity.

- Aboard the "Titanic" were three prominent financiers and political leaders who opposed the creation of the Federal Reserve: John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim and Isidor Straus. They died when the ship sunk and the Federal Reserve was then created in 1913.

- Robert Ballard found no remnants of the supposed "ice berg" in his multiple dives to the ship's wreckage

So with those facts the picture becomes clear.

The Olympic's collision put the WSL in dire financial straits and in need of an influx of cash, this was achieved when they were approached by JP Morgan who saw an opportunity to remove three of his opponents from the markets and also make a ton of money. Olympic and Titanic were then switched because the insurer would have to pay out the price of a new shite if the brand new Titanic sunk. The fact that zero Israelis died in the sinking seems to indicate that JP Morgan contracted the Mossad to start the coal fires which eventually sunk the ship

Also Robert Ballard is interesting as hell to read about as well. Discovered all sorts of wrecks

For real though, think about..when the lights went out, and all you heard were screams and groaning metal under the ocean, then you'll notice the silence. Hoping everyone was rescued, you get closer with a lantern realizing for the first time what the word Titanic will now forever mean.

The most sad fact about the sinking of the RMS Titanic was there were exactly zero Gnomes as casualties.

CQD, CQD....

"They wouldn't let Jack Johnson on board, they said,
'This ship don't haul no coal'.

Fare thee well Titanic, Fare thee well."

Nobody can be this dumb. Can they?

You've wasted this much time, might as well waste another couple hours.
Seriously, this shows the events of the last hours of the Titanic as they are believed to have happened. It even shows the lifeboat fiasco as it occured. It is a "real time" simulation. Speed up the playback and pause when the info pops up.
"Ain't nobody got time fo all dat."
