That was an interesting read. It's just hard to believe that that many people would be in on the "scam".

Wouldn't some of the guidance personel willingly commit suicide? Or did JP Morgan and his cronies know that the route was full of icebergs?

The fact that Morgan and some other high rollers backed out of their tickets at the last minute does smell fishy.

Awfully nice of the crew and lookouts to help out with that.

It's not. It is a painting. I've seen others like it of the Lusitania and Bismarck.


Yea, a few of those look like they were taken from the book Ballard published after he found the ship.

The damage that was done to the stern when it impacted the ocean floor is crazy.

I read that the decks are generally no more than about 1 ft. high in the stern of the wreck due to the way it went down.

There are plenty of good books on the Titanic but they are all underwater in the ship's library.

This is on the side of the so called "Titantic" I mean Olympic



Funny how these guys were on the ship and JP and his good ole buddies made a last second cancellation

What's funny is it's actually the Olympic that's underwater. JP Morgan sank the Olympic on purpose because it was cheaper to get insurance than to repair it.
Except the fact that the Olympic sailed for a 20+ year career after the Titanic sank. It was then scrapped, not sunk.

Well that's because it was the actual Titanic. They were switched you see. The Olympic wasn't useful after it was damaged which caused the switch in the first place

It was quite useful after being repaired which only took a total of 6 weeks roughly.

This is sort of like the whole "chemtrail" conspiracy theory in that it would take so many people being in on it, that it renders itself impossible.
