Okay,
according to this TV show I saw, the Titanic never sank.
It's sister ship had a hole in it somewhere and so the owners disguised it
as the Titanic and sunk it for the huge insurance payments?!
Some have said that the Titanic is actually now being used as a private
ferry for Hitler!
Who cares what TV show it was on? It's been posted on the internet. That's all you need to know. It must be true.
I do wonder, tho', where the hell Hitler's been hiding that big-ass boat all these years. It's not like you could just throw a tarp over it or something. Maybe he's been using the secret knowledge gained from the Philedelphia Experiment to hide it in plain site.

Well, it's true the Titanic's Sister ship, the Olympia, did go to it's aid but it's highly doubtful they would have swapped the names over and then slaughtered the passengers on the Titanic for an insurance claim.
1. In other words there would have been a discrepancy between the passenger list for the Titanic and the Olympia. If it was the Olympia that really went down then the dead would have been Olympia passengers and not Titanic passengers.
2. The passengers would've been unlikely to board the wrong ship becasue it's usually blazoned in big letters on the hull.
3. This was it's maiden voyage, if they changed the name of the Olympia to the Titanic before the passengers got on, then it was still effectively the Titanic that went down.
4. The Olympia and the Titanic were pretty much identical, what would it matter to them which one sank?
5. The damage done to the companies reputation for an unsinkable ship sinking would probably cost them more than any insurance claim could muster.
6. Would the Captain be willing to die to make the company money? He went down with the ship as did many of the crew!
7. You don't destroy a new ship just because of a small hole, it would've been repaired. Again if it was for the insurance, why bother to swap the names?
8. What about the survivors? If you're going to callously slaughter half a shipload of passengers in some insurance scam, you don't leave others alive that might report the truth of what happened.

Sure, Hitler the young athelic 116 year old man on the deck of the Titanic, crewed by the Angels of Mons. Once a fortnight he pays a quick trip to his favorite bar in Atlantis using the R101 so he doesn't have to pull his pleasure yacht into territorial waters where it might be seen.
Ya' know, Salami Origami, no hair-brained conspiricy theory is complete with out some UFO tie-in. Get yerself a flyin' saucer or two in there and then you got a STORY!

The Titanic definitely sunk. The Hindenburg, however, never did, nor the Space Shuttle Columbia. Want ice with that?
I thought the Titanic's sister ship was the Lusitania, which also sank.

The Titanic never existed; it was just too big to float. Displacement shiplacement. Pfft.

No, you have it wrong. It was the St. Lusitania that was Toledoed, but was missed by The Soury. Oh, hio what you're thinking: "Why not give Chesapeake?" Ches would like that, wouldn't he.
But...but...but...
What about Atlantis?
I thought Hitler was living on Atlantis with his alien minions.
Obviously, it's emitting enough magnetic radiation that no modern instruments can find it. I KNOW it's true, because Hitler talks to me in my dreams.
