The Titanic hoax theory centres around the fact that it's sister ship (the Olympic I think), was involved in a serious collision with a Royal Navy boat on its maiden voyage. A very biased naval panel attributed all blame to the Olympic's captain, therefore the ship's owners were unable to claim insurance for the accident.
The theory goes that the owners swapped the badly-damaged Olympic with the almost-finished Titanic in the shipyard during repairs, then scuttled it at sea and claimed the Titanic's insurance.
While the theory has numerous weaknesses, it doesn't actually deny that a ship went down with over one thousand people still on board.
I think the Olympic (ne Titanic)was used as a troop ship during WWI and had a pretty distinguished history of running into other ships until it was scrapped in the '30s, so it's unlikely Hitler ever set foot on it. |

Let's set this straight- The sinking of the Titanic was a hoax itself, some rich guy bought the whole ship and had it dry docked as a souvenir. I should know, it's sitting in my backyard which wasn't a good idea because now the dog gave it his "blessings".
Now, seriously, anyone ever hear of colour footage of the actual ship? |

I know for a FACT that it sank. I seen it happen in this MOVIE!!!! The one where that DeCaprio guy was killed in. I think he froze to death or something. But I did see that ship sink!!!! I think it was a few years ago. I guess someone took a video camera on board. Must have been a perve though. He even videotaped them doing something "Naughty" in the back of this rich guys car. Also had them in everyones room as well. |

What I can't understand about this crazy theory is that it doesn't explain the very large wreck found on the ocean floor with the name "Titanic" clearly visible through the rust. If that ain't the Titanic, what the hell is it? |

Wait, if the Titanic didn't sink, would that mean Celine Dion is a hoax too?
I hope so, she sounds like one. |

it seems every hoax is made into a movie.
Apollo 13
Schindler's List
Titanic
JFK
Passion of the Christ
seriously, I hope that Ashlee Simpson is a hoax. I would hate to believe that someone that awful could be 'successful'. |

Actually folks, the whole Titanic story is a hoax. It is no more true than Orson Welles in 1938 telling the story of the "War of the Worlds" (H.G. Wells - 1898) attack unfolding on his radio show.
The Titanic story was originally called "Futility; The Wreck of the Titan" 1898. (see link)
A similar story unfolded years later with the Apollo program (e.g. Apollo 13)...for the original story see Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon"...1866!
The real question is why do these stories work as they are intended to by the folks who portray them as real in modern times?
What goes in in real life when these stories are being played out might give one who is truly interested a clue or two.
