Hank Posted September 27, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2013 Just over 100 years ago the RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic with great loss of life. Since then the world has taken a much safer approach towards seagoing travel, shipbuilding, and safety at sea. But the question always remained the same: What was the root cause of the world's most "unsinkable" ship to go to the bottom. Perhaps this year we finally have the answer to this - AND possibly the recovery of Amelia Earhart's plane. While most of us go about our daily lives without too much ado, a small group of dedicated scientists, engineers, and research analysts have been quietly working to find the truth about Titanic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saHs6J0OXVI In all fairness, I could hardly believe my eyes when I viewed this shocking revelation.

popeye the sailor Posted September 27, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I watched the multi - part documentary on you tube one day...........it was very good........sad, but good. there was mention about the Olympia being the one that was sunk...........that was proven not to be the case. I have a bit of trouble believing the video.........not a whole lot of evidence there, and extremely poor testing on the author's part. the one factor that was left out.....what would be the motive be for sinking such a vessel?

pollex Posted October 2, 2013 Share #12 Posted October 2, 2013 Hello Hank, If you can find the relevant refs, you'll be able to read fascinating data of 1900 steel metallurgy compared to contemporary steel-manufacture showing brittle rivets & plates due to the "cold" water temperature. Also, hydrographical data showed that exceptionally higher tides on the Labrador coast in 1900+ caused many more and larger icebergs to float into Atlantic shipping lanes instead of stranding & melting just off the Newfoundland coast. Also the the harsh temperatures on the night of the sinking, caused mirages and "inversions" hindering the immediate and distant vision of Titanic and Californian officers on watch. Sorry I can't remember the book or TV references. This was not in James Cameron's investigative video. Regards, Pollex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you'll be telling me that aliens help build the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria! No of course not, but the Aliens did help him find the island he was looking for, sadly they were using an old map that hadn't yet been updated. Which is all the evidence I need that the Aliens are in fact our own Government workers! Tom egkb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
