Did A German Submarine Sink the Titanic?

Discuss!

I say no way possible, WWI U-boats were short range and this was 2 years before WWI. The first diesel engine was fitted in a U-boat in 1912 and they were capable of short trips in the North Sea only. They were never as far west as the Titanic when she sank, not even 6 years later when WWI concluded. Also, Titanic sank in 1912, two years before WWI. No German captain would attack a ship in peacetime. He's not a kid in the backyard with a slingshot.

This map shows where Allied ships were hit during June 1915 (3 years after Titanic)

No.

I think that guy got his PhD at the onion university.

200% no.

I think space aliens did it.

I think Dowly got it right - No. :shifty:

complete nonsense...the problem with too many tv stations these days is that too many people get invited and talking nonsense.

"Mysteries From Beyond the Other Dominion"...can sbdy translate this for me in easier to understand English, pls? :)

See, I saw the movie "Titanic", and there was this guy running around the ship shooting at Leo. I think the holes were caused by the man shooting.

Clearly, that is what happened.

My second theory is that the Irish blew the Titanic up to get the US to aid Ireland (the IRA) in the struggle.

My third theory is the that the Scots blew the Titanic up because they were too drunk and sabotaged the wrong ship.

Sounds like a job for the .... MYTH BUSTERS

:hmmm:
Sounds like another McBee/Steed caper????

So, as you can clearly see, the Scots sank the Titanic by mistake.

Plausible.

:k_rofl::Kaleun_Cheers::Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Evidently this guy has a Phd in theoretical nuclear physics. Go figure. :)

The Titanic was neither theoretical nor nuclear. That explains a lot.

As for u-boats, maybe they found a similar time warp to the one that grabbed Nimitz. On the other hand I recall Doctor Who mentioning the Titanic once...

Nonsense, it was an insurance job... :O:

Wait.

The Titanic didn't pay its "insurance" so Louis the Lip sent a hitman called "The Iceberg" to teach everyone a lesson?

Am I getting this right?

Iceberg? What iceberg? Wasn't it Ice cream?

:hmmm:

.

For some reason, people are impressed with Phds even when the doctor is opining on something totally out of his or her field.

After I get my doctorate in Public Policy, I look forward to writing many books on physics. And people better believe what I write too. :stare::stare:

I may even try my hand at brain surgery. That's done by doctors right?

:D

Well, if we use the "logic" put forth by people who think the moon landings were fake, the sinking of the Titanic was an elaborate hoax. Here's 25 reasons why:

1. The Titanic had three huge propellers, and could only go 25 miles per hour. A P-51 Mustang has one small propeller, but can fly 440 miles per hour.
2. The USS Constitution displaced 2,200 tons, but was only a century older than the Titanic, which displaced 46,000 tons. If the Titanic was real, we should be building ocean liners that displace 962,000 tons.
3. The Britannic struck a mine and sunk in an hour. If the Titanic had struck an iceberg, a substantially larger object, it would have sunk in seconds.
4. The ship only had propellers in the stern, none in the bow or sides. It would have been incapable of going in any direction except forward.
5. No clear color photographs of the ship were published until the 1980s, and most of them had the words "Ken Marschall" etched into one of the corners.
6. A ship traveling at 25 miles per hour through the North Atlantic would have been sunk instantly by the millions of blue whales and giant squids whizzing past the ship at lethal velocities.
7. All of the shots in James Cameron's Titanic are perfectly framed and exposed.
8. My great aunt's cousin's father told me that the Normandie was set on fire to prevent someone on the ship from exposing the truth about the Titanic hoax.
9. If 400,000 people can lie about the Moon landings, then 1,500 people can lie about dying in a shipwreck.
10. If we could send a giant ocean liner without enough lifeboats through an ice field at 22 knots 100 years ago, we still would be today.
11. The ship's hull was only 3/4s of an inch thick, so thin that tiny shards of ice could have poked through like a knife through butter.
12. The wreck is located so deep, that amateur scuba divers cannot visit it to confirm that it's actually there.
13. The ship's stern hit the seafloor so hard it practically exploded, but it didn't leave a giant crater.
14. The ship carried twice as much fuel as a Saturn V rocket, but it never traveled more than 1/5,000,000th of the way to the Moon.
15. As it burned coal, the ship would have become so light that it would floated into the air.
16. Nobody could decide if the ship actually broke in half until 1985, meaning it didn't actually sink.
17. No one had test-sunk an Olympic-class ocean liner with passengers before the Titanic sailed. How would they know it could actually sink?
18. It was so cold the night of the sinking that anyone standing on deck would have frozen in seconds.
19. In a 1997 Gallup poll, 73% of teenage polls thought the Titanic was a fake boat that Leonardo DiCaprio pretended to die on.
20. Survivors of the sinking remembered seeing stars that night, even though they weren't on the Moon.
21. The sound of the ship breaking in half would have been so loud that everyone in the lifeboats would have suffered permanent hearing loss.
22. Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith never showed their faces after the sinking, no doubt out of shame of having been involved in the hoax.
23. You can see the strings holding up the ship's funnels in every picture taken of it.
24. The bodies recovered after the sinking were just dummies that had been chilled in a radiation freezer.
25. When the ship sank, it was dark outside. But when the Carpathia arrived, the sun was out!

Two words come to mind about the person making this claim, weirdo, and I can't use the other one on this forum in case kids read it.

Where'd this moron come from? No. An iceburg did it.

Fixed it for you! :DL

If you look at the photos of the iceberg, you notice that the hole in it is much smaller than the titanic.
And why does the government still gives no clearance of the security cam footage from the Titanic?
I have torpedoed ships in SH and they took much longer to sink. Did you also know that there were tons of people on the ship, before it left the port? 1000s of people walking on and off board - the perfect chance to bring tons of explosives onboard.
All this evidence leaves no other conclusion than that the Titanic was destroyed by a controlled demolition.
My guess: it was the Mossad - they bring squirrels to spy, train sharks to kill in enemy waters, so they are certainly capable to control an iceberg - not to mention Goldberg/iceberg....


edit: just noticed Subnuts' post, looks like he is also one of us Titatruthers - keep on with the good work, buddy!

"Icist" comments like that have no place on this board! "An iceberg"? It was one specific iceberg, and it in no way reflects on icebergs in general. Most icebergs are harmless. You leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. Why, some of my best friends are icebergs! This one obviously had some social issues, and needs to be locked up, or at least put under psychiatric care. Maybe Skybird can help. On the other hand he might not be the best choice. "Iceberg", "Skybird" - there might be a distant family relation and a corrupted name involved. Of course the iceberg may merely have been startled by the ship, and attacked out of fear. We may never know, since the iceberg died a few weeks later, supposedly of natural causes.

Ice cubes, on the other hand? The only good ice cube is one you can chew on. Why that rapper guy changed his name to associate with their kind I'll never know. Do you know what ice cubes do? Drop down unsuspecting people's backs, that's what they do!
