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!
