Titanic

[Behemoth]

At the request of a certain member of the forums (clue: it was jude), here is another conspiracy theory for you involving the Titanic :D

Back when Titanic was around, it also had a 'sister ship' called the Olympic. The Olympic was almost identical to the Titanic in every way exept for a few small differences.

One day when the Olympic was out on a journey, it was coming into the dock and it collided with a harbour boat, causing a large amount of damage which would be very costly to repair for the ship's owners, White Star Line.

The Olympic had not been a very successful ship since it's launch as it had had many disasters at sea and some people even said it was cursed.

White Star Line was already in a bit of financial trouble around this time and that it when they came up with a plan to claim alot of insurance money and continue making alot of money from the Olympic.

They swapped the Olympic round with the Titanic. Changing all the little details and then sending out the battered Olympic out on Titanic's maiden voyage instead of the actual Titanic.

The plan was that the 'Olympic' would be deliberatley sunk near a point where a lifeboat had been prearranged to be. The ship would sink, the passengers would be saved, White Star Line would pick up a large payout from the insurers and continue to make money from the Titanic.

Obviously things didn't go quite to plan but the basic plan was pulled off.

Sounds intresting, but do you beleive it?

[Behemoth]

I watched a program about it on Sky One and it looked pretty genuine but it will never be proved now.

They reckon the captin was in on it aswell

[Behemoth]

Yea, the captain was supposed to have known all about it.

i don't know what to believe now

[SoapRach]

If that's true then where's the titanic now?

[Behemoth]

If it's true, then the Olympic is lying at the bottom of the ocean and the Titanic has probably been got rid of by now.

If i owned two boats, one with major problems, and one brand new one that was capable of earning a lot of money for me, why would sinking the broken one and then having to get rid of the nice new one inconspicuosly, be better for me financially than using the good one to bring in loads of revenue? Especially at the expense of so many lives?

[Behemoth]

Thats what i meant. They used the titanic to make them lots of money as the olympic but it wont still be inservice, over 80 years later so it has probably been got rid of.

[dddMac1]

it would be impossible to tell now was watching a program on the National geographic channel and they where saying that there is nothing much left of her

[SoapRach]

I didnt see it but it sounds intriging - anyone know if it's going to be shown again?

[Behemoth]

Hmmm, it might be. It's called 'Conpiracies - Titanic'

There's plenty of websites that you could search for on Google.

wow thats an interesting theory, wonder how true it is, it does sound believable

[.:Kitz:.]

I'm starting to get more and more interested in these consipracy theorys. Wow, this sure is interesting. Recently i'm more and more interested in conspiracies. If some of them where true, the world would make a lot more sense!

I read about another conspiracy theory about the Titanic. Aparently somebody wrote a book 80 years before the titanic sunk about a ship that sunk in the middle of the ocean, on its maiden voyage, killed thosands of people, as it didn't have enough life boats


The ship was called the TITAN......... wierd or what?

[.:Kitz:.]

Very, it is freaky but thought provoking aswell........

[Abi]

It is, there was a whole load of other coinsidences between the story and the titanic, i just can't remember them at the minute!
