But like…why the fuck would it even matter? The story is exactly the same, the only different thing is the name of the ship. And if their theory is that they only sunk it for insurance money…like, what were the people in charge of sailing the thing into an iceberg getting out of this except death? What a dumb thing to spend your time being up in arms over.
I believe the "plan" was to sink her slowly by letting some water in, then have the "safest" at sea disaster by calling for help with enough time for nearby vessels to assist. The theory then goes on to claim that hitting the iceberg was an accident that only happened because they couldn't steer around it fast enough due to the water they had already taken on.
Can't remember where I read this it, might have been the Wikipedia article about the conspiracy theory.
They obviously miscalculated the trajectory around the iceberg because they were using the round Earth model.
And forgot the Moon hologram didn't really affect the tides.
Ooooh. Well, when you put it that way!
