    How do all these so-called men of science suppose something can “sink” on a flat surface to begin with? That should’ve been your first clue dumbasses. You’re being lied to.

    This is a common misconception, the Ice berg actually hit the Titanic, but the Ice berg drove away before they got there License plate.

    One thing that always struck me as weird is that when the wreck of the Titanic was found, the swimming pool was still full.

    Not to mention the cumulative years I’ve spent traveling the roads without a single iceberg in sight but somehow the Titanic finds one within a week of leaving port (and at night, no less)? Color me skeptical.

      I’ve been in the navy for 15 years. I’ve never seen an iceberg floating anywhere.

        This is a genuinely good point, what are the chances of hitting an Iceberg on a trip from England to America? It has to be astronomically low, right?

          For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.

            Has the shipping lanes changed since then?

            I’d imagine that they went further north back then to be closer to land and help if something happened (obviously didn’t help much in this case though)

              From random searching around it seems lanes haven’t necessarily changed (basically this route is still used) but technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/default/files/images/iip/data/2017/20170426_NAIS65.gif

              Sinking location: https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Sinking_of_the_Titanic&params=41_43_32_N_49_56_49_W_scale%3A5000000

              Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.

    You fools! It’s still embedded in the ice. It just appears invisible because it’s underwater. Don’t you guys know how ice works? Sheesh.

    I never noticed how much the wreckage of the titanic looks like a small shuttle from Star Trek until seeing it associated with Picard (via your usernsme lol)

    That was the secret of the Nazi war machine … they had German u-boats in the Atlantic … and manned icebergs! ready to do damage to unsuspecting ships
