I love conspiracy theories. They are a stable mix of crap and substance at room temperature. One of the best I have come across is Titanic actually not being Titanic but apparently a sister look alike ship called The Olympic. As per the theory, Titanic sinking was the biggest insurance fraud in history. Anyways, not going into the conspiracy, I would like to tell you something you probably would be shocked to hear. Most of the footage, postcards and pictures of the Titanic in existence are fake. There is a more than 90% chance that what you have as a memory of Titanic is actually a shot of the sister ship The Olympic and the video footage that media uses too is that of The Olympic. That is how similar the two ships looked. You can tell this by looking at the names of the docking ships in pictures smudged because they were in New York – a city that the Titanic never reached. And just in case you didn’t know, the man accused of co-conspiring the Titanic Insurance Scam was no other than the great J P Morgan himself who cancelled his ticket on the Titanic at the last moment on grounds of ill health, when actually he was in southern France with his mistress, in perfect physical health.Keep reading for the next post on the Titanic Conspiracy....
