“Titanic” - a huge passenger airliner, which has become a legend in its first flight. Its designers said that it is unsinkable. But how, then, could he sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in less than 3 hours? Was everything as the official version says? Or maybe this is not an accident at all?
Was there a Titanic at all?
All sources say that on April 10, 1912, a large airliner departed from the shores of Southampton toward New York, which crashed after 5 days and took more than 1, 500 lives with it to the ocean abyss. But some people insist that this ship was not the Titanic at all, but its identical copy called the Olympic. It was alleged that this ship sank as a result of an accident back in 1911, but its co-owners sought to receive insurance compensation and issued the “Olympic” as the “Titanic”, and “sunk” it at the right time. Although this theory of the death of the ship did not find its confirmation.
Did the fire really predetermine the fate of the ship?
A recently released documentary presented evidence (just to put it this way, for the sake of argument) that the main cause of the sinking of the ship was a fire that started 3 weeks before it left. The damage became fatal for the ship's hull, as a result of which it sank so swiftly after a collision with an iceberg (if the collision took place).

Why did the captain exceed the speed?
For many decades, it was believed that Captain Smith kept speed higher than allowed due to the fact that he wanted to get around the twin brother of the Titanic - the ship "Olympic". But in 2004, another version of engineer Robert H. Essenhai was made public by the American Geological Society: it stated that the real reason the captain was speeding up was the speedy burning of coal to control the fire, which was mentioned above.
What made the ship break into two parts?
On September 1, 1985, oceanographer Robert Ballard discovered the wreckage 2.5 miles from the ocean surface with an interesting statement that the ship crashed into 2 parts before it sank. If earlier everyone thought that the ship had broken after a collision with an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, the new theory says that the damage was the result of design flaws and the saving of quality materials by the owners (builders).

Torpedo sunk "Titanic"?
Most believe that the Titanic sank after a collision with an iceberg on April 14, 1912. But not all. Some argue that the ship was torpedoed by a German submarine. This theory does not seem far-fetched, given that 3 years after the disaster, in 1915, a German submarine sank the passenger ship Lusitania. It is also possible that they confuse the Titanic with the Olympic, which crashed as a result of a collision with a warship in 1911. Nevertheless, the presence of several other ships near the site of the Titanic disaster leaves the question open.
Was there an iceberg?
The professional sailor, captain L. M. Collins, claims that if the ship had collided with an iceberg, the latter would have fallen in a matter of minutes. Instead, he believes the ship has stumbled upon perennial ice sheets floating near the surface of the ocean. Collins points to inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts, which in fact may be associated with optical illusions.
Why didn't the crew have binoculars?
Naturally, if the crew members had binoculars, then they would see an obstacle in time and they would be able to avoid troubles. But all optical instruments were locked in a storage compartment. Later, a senior crew member stated that he simply forgot to hand over the key before transferring to another ship. But is this really so?

Why has no one taken danger warnings seriously?
An hour before the collision, the Californian walkie-talkie reported that it had stopped in the midst of dense field ice. But the Titanic radio operator Jack Phillips did not transmit a warning to Captain Smith. There is a theory that the message was deliberately transmitted as “non-urgent”, but you probably will not be able to find out about it.
Is California related to the crash?
This ship was closest to the crash site. He was the first to send a warning about dangerous ice conditions. The ship’s crew later ignored the Titanic distress calls. Did the crew really not notice what was happening in sight?
"Third" ship
The Californian is not the only ship to ignore the Titanic distress signals, as the new theory says. Perhaps the Norwegian ship Samson was present in the disaster area. Allegedly, it was even closer to the Titanic than the Californian, but also ignored distress signals so as not to fall into the hands of law enforcement agencies for poaching.
J.P. Morgan planned all this?
There is speculation that the wreck of the Titanic was planned by the co-owner of the company that owned the ship, J.P. Morgan. He was one of the most influential and wealthy people at that time. Perhaps he knew about the impending disaster? If not, how can one explain the fact that he and his whole family refused to travel a few minutes before the ship leaves?
Was it a murder plot?
Some people believe that a crash has nothing to do with insurance money. Most likely, J.P. Morgan planned a catastrophe to kill his competitors: Isidor Strauss, Benjamin Guggenheim, Jacob Astor. Just how did Morgan manage to implement this plan? This theory is not taken into account.
