    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.

        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?

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

    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.

    The titanic WAS the iceberg! I feel like I’m going insane why can’t anyone remember this?? It was made of pykrete as part of Project Habakkuk and repurposed as an ocean liner because they thought it would be cheaper than building ships out of metal. And there weren’t any lifeboats, ice floats and the survivors could and did just cling to the wreckage. We didn’t (and still don’t) know what sunk it! It’s a whole mystery and apparently now we’re just pretending it’s solved??

    !joke disclosure this is a joke!<

      Pykrete was invented by the cousin of the science TV presenter whose voice can be heard on Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science”.

    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
