    I think the real question is... did the titanic really exist? I believe the titanic is a myth glorified by the jews.

    Are you sure? The majority of D&D think Bush did it.

    Haha, they already did a segment on the Titantic that I remember from a while back. The theory they were testing was is would the actual sinking itself create suction and literally suck people down inyo the ocean after it? I guess there were eye witness reports saying that as the ship was going down and sinking to the bottom it created suction and sucked some people in the water down after it.

    I forget what their conclusion was though......

    I remember that one! They busted the myth...a sinking ship doesn't create suction.

    mainly women

    and some men for the short time that Kate Winslet was nekkid.

    :)

    the prevailing theory just makes sense.
    The weight of the boat, up in the air?

    I can surely see it being enough to cause the already stressed hull to split.

    I was looking on the web for some info and I found a USA TODAY article that says the titanic broke in 3 parts, this article of from late of 2005 so, I dont know if its new info

    Scientists unveil new Titanic discoveries
    By Jay Lindsay, Associated Press
    FALMOUTH, Mass. — Undersea explorers said Monday that the discovery of more wreckage from the Titanic suggests that the luxury liner broke into three sections — not two, as commonly thought — and thus sank faster than previously believed.

    "The breakup and sinking of the Titanic has never been accurately depicted," Parks Stephenson, a Titanic historian, said at a conference at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

    The ocean liner that was billed as "unsinkable" by its owner struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage and went down in the North Atlantic on April 14, 1912. About 1,500 people were killed.

    Undersea explorer Robert Ballard located the bulk of the wreck in 1985, at a depth of 13,000 feet and about 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland. He declared that the ship had broken into two major sections, and that is the way the sinking was portrayed in the 1997 movie about the catastrophe.

    However, the latest expedition, sponsored by the History Channel, found two hull pieces, each roughly 40 feet by 90 feet and lying about a third of a mile from the rest of the wreck. The explorers said the location of the wreckage indicates that the ship's bottom came off the ship intact — constituting a third major piece — and later broke in two.

    Ballard played down the importance of the find.

    "They found a fragment, big deal," Ballard said. "Am I surprised? No. When you go down there, there's stuff all over the place. It hit an iceberg and it sank. Get over it."

    All it did was beat the Star Wars box office record. How does a true story with a fictionalized romance beat the genius that is Star Wars?

    Appeal to legions of hopelessy romantic disillusioned females. While giving males destruction and death to look at :)
