There was a conspiracy that the original titanic going down was an insurance scam.
There's also a conspiracy that my farts smell like rancid carrots because the government puts carrots up my butt while I'm sleeping
Why aren't more people talking about big carrot? Wake up sheeple
An easily disproved one too, as the sister ships weren’t actually identical. Also the recent scan on the ship revealed the hull number 401 on one of the propellers putting another nail in the coffin of the idea the ship is actually the Olympic.
Oh i hate that stupid theory. That's like top tier "looking for a conspiracy because we've got nothing better to do"
They're playing a really long game if so. Submarines like this weren't even conceived of yet when the Titanic went down, it'd take tremendous foresight to have set this up.
It's not a great theory. I'm pretty sure it would have made more money transporting passengers hundreds of times over
