“Misleading - there is no evidence that the Titanic is unsafe. These statements by Engineers may cause the public to be reluctant to travel on the Titanic. ”
We titanic had a sister ship call the Olympic. But the latter was in cruddy condition (This is off the top of my head, so I don’t remember whether it was repaired badly or just built badly), so the conspiracy goes that the names on the two ships were deliberately switched because the owners knew the Olympic was not seaworthy and the iceberg was just a cover to justify it sinking and collect the insurance money.

Ackshually,
Titanic would be probably fine if they just rammed that iceberg head on.
the titanic/olympic conspiracy is actually really interesting
Oh, it’s pretty simple:
