A search is underway for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Canadian officials say the five-person submersible was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John's, Newfoundland and that the search is being led by the U.S. Coast Guard. The owner of the ship that launched the submersible confirmed that it was operated by OceanGate Expeditions, which has been operating annual voyages since 2021 to the wreckage of the iconic ocean liner. In a statement, the company said it is working to bring the crew back safely.
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.
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.

There was a conspiracy that the original titanic going down was an insurance scam.

Oh i hate that stupid theory. That’s like top tier “looking for a conspiracy because we’ve got nothing better to do”
It’s not a great theory. I’m pretty sure it would have made more money transporting passengers hundreds of times over
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
Absolutely ridiculous. It’s huge international mega-corporations doing that.
