      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.

        I've been in the navy for 15 years. I've never seen an iceberg floating anywhere.

          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?

            So you're saying the Titanic took down the Twin Towers?

            ZOMG The Titanic took down the Twin Towers!!!

              For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.

                Has the shipping lanes changed since then?

                I'd imagine that they went further north back then to be closer to land and help if something happened (obviously didn't help much in this case though)

                  I'm not saying it was or it wasn't but I am saying that titanic was a false flag look into it.

                    I'd do my own research (on youtube).

                      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!<

                        The shipping lanes haven’t changed much. The priority is still to cross the Atlantic from the English Channel to New York in the shortest distance.

                        As a direct consequence of the sinking of Titanic, the International Ice Patrol was formed to keep track of ice from point of origin throughout its transit through shipping lanes. These days it’s an aerial and satellite patrol.
