Titanic Case Closed
by anthony searle on Sun Apr 15, 2012 3:53 pm
I watched this documentary the other night and it raised a couple of possibilities as to why the Iceberg was seen too late and why the Californian insisted that the ship that they were looking at was not the Titanic, it was claimed that what caused this was a Mirage caused by a set of circumstances which come together once in a while, whilst i can't go into the science that was used it was very interesting and certainly a possibility

Whatever Captain Lord did, or did not, do, he was guilty of doing nothing.
All the best,

You're right, Tim, the atmosphere that night was very bad, but i think the Captain Lord did nothing, my investigation about the Captain Lord show[s he] could do more.

I fully expect the next show's title to be:
Titanic - You no longer even need to bother - we nailed it

I think that what is missed with many of the titles of these documentaries is best summed up by Walter Lord in the final pages of ANTR. He wrote that "it is a rash man indeed who would set himself up as final arbiter on all that happened the incredible night the Titanic went down."
All the best,

Well, to those who buy into the "It wasn't Titanic it was Olympic" conspiracy theory, even that fact is in doubt...

Careful, Tom. You may find yourself being quoted on that!
