Believe it or not ,I have heard of Dr Robert Ballard from the movie "bridge to Terabithia " in a scene when the teacher at the class asked the students to watch a program(it talks about Dr Robert Ballard and his discoveries under the sea) on channel 4 and write an assignment on what they've learned from the program .

It's "easy" to check witch ship is in the bottom of the Atlantic, Titanic had 3 blade propeller on the turbine axel and Olympic had 4 blade, end of discussion. But they really searched a good spot to sink that ship, make it harder to investigate.

@scubasteve9715 Жыл бұрын

Funny because with the new 3d scans that were just released and you can actually read the inscription 401 on the propeller which was specific to the Titanic. So it's settled that it is in fact the Titanic

I just saw an offspring of Bruce Ismay being interviewed about the Titanic. It took place about 8 years ago (2015?). He was maybe in his 70's+. He was rather arrogant in that he kept making references about how there was/is so much misinformation about the ship. I don't respect him at all. How about the lack of life boats for starters! The "mis-design" of air-tight compartments...none were airtight because they didn't have a roof! Hello! How about the treatment of the third class! This Ismay guy refers toTitanic's demise as an "act of God". Yikes. Totally delusional.

@JeremyMagicJohnson 2 жыл бұрын

NO! Bruce Ismay could HAVE done something! He could have ran around as fast as possible to find others, ANY OTHERS, to tell them the last life boat was being lowered. He could of yelled, “FOLLOW ME, LAST LIFE BOAT IS BEING LOWERED!” and with that help to fill the boat he took. Yes, he could have done something besides save himself. So no, he’s not innocent of being a coward. And as such should be branded as one!

Dr Ballard sounds and looks so weird to me when he has been asked for his thoughts about the durable switching conspiracy. Loosing his temper, he talks about Cpt. Smith's responsibilities then he moves immediately on a another subject as lifeboats and so on but not answering the simple question. How is it possible that he hasn't done a video to avoid this kind of question or having already an answer and high definition pictures to prove that it is stupid to think, no matter how, it could be the RMS Olympic at the bottom of the Ocean. With hundreds hours of video (with Cameron's and Nargeolet's videos) that would be easy. What do you think?

It's the Titanic. They found the yard Number 401 on the Propellers, on the boilers, on the engines. Propellers between Titanic and Olympic weren't switched. That a lie by Gardener. Only a propeller shaft from Titanic was used for the Olympic. Both ships weren't identical. In fact, in Details the ships were very different. A switch was technical and logistical impossible. Every switch theory is debunked. No proof.

@@honda900000Totally correct, and in the last decade or so letters on the bow like T, I, A, and C were found on the bow as well. Note: You can see the footage on You Tube.
