    Especially because we have pictures and videos of the ship on the ocean floor. And (some) people have visited it and can tell us about it firsthand.

      Moon landing is even more recent. Didn’t like Buzz Aldrin or one of them deck a guy one time for insulting him and getting up in his face about faking it all?

      I think that conspiracy claims that the ship that sank wasn’t the Titanic but a sister ship made together with it. They point to pictures of the ship at the bottom of the sea and say the size of some windows or whatever match the shape from the sister ship, not the Titanic. The conspiracy says it’s insurance fraud.

        How does insurance fraud work in this situation? Like if I had two cars, identical model but a year or two apart. I sink one in the river, but I claim it was the slightly newer one that crashed. Seems like it would be easy to prove that I’m still driving around the other car.

          Pretty much yeah, that’s why it’s a conspiracy theory, it’s dumb and it relies on everyone else closing their eyes. It would be too easy to prove true, but now that both ships are gone, you can’t prove it wrong.
