I love how you make 50+ minute videos titled with a question to which the answer is simply and clearly, "yes", and I watch them

I find it fascinating how every vehicle issue Simon has conveniently isnt his fault. Maybe we should add that to the list of Decoding the Unknown conspiracy theories.

It was definitely the Titanic that sank, not the Olympic. The only thing the Titanic and Olympic had switched were their original captains and if those two ships were to have been switched, there鈥檚 no way they would鈥檝e gotten away with it without everyone noticing. They weren鈥檛 100% identical and the Olympic looked exactly the same after the Titanic disaster as she did before and the Titanic鈥檚 window shapes, numbers, and more were the same on her wreck as they were when she was first built and they both had their names engraved on their sides and written in dozens if not hundreds of other places on them. If they were to have disguised the Olympic as the Titanic and the Titanic as the Olympic, they would鈥檝e had to work on those two ships a lot longer than they did before letting them leave for New York City to do big investigations on their names, numbers, windows, and much more to ensure that the Titanic鈥檚 appearance matched the Olympic鈥檚 and the Olympic鈥檚 matched the Titanic鈥檚.

The list to the port was cause there was a fire on board, in order to get the fire under control they moved hundreds of tons of coal to the port side. This actually saved hundreds of lives cause being off weight stopped the ship from capsizing like many big ships do when sinking

Hi Simon! I think this was already mentioned, but since you live in Prague why don't you have your writers give you a script about the iconic Golem of Prague? It would be perfect for DTU. Love all your channels! 馃槃

If anyone is interested in learning more in-depth information about the Titanic or Oceanliners in general I highly recommend the channel Oceanliner Designs. While his channel isn't exclusively about the Titanic, he does have several videos about it and why they couldn't have been switched. He also explains things like why the <b>California</b> didn't immediately rush to the Titanic (ice field, as well as the timing of the flares not consistent with a distress signal so they weren't sure what was going on), and a whole slew of other things. Something a lot of people don't realize is that at the point of it's maiden voyage, the <b>Titanic</b> wasn't as hyped up as we think it was today. The Olympic was the first in it's class- literally the *Olympic Class*, so that was the more famous ship at the time pre-sinking. Honestly the channel is just super interesting in general, as is the history of Ocean liners in general. Definitely worth checking out.

Between all the sinkings and conspiracies, I'm shocked there's still no video on M/S Estonia, which has both, a lot of which are still being uncovered today. The front bow was lifted from the seabed for examination literally couple days ago.
