    Has anyone been watching this on Sky? Last week was about 9/11 and last night was about Titanic. Although a lot of what is investigated is pure speculation, it does make you wonder about whether any of it could be true. No smoke without fire and all that!

    i like the way it presented the conspiricy from both sides of the argument. i reckon there was no switch of the titanic.

    It seems that for 80% of the show they have a lot of people who are convinced of a coverup and put across a very compelling argument but then at the end of the show, on comes a couple of experts who can point out all the flaws in the theories. I reckon you're right. It was the Titanic that went down but wouldn't it be mad if they were switched. I wonder is The Olympic still around? And also, how come it was able to sail after it's collision with the Navy vessel?

    It wasn't a good show (at least for 9/11). Didn't cover everything, had looneys fighting the conspiracy side, while some of the stuff was given facts.

    Watched it last night, they try to convince you the whole way through but then at the end it more or less confirms that its all bull****

    Titanic / Olympic
    on the dives to the titanic they checked the serial nos on a lot of the machinery showing it wasn't switched. - but a nice theory

    Prachett said something about people constantly complain that governments couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery and stuff getting leaked to papers left right and centre, but they believe the same people can cover up something like roswell for half a century...
