"The First Step" Instruction Book
about his collection of instruction books on playing musical instruments, and he had placed the notation of a song called
Down Among The Dead Men on his post.
I had never heard this song before so I Googled through the video search and found this clip -
But it got me thinking to a magazine article I had read not too long ago about the Titanic/Olympic conspiracy ... which at first seemed absurd, but then started sounding very possible.
I tried searching the net to find the article I had read, but could only find ones like this article;
The Great Titanic-Olympic Switch
Then I remembered hearing that there was a doco on this subject and tried to find it on Google video, but what I found was a BBC film called
Conspiracies- Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank
Sounds nuts right?
Well, maybe the above film is worth a watch?
Anyway, thanks King Uke for the entertaining wild goose chase this turned into for me.
But I have to say that's not the real King Uke singing ... unless somebody has pulled a switch on me, that is;-)
My theory after sussing out this story and motives is that the owners of these ships were going to do a swap on the ships and sink the Olympic,but thought what a lot of pissing around that would be,so they just went ahead and sank the Titanic for the insurance money.
ReplyDeleteBut it all went pear shaped for them and they ended up killing a lot of people when the plans went haywire.
I didn't realise that there was a conspiracy about the Titanic. I just tried playing "Down among the dead men" and I can't make head nor tail of it...
ReplyDeleteThe song "Down Among the Dead Men" is just a song about the Titanic.
ReplyDeleteWhich got me thinking about an article I read about a switch.Then I found "Conspiracies- Titanic:The Ship That Never Sank",which is about the switch theory.watch that one.
It was quite interesting.

ReplyDeleteAs exciting as the theory is, I can't help but feel that artifacts like http://cbsboston.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/titanic.jpg?w=300 make it unlikely.
ReplyDeleteArtifact?
ReplyDeleteI think I can see the words designed in Sweden made in China,somewhere on that chipboard.-)
Wow! You're good at this conspiracy stuff! I hadn't thought of that! And that's why I'm the musical one...
