The Earth is flat and the real reason Titanic sunk was because it fell off the edge. The submarine went too close to the edge and the waterfall flowing off the side caused the submarine to drift over the edge of the world and fall off.

There is no Titanic so James Cameron took out their sub so the truth wouldn't get out.
Ha! The whole titanic event was constructed to ensure a hit movie... Love it! Now how do we fold in some flat earth stuff?
What do you think the iceberg was for? Stopping the Titanic from finding the edge of the world.
The people on the submarine are actually alive and are living inside a underwater bunker!
There is no limit to how dumb these conspiracy theories can get. It would not surprise me if Fox News said that the democrats sabotaged the submersible to prevent them from bringing back Hillary's emails that had been hidden on the wreck of the Titanic.
Are you kidding me, here in the bible belt this theory is already widely accepted as a hard fact /s
Just found in my FB feed (what am I even doing there?)
This is fucking hilarious
Some government knows where the sub is, but they can't tell anyone to not show their actual surveillance capabilites.
That doesn't sound that far fetched at all. I bet US has sacrificed thousands of Ukrainian soldier's lives just not to disclose their valuable secret reconnaissance capabilities. What difference would four more people in a submarine do to change their mind?
Yeah but these are billionaires we're talking about.
Orcas! They probably did the Titanic in too
I browsed 4chan /x/ earlier today, so here's where they are...
The obvious one relates to the fact that founding members of the Federal Reserve were on the Titanic, and it was intentionally sunk to (something incoherent about economics). The submarine was sunk for similar reasons.
The Titanic didn't sink, but it was some other vessel, and They had to sink the submarine so the truth wouldn't get out.
There are deep ocean aliens, and the sub had to sink to conceal that fact.
Those are the ones I could remember. In any case, it's always the Jews and the CIA.
The Titanic being swapped out for a different ship is a persistent one that's been around for a while
Do you know what the deal is with that? I couldn't figure it out, and one of the problems with /x/ is that they assume you already know what's going on with their conspiracies.
So the swap conspiracy is yhat the Titanic had a twin sister ship, i think it was like yhe olimpia or something like that. The conspiracy, iirc, is that the sister ship wasnt made completely vto the same "unsinkable" standards as the Titanic. But, the titanic wasnt going to be completed in time so they changed the names and no one would he the wise. I think another part of yhis is yhat yhe twin ship was around for quite a while and i believe rammed a german uboat in ww1 and so people think that was really the unsinkable one. I could be wrong a bout a number of these points though. It's been a minute since I'm read about that conspiracy theory and im to lazy to fact checky self.
That makes at least a little bit more sense... Not to imply it makes sense, it just makes a little bit more sense.
I remembered after posting, the children of 4chan were implying the fake sinking thing was some sort of insurance fraud. But that only works if you also take the ship out of service, since otherwise the insurance company will be left wondering, well where did this other ship come from?
But this is one thing at the heart of conspiracy theories: they don't actually think about how the world works. It's like, one of the big conspiracies on 4chan at the moment is ESGβenvironment, social, and corporate governance scores in investing. They think that this is a social engineering effort, as though Blackrock cares about anything other than money.
If you're curious what ESG is really about, it's a con to make stock-buying more palatable for millennials. But since the children of 4chan don't know anything about anything, it's gotta be Jewish social engineering.
The poop post OP is planning to go diving with a submarine and wants to be prepared for the worst.
If he stops posting, this will be canon.
I sure hope so
Somewhere on the ocean floor would be a great place to hide Hunter Biden's laptop...
The submarine is staying down there because the pilot knows the Canadian wildfires are going to set the atmosphere on fire. They need to outlast the fire and repopulate the earth with the DNA they found on silverware from Titanic survivors.
I'd watch a SyFy Original Pictures film with this premise, NGL.
I'd watch a whole damn series.
That they weren't going down to see the Titanic at all. They were really out searching for Atlantis and got caught in a battle with Namor, who obviously crushed their submarine like a soda can.
It defected to Russia with super advanced submarine tech and a nuclear bomb.
Russia or the US torpedoed it
The missing Titanic submarine was actually a covert operation by Russian President Vladimir Putin to sabotage the Ukrainian gas pipeline project that was being funded by Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, who were on board the sub. Putin hired French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who had previously explored the Titanic wreck, to plant explosives on the pipeline that runs near the Titanic site. However, the plan went wrong when British billionaire Hamish Harding, who had recently traveled to space with Jeff Bezos, discovered the plot and tried to stop it. A fight ensued inside the sub, causing it to lose contact with the surface and sink deeper into the ocean. The other passenger, Stockton Rush, founder of OceanGate Expeditions, was an innocent bystander who got caught in the crossfire. The sub is now lying at the bottom of the Atlantic, with all five passengers either dead or waiting for a miracle rescue.

In 2-5 years it'll be brought to light that 2-5 of these rich fuckers were doing some S grade, distilled Epstein level, messed up shit. The conspiracy theory will be that they were killed because 2-5 politicians were going to go to prison if anyone found out so they tried to bury it.
Stepson sabotages submersible because he wasnβt allowed to go to Blink182 concert; punk rock is therefore root of all societal evil.
It was eaten and/or mind-controlled by Leviathan; specifically, the pyramid-shaped tentacled hyperintelligent creature of that name from the Illuminatus! books.
I already had someone suggesting it was eaten by some unknown massive deep sea dwelling creature.
That it went missing due to the controller used. I find it utterly absurd to believe that a submarine of such high caliber could possibly go missing due to a low-grade Mad Catz controller. In my opinion, when youβre dealing with equipment as expensive and sophisticated as a submarine, youβd expect nothing but the most advanced and reliable controls, not some generic gaming joystick. Itβs quite a far-fetched conspiracy theory if you ask me.
I donβt know why people got so fixated on the game controller. Realistically they were just using it to give a computer some USB commands, and these controllers are excellent for that. The real difference between cheap and pricy ones is stuff like latency and better vibration. So no reason not to use the cheap one from a reputable brand
Not inherently a problem no, but the one they were using was wireless, and apparently reviews were full of connectivity issues. You'd think they'd pick something proven and reliable, like an official wired Xbox controller.
Or wire their own button box, so they could do stuff in case of component failures.
That's probably asking a lot from this particular company
Itβs not really missing, thereβs some life-insurance fraud going on.
I've just seen a stupid conspiracy theory about this - that the US government knew the sub imploded almost immediately but they went through with the search attempt in order to distract from what's going on with Hunter Biden right now.
Probably that the wealthy people onboard were just faking their deaths.

I saw a guy saying it had all been a simulation for the people inside the sub as if the govt faked it and just kidnapped them
I'm already hoping for the plot of "Atlantis: The Lost Empire"
It was all planned by the aliens! And the government knows everything but everything is hidden from us. The governments want to trade humans to the aliens for some lolcat! For every human they receive, they send 1000 lolcat memes! People! Don't surrender to them, resist!!!111!11!1111
I think it's staged. You get a bunch of experts on the TV who talk about how there's a "1% chance" of survival. Then tomorrow, against all odds, they're saved! It's a miracle! Then the 4 billionaires get to be in a movie. Or maybe it takes a dark turn and I'm full of shit. Guess we'll see. Maybe they are faking their deaths.
Dark turn it was. Huzzah! I'm glad it happened personally
Sounds like the participants got more than they bargained for. The website said you can "visit one of the most famous shipwrecks" but they instead became a famous shipwreck. I wonder how many decades it's going to take to find the wreck. Finding a 2000ft ocean liner is one thing. Finding a 20 ft submarine that's probably completely buried in the mud is going to be a lot harder.
I just hope the hull imploded and they died instantly. Slowly dying of thirst and oxygen deprivation for a week in a dark cramped space is a hell of a way to go.
You are being very generous calling them a famous shipwreck. They will eternally be overshadowed by the real shipwreck right next to them. They are just having 15 minutes of fame without even being able to enjoy it.
The ghosts of those who died will cause strange things to happen there. Maybe this happening is even a revenge from the victims of the Titanic
Wait this is probably not conspiracy but superstition π
