It's the moment we've all been waiting for... It's time for the Conspiracy Theories of the Titanic.

Was she sunk because of poor engineering, or perhaps some dark and mysterious paranormal curse? Or maybe she didn't sink at all... You're going to want to grab your tin foil and your science hat for this one, because the ship is sinking and we're just getting started!
