How about if it wasn't an iceberg that sunk TITANIC? Solar Flare anyone?
Even Popular Mechanics is going the conspiracy route these days.
The theory is that a severe geomagnetic storm caused compass error and problems with communications.
Unfortunately, Titanic/MGY wasn't having problems communicating with Cape Race or even her sister ship, Olympic/MKC - also outfitted with a 5 kW spark set. An Iceberg Might NOT Have Sunk the Titanic After All, a New Study Finds
Titanic was 500 nm from Olympic, the communications range easily twice the range of the other ships communicating with Titanic that night.
So I award the article a goose egg. Not based on evidence.
For your dartboard or discussion.
