Woman's conspiracy theory claiming the Titanic never sank is blowing minds
A woman with a conspiracy theory about how the Titanic never actually sank has been watched by more than 11 million people.
The viral tiktoker called Mia believes that the Titanic never even set sail as the Olympic was sent out in is place and purposely sank.
She also claims that some people were "in the know" and famously changed their minds about being on the ship at the last minute.
Mia says: "I was a Titanic kid, meaning I literally knew every single fact about the Titanic.
“My a** would sit and watch documentaries for hours and hours and hours. But when I heard this theory, everything like made sense.

“The White Star Line — a super important ship company built three super notable ships.
"We have the Titanic, the Olympic and the Britannic.
“The Britannic was the first to go — it was a war ship and people say it was struck by like a land mine in the water. But no it wasn’t. It was struck by a torpedo by a German U-boat and it sank.”

In the clip, Mia goes on: “And then we have the Olympic and the Titanic. They look identical.
“The Olympic was on the water for a while. She was reaching for retirement and they knew that.
"They were like ‘well it was a lot of money to make the Titanic, and it’s gonna be even more money to repair the Olympic. So what if we just sent the Olympic out instead, sank that hoe, claim some insurance money and then just scrap the Titanic like it was the Olympic for some spare parts.”
She added that only the people who built the ship actually knew the details about what it looked like and she suggests it would have been easy for the two boats to switch.
“The Titanic has 14 portholes on the side of it, and the Olympic had 16.

Mia then describes some notable people who decided last-minute not to get on the Titanic, including banker J.P. Morgan who was also the owner of the White Star Line.
Milton Hershey, of the famed American Hershey’s chocolate brand, also didn’t get on the Titanic despite having already paid the deposit.
Instead he went on the Amerika, a German liner, because the businessman was needed sooner than previously expected at his chocolate factory.
“Were they told not to because they knew it was going to f***ing sink anyways?" she said.
The conspiracy theory has got many people talking with more than 1.7million people liking it and more than 58,000 people sharing it with their friends.
