And it sounds psychopathic, but there would apparently be rescue ships positioned in the area to pick up the passengers and crews.

There wouldn't be a big loss of life.

But then Gardner says that what happened was the Olympic accidentally struck one of the rescue vessels and that caused the Olympic to sink very quickly, preventing the planned rescue.

And his evidence as such is just that the Olympic and the Titanic were sister ships, so they look kind of similar.

And he said it would be really easy to switch out anything that had the Olympics name engraved on it and replace it with stuff from the Titanic.

Problem.

And as you point out, there's like a bunch of issues with this.

And the issues kind of help us to understand the problems with conspiracy theories in general, because one of the questions we always have to ask is how many people would have to be in on this conspiracy?

And in the case of the Titanic Olympic switcheroo, it would at least be hundreds, probably thousands.

I mean, there were over 800 crew members on the Titanic.

They would have been very familiar with that ship.

They would have noticed the differences if it had been switched.

There were some structural differences between those two ships on the A deck and the B deck.

For example, the A deck promenade on the Olympic was open and the Titanic was partially enclosed by windows.

You're going to notice that difference if they try to make that switch.

Not only that, but the shipyard workers have to carry out the physical changes.

There would have been hundreds of them.

The Board of Trade performed an official and thorough inspection of the Titanic after it was built, and they would have needed to be in on it.

The crew members of the rescue ships would need to be on it.

Also, what about this alleged mystery ship that crashed into the rebranded Olympic?
