| All right, Dr. Fester, I've been having this on my desktop a long time, so I'm just going to bring it up today, kind of like there's a form that we could actually do. | |
| All right, there was a documentary not long ago saying that the Titanic had been switched for the Olympic and they sunk the Olympic. | |
| I'm just here to disprove that it was the Titanic that did go to the bottom. | |
| All right, so I'll just show you a few things. | |
| It shouldn't take very long. | |
| Alright, this is the Olympic, and one of the most telling factors that we have is all the way across this deck right here. | |
| I think it's a promenade. | |
| It is open to the air, and what they found out is that as the ship would be bouncing in the seas, it would spray the people. | |
| Alright, so when they came along and built the Titanic, they took into consideration for that. | |
| So these windows right here are to, you know, prevent the mist from spraying like that. | |
| All right, now there's a couple of things. | |
| Oh, yeah, that's at the bottom. | |
| This is right below the davits. | |
| Let me see if I can go back. | |
| You can see the boats right here. | |
| And so that would prove that these windows are above these davits right there. | |
| Okay. Okay, next, there's a couple of things that distinguished. | |
| There were more. | |
| I think there's 14 portholes on the Olympic and 16 on the Titanic, but we're not going to go that deep into it. | |
| Now, one of the most telling things is, if you remember in the movie when Captain Smith looked out to see if there was damage on the boat, and he said, you know, call the carpenter and sound the ship. | |
| Right here on the Titanic, this little area goes out maybe a few feet so you can see better. | |
| And then, so you can tell that it sticks out a little bit right here. | |
| Now on the Olympic, it does not stick out. | |
| It's exactly even with it like that. | |
| You can kind of see it on the smaller area right here. | |
| Okay, and this is an artist's rendition. | |
| This is a painting and even... | |
| The artist was able to catch that. | |
| It was a little bit different. | |
| Alright, so once again, that shows that again that I just mentioned. | |
| Alright, same thing again. | |
| Olympic here. | |
| Titanic there. | |
| Alright, so let me go back. | |
| Sorry, I need to point something out. | |
| Very important. | |
| Just give me a second. | |
| Let's get the right picture for you guys. | |
| It's actually the first one. | |
| Okay. On the Titanic, because of this, it forms a sea right there in a way. | |
| And then there's another sea at the bottom. | |
| Okay? So let me fast forward to the clip I'm looking for. | |
| Getting there. | |
| Alright, so this is a picture that Bollard took when they discovered the Titanic when they went all around the ship. | |
| And as you can tell, it has the sea right there and with the windows and then the second sea right here showing that it was the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. | |
| And once again, there's the Olympic with the open air. | |
| The thing right there. | |
| And then the last thing, this is the Olympic wheelhouse right here. | |
| Now, if you'll take note, you can see that the wheelhouse is round. | |
| Now, this is the Titanic. | |
| Get it to switch. | |
| Yeah, this is the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. | |
| That's the helm, you know, where the steering wheel was. | |
| And you can tell that it's a square. | |
| So the difference between the Titanic Olympic, Olympic had a round wheelhouse, and these are all the plaques. | |
| Every time they go down, they put a new plaque and all that, and you can see where they are hard to port. | |
| It's hard to port. | |
| So, all right, Dr. Spetzer. | |
| I've been wanting to do that for a long time. | |
| I just never did. | |
| Well, that's very, very interesting, Gary. | |
| You're pointing it out. | |
| Three or four major structural differences that differentiate the two that would, you know, the number of those portals, the coverage, the way it extends over, the square versus round. | |
| I think you've made your case that indeed it was actually the Titanic. | |
| Actually, I'd seen a previous documentary suggesting the Olympic had had a collision with a British warship and had its... | |
| Kiel affected. | |
| That was going to have a major consequence for the stability of the ship and that they deliberately made the substitution so that it would be the Olympic. | |
| But remember, I mean, hitting the iceberg was an accident. | |
| That was not on purpose. | |
| So... Perhaps it was kind of a frivolous theory to begin with, but I think you've done quite a good job. | |
| I think your points of difference are well taken. | |
| They're conspicuous. | |
| It would be impossible to replicate them, to fake them. | |
| So I think you sealed the deal, Gary. | |
| I think I'm now convinced myself, and frankly, before watching this, I was still entertaining the theory that there had been the substitution and the ship that had sunk had actually been the Olympic, redesignated as a Titanic. | |
| Thank you for this. | |
| There's another theory out there that they sank the Titanic because all the people opposed to the Federal Reserve System were gonna... | |
| So they killed everyone so they could get the Federal Reserve. | |
| And that's... | |
| Complete bunk as well. | |
| The idea that if the ship would have just ran right into the iceberg, it wouldn't have ruptured that fifth compartment. | |
| Who knows who's going to get on the lifeboat? | |
| In fact, more rich people got on the lifeboats than poor people did. | |
| They had many storage people standing there watching. | |
| They had boats with 13 people on them. | |
| So the idea that you're going to get just the ones that you want, the Astors, the Guggenheims, and what was it, J.P. Morgan was supposed to be on the ship. | |
| It just doesn't hold any water. | |
| And I can honestly say I've done as equal amount of research on the Titanic as I have JFK. |
