Conspiracy Theories
Anyone know any good ones? Hopefully this thread won't turn into another 9/11 or Princess Di fest - they've been covered enough.
Saw a programme on Sky over the weekend on a theory concerning the Titanic - I'd never heard of this one before so it was pretty interesting - basically, the theory suggests that it's not the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic, but it's knackered sister ship the Olympic which was scuttled as part of an insurance scam.
Program was pretty good - went through all the facts to disprove the known history, then pretty much proved that was the Titanic that sunk
What other belters are there? and can someone suggest some good books that cover some other good ones?

I have a lot of respect for paramedics and their ability to save your life if they get there in time, it doesn't mean they are even remotely qualified however, to pass an opinion on the cause of death.
