	belfasttelegraph.co.uk		WAS IT REALLY TITANIC THAT SANK? An event like the Titanic disaster will always attract conspiracy theories but can we really believe that the ship that struck the iceberg on that fateful night wasn't, in fact, the Titanic at all?

Imagine, if you will, that the Titanic's near identical sister ship The Olympic was severely damaged in a collision while sailing from Southampton. The cruiser HMS Hawke smashed into the side of the Olympic and an inquiry later exonerated the Hawke of all blame....	24th March 2012
