After reading many possible theories I decided to edit this video to show how the collision may have occurred. Is this scenario possible?

I think that is unlikely. Dallas was well southwest of Titanic's position at the time and an iceberg on the grassy knoll would have been significantly to the port side of the ship. Despite forgetting his spectacles in his cabin, Murdoch would then have given a hard-a-port order and the Titanic would have missed the berg by at least 6 points.I think the second iceberg was on the grassy knoll.

The iceberg in the picture above has two points. The one seen by Scarrott was like Gibraltar as seen from Europa Point. As seen from Europa point, The Rock does not look like anything in these pictures.

Furthermore, it there had been an iceberg on the grassy knoll that night, it would have turned into snow by November 1963 and someone would have noticed.
LMAO.You completely overlook the theory that the reporter Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered after jack Ruby told her how J. Edgar Hoover gave Oswald and Evingrude outboard to steer the second iceberg into "Titanic's" path.
Look folks, this is humor among a few colleagues who are prodding each other. Don't take it seriously; just enjoy.
Besides, Dallas is nowhere near the North Atlantic.

Just an aside on the "grassy knoll".I think the second iceberg was on the grassy knoll.
Not insulting you Aaro. Nor did I ever intend to. Not even your additions. It was just the video itself. if a video can be insulted.
As for many people, I'm sure you are right but as I pointed out , the people in question would not include any seaman who had found himself in the same circumstances.
Believe me, when you are on lookout up in the nest or right forward in the bow on a dark, moonless night, it is hard to see your own hand in front of you. If you see anything at all, it has to be by star light and very, very close to you or so tall and close to you that it blocks out the stars on the horizon. Then it looks black.
Passengers on the passenger decks can only see something that picks up the reflected accommodation lights. This means that the something has to be very close to the ships side.
If you want to know exactly what it was like that night, you can do no better than read the evidence of Captain Rostron of the Carpathia, He only just managed to swerve at the last moment to avoid an iceberg. He also saw one by chance as it reflected the light of a shooting star.
Who saw the ship turn right?
No Aaron, you don't steer south to avoid ice at or near the time you might just meet it... you steer south in good time. Nor do you alter course unless you are pretty sure you know where you are. If Captain Smith had wished to steer south to clear the ice, he would, like any other prudent Master, have done as soon as he received 7-30 pm fix position from Boxhall which was around 9-30 pm. In fact, even 9-30 pm was too late since he had the same information we do...that they expected to be up at the ice between 9-30 pm and 11 pm.
You are right, it's not rocket science, simply the nautical version.
