How did this mix-up of information occur? Captain Haddock of the Olympic explained it: amateur wireless operators had accidentally put together two wholly unconnected messages. The first, Is the Titanic safe? somehow got scrambled in with another, which referred to the Deutschland (this of course was the ship referred to on the second half of the wireless message Captain Smith handed to Bruce Ismay on Sunday 14th; the one Ismay pocketed, the one nobody recalled being posted on the bridge) ..... Asian towing Deutschland to Halifax. The result, Captain Haddock said, when the messages were put together, was ..... Titanic safe, towing to Halifax.

I will watch the vid, but first let me say that I know the Titanic did not sink, because it was switched for its sister ship in an insurance scam.

I used to be a skeptic/scoffer of the ME. But I’ve changed my tune. All due to the LHC at CERN.

..hard time believing a ship can sink?
So do you believe the 'wireless' transmission that all the people were saved? They're awful specific.. "Several ships rush to aid" - "Passengers board the Carpathia" - "Prominent Men And Women making dangerous transfer [to recovery vessel]".
That's text from the newspapers you posted.
I think you found more residue - take a close look at the images in the papers you posted - and the text.
Lastly, I don't think real newspapers headline falsehoods to save "worry". That sounds bogus to me.. I understand if we differ.. ..but your asking me to believe (in approximation) the headline:
World Trade Center Ablaze - All Tenants Survive Thanks To NYFD - Do Not Worry
Expert firefighters from surrounding areas are treating the last of the injured now.. The seriously injured have been transferred to NYC Health, Kings County and Gotham Health. All hospitals report they expect the injured to make a full recovery. Thankfully there was no loss of life, a full investigation to follow.
Isn't that a little specific?
Don't forget - wireless is also realtime.

This thread isn't about the sister ship, or insurance. Yes I'm aware of the theory.
This thread is about a newspaper showing the Titanic at port in a NY harbor - containing very specific reports of the issue, the rescue and the result (docked).
