Amazing coincidences led to Titanic sinking
An amazing set of celestial coincidences, may have led to the fate of the Titanic sinking.
The latest theory from scientists, is that icebergs swept into the path of the ill-fated liner due to a rare conjunction of the Moon and Sun.
During a spring tide that brought the moon on the closest approach to earth for 1,400 years, coupled with a close encounter between the earth and sun, the gravitational effect was abnormally strong. This lead to high sea levels enabling icebergs to dislodge and move into the shipping lanes.
