      Can you please do a video about the FDNY fireboats Firefighter and/or the John D McKean? The firefighter was designed by William Francis Gibbs and served at many famous fires in NY including the normandie. They both served during the 9/11 boat lift and pumped water for 96 hours. They are now both museums and I would love for some people to see their stories.

    I just found out something crazy in a video before this. I see 16 portholes on the front deck of quote Titanic, but the Titanic had 14 portholes on the front of the ship. The Olympic was in A. Collision that bent the kgil and the rumor just might be true, .What a trip, Well I don't put it past them.Switching the ships to possibly sink.The Olympic that had 16 port holes and the Titanic had 14.That was the only difference between the 2 ships trippy. Trippy😮 check 3min 45sec into this video. 😮I count 16, Olympic.

    You probably dont know how to explain anything because of your lack of knowlegde. The only thing scrambling around in this brain is the trigger word "conspiracy theories". Several witnesses did tell Titanic sank in one piece. Not that this really matters, but with a slight understanding of how bad the eyesight is, in the middle of the night, where the only thing you can see is a silhuett of a sinking ship, where the light is out, we know they told what they saw, from their point of observations. Just like the initial impact. In some parts of the ship, witnesses thought it was a dropped propeller blade, while the firemen in boiler room 5 for sure knew the hull was breached. Again you showing off your lack of knowlegde. To further show off your lack of knowlegde, the reason Titanic was bigger then Olympic was mostly due to the enclosed A deck. The differences between Olympic and Titanic is much more then this. We havent even got into the deck arrangement of A and B deck. So again. With 5 minutes of scrolling into the deck plans, the differences will become pretty clear. 22:37. We have the proof we need. Olympic was sold for scrap in the mid 30ies. Meaning alot of the interior was taken of the ship. Everything was marked 400. There is no written records of anyone reporting any object from Olympic was marked 401. Even if the theory was true. That the trio was needed to be eliminated, Strauss never booked a ticket on Titanic, but where transferred to Titanic when the coal strike ended. Yet again your lack of basic knowlegde comes to show. Lets talk about the keys. If this locked cabinet ever had any importance, there was a small crew from Harland&Wolff was onboard to make last minute fixes during the trip. A small lock would not been inaccessible, since the lock would have been picked or broken. What you think is not of any importance, since the lookouts did their duty, and if Fredric Fleet really needed the binoculars, Im certain that Andrews would have been able to obtain some keys to the lock, or get it open. Why bother to "react" to anything, when the only thing this academic brain is reacting to is the trigger word "conspiracy theory", without any basic knowlegde about the topic. Dont waste your time on this nonsense video. Total waste of time. Everything is "I need to look into this".

    While I understand that you said you don't have a lot of information on Herr Seiss, I would be interested to find out how a naval officer and torpedo expert in the First World War winds up as a Lieutenant General in the Luftwaffe for the onset of the Second World War!! If he'd been an Imperial Naval Air Service pilot I could see the logic. Maybe he had something to do with torpedo bombing doctrine? There's a little story in that I think!! Thank you, I did enjoy this as I'd never heard of the gentleman before!
