Did the MOON sink the Titanic? New study suggests freak tidal event caused icebergs to fill shipping lanes 100 years ago

Did the MOON sink the Titanic? New study suggests freak tidal event caused icebergs to fill shipping lanes 100 years ago | Mail Online: "The iceberg that sank the Titanic was sent on its deadly path by the closest approach of the moon to the Earth in 1,400 years, say astronomers.

A once-in-a-lifetime lunar event created an super-high tide on January 12, 1912 - setting loose a deadly fleet of icebergs, three months before Titanic sank on April 14, 1912 with the loss of approximately 1,500 lives.

The tide dislodged icebergs from shallow waters off the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland, filling shipping lanes with icebergs."
