Original Title: TIL that after the RMS Lusitania sank, the enquiry recorded that the ship had been struck by two torpedoes, as survivors reported two explosions as it was going down. However, the log of the U-Boat which attacked her was adamant that only one was fired. The source of the second explosion is unknown.
