In February 2019, PolitiFact took a swing at this conspiracy theory and knocked it out of the park. The theory itself began in a now-deleted Facebook post that was "flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed."

According to PolitiFact, all of the doppelgangers named in the original post "have very different backgrounds and were in very different locations, professional roles, and institutions than that of the crew members prior to the disaster."

Also (and we realize this isn't popular when it comes to conspiracy theories), most of it just doesn't add up. Why would these people fake their own deaths only to hide in plain sight without changing their names? PolitiFact also located four crew members in the Social Security Death Index. Their names and Social Security numbers matched the names and Social Security numbers of the crew members.

We get it, it's easier to come up with a conspiracy theory than mourn a tragedy, but why not try working through some emotions before taking to TikTok.
