April 15th... Tragedy beyind belief.
In a mere 20 minutes after scraping the iceberg
it was known that the ship would sink,
Despite the belief that it was unsinkable.
Minutes later the order was given to prepare the lifeboats, knowing that there was only
enough boats to save half the passengers.
The vast majority will perish in the freezing waters.
1,517 people will die... Only 703 survive.
Made worse by the fact that many were half empty.
As the boats were launched half empty,
The vast majority will perish in the freezing waters.
1,517 people will die... Only 703 survive.
Made worse by the fact that many were half empty.
As the boats were launched half empty,
many still believed that there ship could not sink,
and therefore didn't get into the lifeboats.
As Titanic slowly sinks... sheer terror.
Reports vary as to how many survived,
and how many perished.
