00:01Someone's been killed!
00:09My husband tried to join me in our lifeboat.
00:13Two men grabbed him.
00:17Officers were there with guns.
00:20He offered no resistance.
00:23And backed off back onto the ship.
00:27I began yelling and crying.
00:31As they wanted to join him on the sinking ship.
00:56He told me that apparently we'd struck something.
00:59Iceberg!
01:00Deadhead!
01:07I didn't become alarmed.
01:10There was no danger, they said.
01:13I told her to come at once, we were sinking.
01:22You can imagine the chaos and the fear and the terror of finding water in your cabin and you're in the bowels of the ship.
01:28It makes me panic just thinking about it.
01:32The story of the Titanic is the human condition spread out, pinned on a board for us to examine.
01:40Then came the terrible cry.
01:43Women and children, women and children.
01:46Cartwright!
01:48Two men lifted me up and put me in a boat.
01:50Move it, move it!
01:51It's these small decisions, these little butterfly effect moments that change the outcome.
01:55It really was every man for himself.
02:11My heart stood still.
02:12Hurry up!
02:13Pull!
02:14If we're gonna die, the best to die gripping something.
02:17It's a split second decision. What would you do? What would I do?
02:18It's a split second decision. What would you do? What would I do?
02:23Oh my God!
02:45It was a terrible son.
02:47Men swimming and sinking.
02:58I've been brought up to believe in a hell after death.
03:10For now, I think I went through a hell that night.
03:17I've been brought up to believe in a hell.
03:19Now I haveRISH.
03:21I've been looking for a while.
03:23I've been very present for a few years.
03:25I'd never seen any of them be referenced in the cinema.
03:27I've been drawing a fortune.
03:29I've been drawing a fortune on YouTube.
03:31I'm drawing a fortune where I used to sell a fortune.
03:33I've been with the kirk of Krimoyan.
03:35I've been drawing a fortune to theыв,
03:37and I've been drawing a fortune.
03:39I've been drawing a fortune for a while.
03:41I'm drawing a fortune to my baignard.
03:43I've been drawing a fortune in the next couple.
03:45I was working in the engineer, we got the order, all hands on deck.
04:14Put your life preservers on, the deck was full of male third-class passengers, the last
04:22boat was getting lowered.
04:27About this time I met all the engineers as they came trooping up from below, until that
04:34time they had loyally stuck to their guns.
04:44When the crew come up on deck, these guys who've worked so heroically to try to keep Titanic
04:50afloat, they expect that there will be a place for them in the lifeboats.
04:56And of course, that is not the case.
05:00British hierarchical society is always there to shaft the underdog.
05:07Those people who had risked their lives were not going to get any help at all.
05:13It was a bleak and hopeless spectacle that met their eyes.
05:19Empty falls hanging from every dove it had.
05:23Titanic has enough people on board that we're really seeing the whole range of reactions
05:40to facing death, from resignation to fight and flight to acting out of love and empathy
05:47to help other people.
05:50At this point, some people choose to do things that may look quite strange.
05:55One fellow said, go to the first cabin bar room.
06:00There was a steward filling up tumblers on a tray.
06:04He said, go on lads, drink up.
06:09She's going down.
06:14Some people prefer to stay in their cabin and let the waters rise up.
06:18Others go to the bar and just start drinking the place dry.
06:23Everyone has to choose to die in their own way, whatever that is.
06:27I was for going down into one of the first class cabins, but if how Matty wouldn't let
06:31me, Matty said to me, I'll have to jump for it.
06:44It makes me panic just thinking about it, because I can imagine the chaos and the fear.
06:54It's not fair, you know, when passengers embarked on this ship, they were told it was unsinkable.
07:00They probably didn't pay much mind to how many lifeboats there were, but now that it's
07:04of the most crucial importance to them, they see that they've been failed.
07:12Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews, the ship's designer, must have been in hell.
07:21This was their unsinkable ship.
07:25Thomas Andrews was trying to do something, because he is the architect of this disaster.
07:35Andrews was seen throwing steamer chairs into the water with the idea of actually helping
07:41those who got into the sea to have something to support them.
07:48It's very difficult to know what the captain's final moments were.
07:53During the Falklands War, I was a captain of a ship that was bombed, which I had to abandon,
07:58and so I know the pressures he was under.
08:01And I personally think that he probably stayed on the bridge and waited to meet his fate.
08:08But I think he would have been feeling to himself that he had failed in this last great appointment
08:12of his.
08:13There's something of the stiff upper lip happening here.
08:19But inside, there must be inner turmoil, because survival instinct is really powerful.
08:25And the captain is probably suppressing it as much as he can.
08:29The social codes of conduct fighting against that very ancient part of the brain, the primitive
08:35part that just drives us forward biologically.
08:39People just have that, the will to survive.
08:43The adrenaline system is working overtime, and they've almost got nothing to lose.
08:49I wanted to jump out and try to catch one of the empty lifeboat falls.
08:56Jack Thayer has been on a dream holiday in Europe with his parents.
09:03They've got separated in the crowds, and now that dream has become a nightmare.
09:07I couldn't just jump.
09:10We might hit wreckage or a steamer chair and be knocked unconscious.
09:14Milton dissuaded me.
09:17Milton Long, 29-year-old American law clerk, and Jack had struck up a conversation many hours
09:23earlier in the dining saloon, and now they find themselves facing this life-or-death moment
09:28together.
09:31So many thoughts passed through my mind.
09:35Thought of all the good times I'd had, of all the future pleasures I'd never enjoy.
09:46My father, my mother.
09:52I was watching myself as though from some far-off place.
09:59I sincerely pitied myself.
10:18Back in the wireless room, Jack Phillips has stuck to his post right to the end, even when
10:23Captain Smith has said it's every man for himself, because he believes he's doing something useful.
10:29He's spent the last few hours trying to communicate with other wireless operators, oblivious to
10:34everything going on around him.
10:36And his junior, Harold Bride, is deeply loyal to and respectful of Jack Phillips.
10:44The sea has almost reached the wireless room, and they have just minutes before it's filled
10:50with freezing water.
10:52I was back in my room, getting Phillips' money for him, and as I looked out the door, I saw a stoker, or somebody from below decks, slipping the lifebelt off his back.
11:06You know, I remembered in a flash, the way Phillips had clung on, how I'd had to fix that lifebelt in place because he was too busy to do it.
11:15I felt a passion not to let that man die a decent sailor's death.
11:26I did my duty.
11:34I hope I finished him, I don't know.
11:37We left him on the floor of the wireless cabin.
11:40He wasn't moving.
11:48I climbed on top of the officer's quarters.
11:51Yet I saw the last of Phillips.
11:55Jack Phillips is absolutely overwhelmed by the impossibility of this situation.
12:03He disappeared, walking aft.
12:09He doesn't say goodbye.
12:10He doesn't give any explanation.
12:11There's no clap on the back to his junior.
12:13He's done everything.
12:14There's nothing more to do.
12:16The man is ready to die.
12:18At this stage, all of the lifeboats on the boat deck have been launched, and of course there's a panic that there are no lifeboats left.
12:37But there is actually two more stashed away on the roof of the officer's quarters.
12:43Collapsible A and B.
12:44I saw the boat and the men trying to push it off.
12:59They couldn't do it.
13:01I went up to them, lend them a hand.
13:07The collapsible lifeboats were very much a secondary option, which would need to be rigged so they could be used.
13:16Now the crew are trying to launch them in increasingly difficult and desperate conditions.
13:21Just then the ship took a slight but definite plunge.
13:31The sea came rolling up the wave.
13:35A large wave washes collapsible A and B overboard.
13:40You've just been given that hope, but in amongst the chaos, the lifeboats are stolen from you by the elements.
13:46And that is just devastating.
13:50The big wave carried the boat off.
13:54I had hold of an oarlock and went off with it.
14:01Water was washing right across the deck.
14:04And we were in water right to our hips.
14:07Another lurch threw myself off and away from the ship into the water.
14:15I fell into a mass of people.
14:22I was underwater and knew I had to fight for it.
14:28The temperature in the water is minus two degrees.
14:31So as soon as that cold water hits the body, there's a shock reaction.
14:35And the mind is reacting in a state of panic.
14:41Everything I touched seemed to be woman's hair.
14:47Children crying.
14:51Women screaming.
14:54Their hair in my face.
14:55If only I could forget those hands and faces that I touched.
15:02The ship was sinking on its head very quickly.
15:12The water was right up to the bridge.
15:14The crowd moved with it.
15:16Pushing towards the stern.
15:17The sight that doesn't bear dwelling on.
15:18To stand there above the wheelhouse.
15:19Watching the frantic struggles to climb up the sloping deck.
15:22Unable to even hold out a helping hand.
15:24We were a mass of hopeless, dazed humanity.
15:25Trying to keep our final breath until the last possible moment.
15:27We were a mass of hopeless, dazed humanity.
15:31Trying to keep our final breath until the last possible moment.
15:32I knew the futility of following that instinct for self-preservation.
15:37It would only be postponing the plunge and prolonging the agony.
15:39I knew the futility of following that instinct for self-preservation.
15:48It would only be postponing the plunge and prolonging the agony.
15:54I nuked the futility of following that instinct for self-preservation.
16:02It would only be postponing the plunge and prolonging the agony.
16:10Turning to the bridge, I took a header.
16:18Striking the water was like a thousand knives being driven into one's body.
16:24For a few moments, I completely lost grip of myself.
16:33We were at the starboard rail to keep away from the crowd.
16:38The ship began to shoot down fast, the water rushing up towards us.
16:44We had no time to think, only to act.
16:49We wish each other luck.
16:54Then we jumped up on the rail.
16:58Milton looked up at me and he said,
17:02You're coming, boy, aren't you?
17:03And I said, go ahead.
17:15I'll be with you in a minute.
17:20And then you'll let go.
17:20The people who choose to jump are ultimately the people who take some form of control
17:35in a situation where you are powerless.
17:37We were about five minutes away from the ship.
17:57But we could still see it as the light stayed on.
18:05The ship stood almost on its nose, slowly sinking.
18:10I think the people on the Titanic were yelling and crying.
18:20I could see some of them as I jumped into the water.
18:22I found myself drawn against the grating, covering a ventilator.
18:42The pressure of the water glued me there.
18:48The shaft led to a stokehold, a sheer drop of 100 feet right to the bottom of the ship.
18:57I struggled and kicked for all I was worth.
18:59It was impossible to get away.
19:04As fast as I pushed myself off, I was dragged back.
19:09Every instant expecting the wire to go.
19:14To find myself shot down into the bowels of the ship.
19:23The shock of the water took the breath from my lungs.
19:25Down and down I went, spinning in all directions.
19:31The cold was terrific.
19:34Most people think of drowning in a circumstance like this.
19:38It is that ultimately your body runs out of energy.
19:40But actually you can drown as soon as you first hit freezing water.
19:44There's something called cold water shock.
19:47And part of the reaction is to have a big intake of breath.
19:50And that prepares you for action.
19:52In the case of hitting cold water, it's not in your favour to have a sharp intake of breath.
19:58Some may have cardiac arrest almost immediately because of the shock.
20:05I was still fighting when a blast of hot air came up the shaft
20:09and blew me right away from the air shaft and up to the surface.
20:13Finally I came up.
20:22My lungs bursting.
20:27The ship was in front of me.
20:30Suddenly the second funnel seemed to be lifted off.
20:32The funnel started to fall right amongst the struggling mass of humanity already in the water.
20:46It missed me by only 20 to 30 feet.
20:49The suction of it drew me down.
20:50Those poor people were sucked down in those funnels.
21:00Like flies.
21:04As I came to the surface, my hand came against something.
21:09One of the collapsible lifeboats.
21:10It was floating in the water, bottom side up.
21:13About four or five men clinging on to her.
21:18So I asked them to give me a hand up, which they did.
21:23Sitting on my haunches, holding on for dear life.
21:26It seemed as though hours had passed since I left the ship.
21:29People like Jack and Officer Lightoller are swarming onto the collapsible bee upside down,
21:38using it like a raft in the freezing water, just as a way of trying to survive.
21:44The end was very close.
22:01Something in the bowels of the Titanic exploded and sparks shot up to the sky.
22:08Two other explosions followed, dull and heavy, as if below the surface.
22:17The impact was so great, it shook the waters, and we thought our lifeboat would sink.
22:24Everyone screamed.
22:28The huge weight of seawater in the bows and in the stern
22:32meant that the two things were unable to remain as one part.
22:36The whole superstructure of the ship seemed to split.
22:41The lights suddenly go out, and then darkness falls.
22:56The Titanic broke in two before my eyes.
22:59The forepart wallowed over and disappeared instantly.
23:03The ship seemed to right herself, like a hurt animal with a broken back.
23:15The strange hallucinatory moment, it looks as though everything's going to be fine,
23:21because the weird, wonky, distorted angles of the great ship start to settle.
23:30There's people that think some sort of safety feature has kicked in.
23:33You know, at least this half of the ship is going to somehow survive,
23:37and those on board are going to be spared.
23:38But ultimately, that is short-lived.
23:44I saw the Titanic go up in the air.
23:47Ever so big.
23:50Huge ship reared herself on end.
23:54Rudder and propeller clear of the water.
23:56We saw groups of the 1,500 people still aboard, clinging like swarming bees.
24:11The contents of the Titanic is now falling through it.
24:18And tragically, people as well.
24:20I think it was only at that moment that many of those poor souls on board realized their fate.
24:27If we're going to die, I said, it would be best to die gripping something.
24:36We gripped the rail.
24:49Sharp exclamation from my husband.
24:53My God, she is going now.
24:58The steamer without a sound.
25:02Except for the shrieks of the people still on board.
25:08Stood right on end.
25:13It stood there several moments and slid straight down into the water.
25:22As easily as a pebble in a pond.
25:27Our proud ship.
25:30Our beautiful Titanic.
25:45Everyone around me on the upturned boat breathed the two words...
26:04She's gone.
26:16I did not wish to see her go down.
26:20I'm glad that I did not.
26:21My back was turned to her.
26:28We were pulling away.
26:32This is his ship.
26:33This is his company.
26:34And there is intense professional and personal shame here.
26:39I think that was just too overwhelming for him to be able to look.
26:49Probably a minute passed with almost dead silence and quiet.
26:53Then an unforgettable cry went up from fifteen hundred despairing throats.
27:09Bedlam of shrieks and cries.
27:11A nightmare of both sight and sound.
27:20Hearing desperate disembodied voices in the darkness of the ocean.
27:25A cacophony of tears and shouts and despair.
27:34It's almost like a soundscape of hell.
27:37Potentially it's your husband, your brother, your father, your loved one's voices.
27:42I don't know how you recover from that.
27:46I've never...
27:49heard such screams...
27:54from the hundreds of people...
27:57floating about us.
28:05They were piercing.
28:12It was a horrible row.
28:30One young man near me shouted...
28:33Mother.
28:33Mother.
28:37The man along the side of me...
28:40clutched me round the neck.
28:45I choked him off.
28:50Nobody knows how they'll react in that circumstance.
28:53You're surrounded by others in a panic with you.
28:56You begin to lose the function of your arms, the function of your legs,
29:00the thing that you need to keep afloat.
29:02And that can happen extremely quickly because that body's reaction to keep your vital organs warm
29:09is so powerful.
29:10And it's painful.
29:11Like, you are being tortured, essentially.
29:18The people in the lifeboats are sitting and listening to others die.
29:24And everyone's response to that trauma situation will be different.
29:28You chatted of little unimportant things, as people do when they've been through great mental strain.
29:39Try to make feeble jokes.
29:41I remember I teased Miss Frankatelli.
29:46Just fancy.
29:47You left your beautiful nightdress behind you.
29:53And we all laughed.
29:58Though in our hearts we felt very far from laughter.
30:00Never you mind, madam.
30:07You were lucky to come away with your lives, said one of the sailors.
30:12Don't you bother about anything you had to leave behind you.
30:15Lucy's comments sound tone deaf to us, but I think they're a trauma response.
30:24It is far easier to comprehend the loss of a beautiful piece of clothing,
30:32she's a fashion designer, of course,
30:33of course, than it is to wrap their heads around the extraordinary horror of the loss of human life
30:42that they're seeing before them.
30:47For those in the water, a fatal countdown has begun.
30:51Once severe hypothermia sets in, you've got about 15 minutes until you'll become unconscious.
30:59When I was wounded in Afghanistan, I knew that that helicopter was coming.
31:06But if you don't know that a rescue is imminent, how long are you capable of holding on for?
31:12A large number of people gave up the struggle and were content to die.
31:17For the water was so cold and there seemed no help but rescue.
31:25When the darkness starts to creep in on you, that's when you have to have a real word with yourself
31:30and remind yourself that you still have some fight in you.
31:32I swam as always in a race.
31:42I got myself away from the crowd.
31:46Behind me, there was the horrible volume of groans, which...
31:53I can hear them now.
31:54I came up to me chum, John Bannon, and I said,
32:03Cheerio, Johnny.
32:05And he said,
32:08Am I right?
32:12Then he told me he had seen a flashlight some distance away and pointed out the direction.
32:19And then, as I went off, I cried out.
32:23Not so long, Johnny.
32:34Poor chap.
32:38He was drowned.
32:50It was a terrible sight all around.
32:53Men swimming and sinking.
32:55I saw a boat of some kind and I put all my strength into an effort to swim to it.
33:01It was hard work.
33:03I was all done when a hand reached from the boat and pulled me aboard.
33:10Collapse will be that had been stored on the roof of the officers' quarters was washed off deck
33:18and is now the last hope of the men who jump from the Titanic.
33:24Among the 30 men on collapse will be, we have Howard Bride, Jack Thayer, Eugene Daly and Charles Lightover.
33:34Others came near. Nobody gave them a hand.
33:36The bottom-up boat already had more men than it would hold and was sinking.
33:43We were very low in the water, standing, sitting, kneeling, lying in all conceivable positions.
33:51People came up beside us and begged us to get on this upturned boat.
33:58Saving ourselves, we were obliged to push them off.
34:02One man was alongside us and asked if he could get up on top of it.
34:11We told him that if he did, we would all go down.
34:17His reply was, God bless you. Goodbye.
34:20To look another human being in the eye and say to them, you're going to have to perish.
34:29Like that is an impossible thing, not just to live through in the moment, but then to have to live with.
34:34Yes.
34:38There are 1,500 people in ice-cold water in the Atlantic, and there are some lifeboats that are full to capacity, and there's nothing they can do.
34:48But there are many others that are even less than half full.
34:52There are less than 700 people in the lifeboats.
34:57Because the 18 lifeboats are not a capacity, there's still space for over 400 people.
35:03It could save them from almost certain death.
35:09Within the lifeboats, there's an intense dilemma.
35:12Do they go back and save people, or do they stay at a safe distance so that they don't get overcrowded and everyone in that lifeboat end up in the water?
35:22These boats are fragile. They're in the middle of this vast sea.
35:27There's already been tragic and terrible, huge loss of life.
35:31This is their one and only chance to survive.
35:36Three times an officer ordered his men to turn about.
35:41But each time they were prevented from doing so by some of the passengers.
35:45They grasped the oars so that the seamen were forced to give up turning back to rescue any of the unfortunates.
35:55In the Duff Gordon boat, one of the crew members says it's up to us to go back and see if we can pick anyone up.
36:06The Duff Gordons object.
36:08They say they'll be swamped and they persuade the crew not to go back.
36:13At the later inquiry, Cosmo Duff Gordon said,
36:17it's difficult to say what occurred to me.
36:19I was minding my wife and we were in a rather abnormal condition, you know.
36:23I find it chilling that the Duff Gordons are just openly hostile to letting anyone in their lifeboat.
36:32All along, they have been given privileges that other people haven't been given.
36:36And to die slowly in ice cold water within earshot of people who might save your life,
36:44I think there's a particular cruelty to that.
36:50Men and women were going to their death beneath the icy waters of the Atlantic,
36:55but I noticed in a hazy, detached sort of way.
37:02I'd gone through too much in those aisles to think clearly.
37:06Lucy's talking about trauma here.
37:09She's talking about going through so much emotion that she's effectively shutting down.
37:14She's so traumatized, she's not able to get out of her own experience enough
37:20to engage with what those people in the water are going through at that time.
37:29Partially filled lifeboats standing by, only a few hundred yards away, never came back.
37:36Why on earth they did not come back is a mystery.
37:43How could any human being fail to heed those cries?
37:46I think it is extremely unfortunate the lifeboats didn't go in and start to rescue people.
37:56They were willing to sit with people screaming and dying in the water, and I find that quite surprising.
38:01We're highly attuned to other people's emotional expressions.
38:05Out on the lifeboats, it's dark and they're quite far away.
38:09So not seeing those faces may be one way of distancing themselves from that suffering.
38:15I became so numb I could hardly swim.
38:25My head was so queer.
38:26But when I was almost at my last gasp, I shouted,
38:34Boats are high!
38:38Only off chance that one might be near.
38:41I had room for a dozen more people in my boat.
38:49But it was dark.
38:54We didn't pick up any swimmers.
38:55We all like to think that we'd be the noble one that does the right thing.
39:04But that's not how survival works.
39:07Ultimately, as human beings, we are animals who have survived.
39:10That's how we've evolved to be what we are.
39:12So survival instinct is absolutely within our DNA.
39:15And so you have no idea what you are capable of until you are pushed to an extreme.
39:21Disasters reveal an aspect of your personality that you might not know is there.
39:26And you might not like being there.
39:28To save your own life, to let hundreds of people die,
39:31I think that's something that would weigh heavily on you for the rest of your life.
39:37Perhaps a thousand.
39:40Perhaps more.
39:40I've gotten down with her.
39:56There's a cluster of lifeboats closer to where the Titanic went down,
40:01including lifeboats 14 and 4.
40:04And this is a kind of case of right place, right time for some people in the water.
40:09Fortunately, my shout was heard.
40:13Over here!
40:15I was hauled into lifeboat number four.
40:19About seven people are rescued because of that boat, including Thomas Dillon.
40:26I think I'd been 20 minutes in the water.
40:31I was told afterwards I was unconscious for a long time.
40:34I was not properly right when I came to.
40:41Thomas Dillon survived because he's young and he's fit.
40:44But by the time he's picked up by the lifeboat, he's got early symptoms of hypothermia.
40:50I would rather die a hundred times than go through such an experience again.
41:09Mr. Lowe went in search of other lifeboats.
41:18He found four or five and took command of the little fleet.
41:22The whole of you are under my orders.
41:25Lifeboat 14 is very full.
41:27But Lowe realises that actually if this group works together,
41:31they have a chance of being able to launch a rescue mission.
41:36He ordered that the boat should be linked together with ropes to prevent any drifting away.
41:44You're able to redistribute those passengers and they actually free up an entire lifeboat,
41:49which allows them to go in and search for survivors.
41:55I went with just the boat's crew, no passengers.
42:00Of course, I had to wait for the yells and shrieks to subside,
42:06for the people to thin out.
42:10Officer Lowe is very aware of the potential risks.
42:14You can be capsized when trying to pull survivors into the vessel.
42:18The vessel can be swamped, but they choose to go back.
42:22They're not just survivors in this moment.
42:25They continue to be crewmen.
42:26Their sense of service, particularly those that had a military background,
42:31ultimately outweighs their sense of survival.
42:35Your training just kicks in and you have a responsibility to those around you,
42:39even before yourself.
42:40I searched the wreck thoroughly and found four persons.
42:45One was a Mr. Hoyt from New York.
42:52He was bleeding from the mouth.
42:55I loosened his shirt so as to give him every chance to breathe.
43:00But unfortunately, he died.
43:05I suppose he was too far gone when we picked him up.
43:10Most of those who jumped in the sea died within a quarter of an hour.
43:19The awful moaning ceased after that.
43:24We saw nothing but ice and dead bodies.
43:26I remember the very last cry.
43:34It was a man's voice calling loudly.
43:40My God.
43:42My God.
43:43I think it would have been very haunting to slowly hear fewer and fewer voices.
43:55And that's one of the most traumatic memories that people had, is the sound of those screams.
44:00The air was leaking from under the boat, lowering us further and further into the icy water.
44:21Soaking wet, freezing, the pack of huddled men on collapsible beat, have survived so many odds.
44:31But that's all for nothing if nobody comes to your rescue.
44:34And they don't know if that's coming.
44:36Some lost consciousness and slipped overboard.
44:47Every wave threatened to swamp us.
44:50The problem with trying to stay on an upside down boat, which you're now using as a raft, is that it's not stable.
44:55This is a balancing act, literally, to save your life.
45:00Every bit of strength and spirit from every one of those men on that boat raft was going to be about staying alive.
45:09Their class differences ceased to be important.
45:13We've got men from first class, men from third, crew members united by this will to survive.
45:20We prayed and sang hymns.
45:23Harold Bride helped keep our hopes up.
45:29He said time and time again, the Carpathia is coming as fast as she can.
45:33The Carpathia is coming as fast as she can.
45:40Lighthuller found his whistle.
45:45After desperate calling, we got the attention of the other lifeboats.
45:50Two of the boats realized the position we were in and drew toward us.
46:00They had a right side up boat, and it was full to its capacity.
46:08Yet they came to us and loaded us all into it.
46:18Officer Boxall took some green flares from the bridge, and now he's lighting them, hoping that he will attract the attention of the approaching rescue vessel.
46:35Time will be standing still.
46:41All they can do is sit in the boats and wait.
46:44About this time, the edge of the sun came above the horizon.
47:02To feel that glowing warmth, which we'd never expected to see again, that's something never to be forgotten.
47:14I have no idea of the passage of time during that awful night.
47:27We were all very tired when we saw a big light.
47:44Suddenly a flicker of hope.
47:45A ship getting closer every minute.
47:52Coming towards the site of the wreck and the lifeboats bobbing about in this freezing, empty sea, finally, is the Carpathian.
48:03She's come as fast as she could through the ice flows, through the night, responding to Jack Phillips' distress calls.
48:11Nothing has ever looked so good to me as the lights from the Carpathia.
48:26Even through my numbness, I began to realize I was saved.
48:35I would live.
48:44She stopped maybe four miles away.
48:49The task of rowing over to her was one of the hardest things we had to face.
48:56At last, the Carpathia was alongside and people were being taken up by rope ladder.
49:16One man was dead.
49:19I passed him and went up the ladder.
49:26The dead man was Phillips.
49:33He had died on the raft of exposure and cold, I guess.
49:36He stood his ground until the crisis had passed, then he collapsed.
49:49Only I could have slipped more clothing on Phillips.
49:51We're just saved him.
50:08When I was wounded, three people lost their lives.
50:11So I know what it's like to trawl over in your head that, what could I have done?
50:16And ultimately,
50:19life is unpredictable.
50:21You know, you live or you die.
50:24And you cannot change that fate.
50:27But learning to live with that,
50:29it takes time.
50:37No survivor
50:40knows better than either.
50:43Cruelty of disappointment.
50:45I had a husband to search for.
50:54A husband whom I believed would be found in one of the boats.
50:59He was not there.
51:16I let myself be saved.
51:21Because I believed he too would escape.
51:25I sometimes envy those
51:35whom no human power could tear them
51:41from their husband's arms.
51:47What do you remember of the Carpathia?
51:49Uh, consoling.
51:58And being consoled.
52:05My friends, they were all among the missing when the role was called.
52:08The loss affected me badly.
52:25The big narrative is always going to be about heroism and loss and sacrifice.
52:29But the Titanic was a disaster.
52:36These are real people's lives that are lost.
52:40Real people who suffer.
52:41I want
52:57mostly
52:57and
52:58��요.
53:01Um
53:02and
53:04people
53:05The engineers were the heroes, I think.
53:20They kept going until minutes before the Titanic ran out of sight.
53:25Not a man of them was saved.
53:26In 1912, it was taken for granted that the price of a first-class ticket included a greater likelihood of surviving.
53:40It was seen as a reflection of the natural order.
53:46What the Titanic teaches us is what happens when people's lives are given unequal value.
53:53Every element, from your breakfast to how you're treated in an emergency, all of that is impacted by class and hierarchy and status.
54:04This happened in an age where the British stiff upper lip was stiffer than ever.
54:10But the reality is, it doesn't matter how resilient you think you are, sometimes we're just not capable of processing that level of horror.
54:19Personal trauma was not recognised. You just suffered and you carried on.
54:23Those people who survived, they were just now going to have to pick up their lives as best they could and manage.
54:30These are searing memories that never leave them.
54:34And the grief was huge.
54:37But I like to imagine that there were those who felt that this encounter with death
54:42made them live the rest of their days more fully
54:46and that they owed it to those who died to live.
54:49Oh my gosh, that's a few hours later.
54:51That was terrifying.
55:00I'm a little bit happy.
55:02But now there are not quite to기를 saying that the truth is what tocar perhaps were brought to you.
55:04I'm a little bit afraid of digging in it only.
55:07You đầuiahs go on.
55:08But anyway, I've said yes, definitely.
55:10You the thing?
55:10You counsellors take 건 of Anfang D 얼�ands and 되지.
