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?
02:23That was a terrible sight. Men swimming and sinking.
02:26That was a terrible sight.
02:31Men, swimming and sinking.
02:34You're tired of enjoying theio, yes.
02:37I am going to get up as the country.
02:39Glatz...
02:40Miss one, Miss...
02:43I am going to get to heaven.
02:46Canaan am going away!!!
02:51Bulgaria in the country,
02:53I've been brought up to believe in a hell after death.
03:10For now, I think I went through a hell that night.
03:23I'm struggling with my sleep.
03:26I'll be there again in the next a while.
03:34I still have to have to do some more.
03:38I'm still alone in the next a while.
03:43I'm having to be with you.
03:48I was working in the engineering.
04:11We got the order, all hands on deck, put your life preservers on.
04:15And the deck was full of male third-class passengers.
04:22The last boat was getting lowered.
04:26About this time, I met all the engineers as they came trooping up from below.
04:33Until that time, they had loyally stuck to their guns.
04:37When the crew come up on deck, these guys who've worked so heroically to try to keep Titanic afloat,
04:50they 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.
05:05Those 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.
05:23Not a hope for any of them.
05:25Titanic has enough people on board that we're really seeing the whole range of reactions to facing death.
05:41From resignation, to fight and flight, to acting out of love and empathy to help other people.
05:48And at this point, some people choose to do things that may look quite strange.
05:53One fellow said, go to the first cabin bar room.
05:59There was a steward filling up tumblers on a tray.
06:04He said, go on lads, drink up.
06:08She's going down.
06:09Some 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.
06:22Everyone has to choose to die in their own way, whatever that is.
06:25I was for going down into one of the first-class cabins, but if how Matty wouldn't let me...
06:33Matty said to me...
06:36..I'll have to jump for it.
06:45It makes me panic just thinking about it, because I can imagine the chaos and the fear.
06:50It's not fair, you know, when passengers embarked on this ship.
06:59They were told it was unsinkable.
07:00They probably didn't pay much mind to how many lifeboats there were,
07:03but now that it's of the most crucial importance to them,
07:06they see that they've been failed.
07:08Captain 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,
07:28because he is the architect of this disaster.
07:32Andrews was seen throwing steamer chairs into the water
07:38with the idea of actually helping those who got into the sea
07:42to 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,
07:57which I had to abandon,
07:58and so I know the pressures he was under,
08:00and I personally think that he probably stayed on the bridge
08:04and waited to meet his fate.
08:07But I think he would have been feeling to himself
08:10that he had failed in this last great appointment of his.
08:16There's something of the stiff upper lip happening here,
08:19but inside there must be inner turmoil,
08:22because 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
08:31that very ancient part of the brain,
08:33the primitive part that just drives us forward biologically.
08:39People just have that, the will to survive.
08:42The adrenaline system is working overtime,
08:45and they've almost got nothing to lose.
08:47I 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.
09:02They've got separated in the crowds,
09:05and now that dream has become a nightmare.
09:08Couldn't just jump.
09:10We might hit wreckage or a steamer chair
09:12and be knocked unconscious.
09:14Milton dissuaded me.
09:17Milton Long, 29-year-old American law clerk,
09:20and Jack had struck up a conversation
09:22many hours earlier in the dining saloon,
09:25and now they find themselves
09:26facing this life-or-death moment together.
09:29So many thoughts passed through my mind.
09:35Thought of all the good times I'd had.
09:38Of all the future pleasures I'd never enjoy.
09:45My father.
09:49My mother.
09:49I was watching myself as though from some far-off place.
09:59Sincerely pitied myself.
10:00Back in the wireless room,
10:19Jack Phillips has stuck to his post right to the end,
10:22even when Captain Smith has said it's every man for himself,
10:25because he believes he's doing something useful.
10:28He's spent the last few hours trying to communicate
10:31with other wireless operators,
10:33oblivious to everything going on around him.
10:37And his junior, Harold Bride,
10:38is deeply loyal to and respectful of Jack Phillips.
10:43The sea has almost reached the wireless room,
10:47and they have just minutes before it's filled with freezing water.
10:52I was back in my room, getting Phillips' money for him,
10:55and as I looked out the door,
10:58I saw a stoker or somebody from below decks
11:02slipping the life belt off his back.
11:06You know, I remembered in a flash
11:07the way Phillips had clung on,
11:09how I'd had to fix that life belt in place
11:11because he was too busy to do it.
11:14I felt a passion not to let that man die
11:16a decent sailor's death.
11:18I 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.
11:41I climbed on top of the officer's quarters.
11:51Yet I saw the last of Phillips.
11:55Jack Phillips is absolutely overwhelmed
11:57by the impossibility of this situation.
12:02He, uh, disappeared, walking aft.
12:06He doesn't say goodbye, he doesn't give any explanation,
12:11there's no clap on the back to his junior.
12:13He's done everything.
12:15There's nothing more to do.
12:16The man is ready to die.
12:18At this stage, all the lifeboats on the boat deck
12:33have been launched,
12:34and, of course, there's a panic
12:35that there are no lifeboats left.
12:38But there is actually two more stashed away
12:40on the roof of the officer's quarters.
12:43Collapsible A and B.
12:48I saw the boat and the men trying to push it off.
12:59They couldn't do it.
13:01I went up to them,
13:03lending a hand.
13:06The collapsible lifeboats were very much
13:09a secondary option,
13:10which would need to be rigged
13:11so they could be used.
13:12Now, the crew are trying to launch them
13:18in increasingly difficult and desperate conditions.
13:24Just then, the ship took a slight but definite plunge.
13:30The sea came rolling up.
13:33In a large wave,
13:36washes collapsible A and B overboard.
13:38You've just been given that hope,
13:41but in amongst the chaos,
13:43the lifeboats are just stolen from you
13:44by the elements,
13:46and that is just devastating.
13:50The big wave carried the boat off.
13:51I had hold of an oarlock
13:55and went off with it.
14:00Water was washing right across the deck,
14:04and we were in water right to our hips.
14:08Another lurch threw myself off
14:10and away from the ship into the water.
14:15I fell into a mass of people.
14:17I was underwater
14:23and knew I had to fight for it.
14:28The temperature in the water
14:29is minus two degrees,
14:32so as soon as that cold water hits the body,
14:34there's a shock reaction,
14:36and the mind is reacting
14:37in a state of panic.
14:41Everything I touched
14:42seemed to be
14:44woman's hair.
14:45Children crying.
14:50Women screaming.
14:54Their hair in my face.
14:59If only I could forget
15:01those hands and faces
15:02that I touched.
15:03the ship was sinking
15:16on its head very quickly.
15:18The water was right up to the bridge.
15:21The crowd moved with it,
15:23pushing towards the stern.
15:27The site that doesn't bear dwelling on.
15:28To stand there above the wheelhouse,
15:33watching the frantic struggles
15:35to climb up the sloping deck,
15:38unable to even
15:39hold out a helping hand.
15:42We were a mass of hopeless,
15:48dazed humanity,
15:50trying to keep our final breath
15:52until the last possible moment.
15:56I knew the futility
15:57of following that instinct
15:58for self-preservation.
16:02It would only be
16:03postponing the plunge
16:04and prolonging the agony.
16:07turning to the bridge,
16:12I took a header.
16:18Striking the water
16:19was like a thousand knives
16:22being driven into one's body.
16:24For a few moments,
16:25I completely lost grip of myself.
16:28We were at the starboard rail
16:35to keep away from the crowd.
16:38The ship
16:39began to shoot down fast.
16:42The water rushing up towards us.
16:44We had no time to think,
16:46only to act.
16:47We wished each other luck.
16:53Then we jumped up on the rail.
16:55Milton looked up at me
16:59and he said,
17:00you're coming, boy, aren't you?
17:12And I said,
17:13go ahead.
17:16I'll be with you in a minute.
17:20Then he'll let go.
17:25The people who choose to jump
17:31are ultimately
17:32the people who take
17:33some form of control
17:35in a situation
17:36where you are powerless.
17:53We were about
17:54five minutes
17:55away from the ship.
17:59But we could still see it
18:01as the light stayed on.
18:05The ship stood almost
18:07on its nose,
18:09slowly sinking.
18:11The people
18:12on the Titanic
18:14were yelling
18:16and crying.
18:19I could see some of them
18:21as I jumped into the water.
18:22I found myself
18:38drawn
18:39against the grating
18:41covering a ventilator.
18:44The pressure of the water
18:46glued me there.
18:47The shaft
18:49led to a stokehold
18:51at sheer drop
18:53of 100 feet
18:54right to the bottom
18:55of the ship.
18:56I struggled
18:58and kicked
18:58for all I was worth.
19:01It was impossible
19:02to get away.
19:04As fast as I
19:05pushed myself off,
19:06I was dragged back.
19:09Every instant
19:10expecting the wire to go.
19:11to find myself
19:14shot down
19:15into the bowels
19:16of the ship.
19:19The shock of the water
19:24took the breath
19:24from my lungs.
19:27Down and down
19:28I went,
19:29spinning in all directions.
19:31The cold
19:32was terrific.
19:32Most people think
19:35of drowning
19:36in a circumstance
19:37like this.
19:38It is that ultimately
19:39your body runs out
19:40of energy.
19:40But actually
19:41you can drown
19:42as soon as you first
19:43hit freezing water.
19:45There's something
19:45called cold water
19:46shock.
19:47Part of the reaction
19:48is to have a big
19:49intake of breath
19:50and that prepares
19:51you for action.
19:52In the case of
19:52hitting cold water,
19:54it's not in your favour
19:55to have a sharp
19:56intake of breath.
19:58Some may have
19:59cardiac arrest
20:00almost immediately
20:01because of the shock.
20:02I was still fighting
20:06when a blast
20:07of hot air
20:08came up the shaft
20:09and blew me
20:10right away
20:10from the air shaft
20:11and up to the surface.
20:21Finally,
20:22I came up,
20:23my lungs
20:23bursting.
20:27The ship
20:28was in front of me.
20:30Suddenly,
20:30the second funnel
20:31seemed to be lifted
20:32off.
20:36The funnel
20:37started to fall
20:38right amongst
20:39the struggling
20:41mass of humanity
20:42already in the water.
20:45It missed me
20:46by only
20:4720 to 30 feet.
20:49The suction
20:49of it drew me down.
20:50those poor people
20:54were sucked down
20:56in those funnels
20:57like flies.
21:04As I came
21:05to the surface,
21:06my hand came
21:07against something.
21:09One of the
21:09collapsible lifeboats.
21:11It was floating
21:11in the water
21:12bottom side up.
21:15About four or five men
21:16clinging on to her.
21:18So I asked them
21:19to give me a hand up,
21:20which they did.
21:23Sitting on my haunches,
21:24holding on
21:25for dear life,
21:27it seemed as though
21:27hours had passed
21:28since I left the ship.
21:32People like Jack
21:33and Officer Lightoller
21:34are swarming
21:35onto collapsible B
21:37upside down,
21:38using it like a raft
21:39in the freezing water,
21:41just as a way
21:42of trying to survive.
21:56The end
21:57was very
21:58close.
22:01Something
22:02in the bowels
22:04of the Titanic
22:04exploded
22:05and sparks
22:06shot up to the sky.
22:09Two other
22:09explosions followed,
22:11dull and heavy,
22:13as if below
22:14the surface.
22:16The impact
22:18was so great
22:19it shook
22:19the waters
22:20and we thought
22:22our lifeboat
22:22would sink.
22:24Everyone screamed.
22:28The huge
22:29weight of seawater
22:30in the bows
22:31and in the stern
22:32meant that the
22:33two things were
22:33unable to remain
22:35as one part.
22:36The whole
22:37superstructure
22:38of the ship
22:38seemed to split.
22:41the lights
22:42suddenly go out
22:43and then
22:44darkness falls.
22:55The Titanic
22:57broke in two
22:57before my eyes.
22:59The forepart
23:00mulled over
23:01and disappeared
23:02instantly.
23:03The ship
23:05seemed to
23:06right herself
23:08like a hurt
23:10animal
23:10with a broken
23:11back.
23:15The strange
23:16hallucinatory
23:17moment
23:18it looks as though
23:19everything's going
23:20to be fine
23:21because
23:22the weird
23:23wonky
23:24distorted
23:24angles
23:25of the great
23:26ship
23:27start to settle.
23:29There's people
23:30that think
23:31some sort
23:31of safety
23:32feature
23:33has kicked
23:33in.
23:34You know
23:34at least
23:34this half
23:35of the ship
23:35is going
23:36to somehow
23:36survive
23:37and those
23:37on board
23:38are going
23:38to be spared
23:38but ultimately
23:40that is
23:40short-lived.
23:41I saw
23:44the Titanic
23:45go up
23:45in the air
23:46ever so
23:48big.
23:50A huge
23:51ship
23:51reared
23:52herself
23:53on end
23:53rather than
23:55propeller
23:55clear of
23:56the water
23:56till at
23:58last
23:58she assumed
23:59a
23:59perpendicular
24:01position.
24:04We saw
24:05groups
24:05of the
24:061500
24:07people
24:07still
24:07aboard
24:08clinging
24:09like
24:09swarming
24:10bees.
24:14The contents
24:15of the
24:15Titanic
24:15is now
24:16falling
24:17through it
24:18and tragically
24:19people as
24:20well.
24:21I think
24:21it was only
24:22at that
24:22moment
24:22that
24:23many of
24:24those
24:24poor
24:24souls
24:25on board
24:25realised
24:27their fate.
24:29If we're
24:30gonna die
24:30I said
24:31it would
24:32be best
24:32to die
24:32gripping
24:33something.
24:36We
24:36gripped
24:36the rail.
24:40sharp
24:49exclamation
24:50from my
24:50husband
24:51my
24:53god
24:53she is
24:55going
24:55now.
24:58The
24:58steamer
24:59without a
24:59sound
25:00except for
25:03the shrieks
25:04of the people
25:04still on
25:05board
25:05stood right
25:09on end
25:09stood there
25:14several moments
25:15and slid
25:17straight down
25:18into the water
25:19as easily
25:23as a pebble
25:24in a pond
25:24our proud
25:28ship
25:29our
25:31beautiful
25:33Titanic

26:36professional
26:37and personal
26:38shame
26:39here
26:39I think
26:41that was
26:41just
26:42too
26:43overwhelming
26:43for him
26:44to be
26:44able to
26:44look
26:45probably a
26:49minute
26:50passed
26:50with almost
26:51dead
26:52silence
26:52and
26:52quiet
26:53then
26:58an
26:59unforgettable
27:00cry
27:00went up
27:01from
27:011500
27:03despairing
27:05throats
27:05bedlam of
27:10shrieks
27:10and cries
27:11a nightmare
27:15of both
27:16sight and
27:17sound
27:17hearing
27:21desperate
27:22disembodied
27:23voices
27:23in the
27:24darkness
27:24of the
27:25ocean
27:25a
27:28cacophony
27:29of
27:29tears
27:30and shouts
27:31and
27:32despair
27:33it's almost
27:35like a
27:35soundscape
27:35of hell
27:36potentially
27:37it's your
27:38husband
27:39your brother
27:39your father
27:40your loved
27:41one's
27:41voices
27:42I don't know
27:43how you
27:43recover
27:44from that
27:44I've never
27:47heard such
27:50screams
27:51from the
27:54hundreds of
27:55people
27:55floating
27:58about us
27:59they were
28:05piercing
28:06it was
28:23horrible
28:24row
28:24one
28:30young
28:30man
28:30near me
28:31shouting
28:31mother
28:33a man
28:38alongside me
28:39clutched me
28:41round the
28:41neck
28:42I choked
28:45him off
28:46nobody knows
28:51how they'll
28:51react in that
28:52circumstance
28:52you're surrounded
28:54by others
28:54in a panic
28:55with you
28:56you begin
28:57to lose
28:58the function
28:58of your arms
28:59the function
28:59of your legs
29:00the thing
29:01that you need
29:01to keep afloat
29:02and that can
29:03happen extremely
29:04quickly
29:04because that
29:05body's reaction
29:06to keep
29:06your vital
29:07organs
29:08warm
29:08is so
29:09powerful
29:10and it's
29:10painful
29:11like you
29:12are being
29:12tortured
29:13essentially
29:14the people
29:18in the
29:18lifeboats
29:19are sitting
29:20and listening
29:21to others
29:22die
29:23and everyone's
29:25response to
29:26that trauma
29:27situation
29:27will be
29:28different
29:28we chatted
29:32of little
29:32unimportant
29:33things
29:34as people
29:35do
29:35when they've
29:36been through
29:36great mental
29:37strain
29:37try to make
29:40feeble jokes
29:41I remember
29:43I teased
29:44Miss
29:44Frankatelli
29:45just fancy
29:47you left
29:49your beautiful
29:49nightdress
29:50behind you
29:51and we all
29:54laughed
29:54though in
29:58our hearts
29:59we felt
29:59very far
30:00from laughter
30:00never you
30:04mind
30:05madam
30:05you were
30:07lucky to
30:07come away
30:08with your
30:08lives
30:09said one
30:09of the
30:10sailors
30:10don't you
30:12bother about
30:13anything
30:13you had
30:14to leave
30:14behind you
30:15Lucy's
30:19comments
30:19sound tone
30:20deaf
30:21to us
30:21but I
30:22think
30:22they're a
30:23trauma
30:23response
30:24it is far
30:25easier
30:26to comprehend
30:27the loss
30:29of a beautiful
30:30piece of
30:31clothing
30:31she's a fashion
30:32designer of
30:33course
30:33than it is
30:35to wrap their
30:36heads around
30:37the extraordinary
30:39horror
30:40of the loss
30:42of human life
30:42that they're
30:43seeing before
30:43them
30:44for those
30:47in the water
30:48a fatal
30:49countdown
30:49has begun
30:50once
30:51severe
30:52hypothermia
30:53sets in
30:53you've got
30:54about 15
30:55minutes
30:55until
30:56you'll
30:57become
30:57unconscious
30:58when I
31:00was wounded
31:00in Afghanistan
31:01I knew
31:02that that
31:02helicopter
31:03was coming
31:04but if you
31:06don't know
31:07that a rescue
31:08is imminent
31:09how long
31:10are you capable
31:10of holding
31:11on for
31:11a large
31:13a large number
31:13of people
31:13gave up
31:14the struggle
31:15and were
31:15content
31:16to die
31:16for the water
31:18was
31:18so cold
31:20and there
31:22seemed
31:23no help
31:23at rescue
31:23when the
31:26darkness
31:26starts to
31:26creep
31:27in on
31:27you
31:27that's
31:28when you
31:28have to
31:28have
31:28a real
31:28word
31:29with
31:29yourself
31:29and
31:30remind
31:30yourself
31:31that
31:31you
31:31still
31:31have
31:31some
31:32fight
31:32in
31:32you
31:32I swam
31:39as always
31:40in a race
31:40I got
31:43myself
31:43away
31:44from the
31:44crowd
31:45behind me
31:46there was
31:47the
31:47horrible
31:48volume
31:48of groans
31:49which
31:49I can
31:54hear them
31:54now
31:54I came
31:59up to
31:59my chum
32:00John
32:00Bannon
32:01and I
32:02said
32:02cheerio
32:04Johnny
32:04and he
32:06said
32:06am I
32:09right
32:09then he
32:12told me
32:13he had
32:13seen
32:13a
32:13flashlight
32:15some
32:16distance
32:17away
32:17and
32:17pointed
32:18out
32:18the
32:18direction
32:19as I
32:21went
32:21off
32:21I
32:21cried
32:22out
32:22it
32:23was
32:23so long
32:24Johnny
32:32poor chap
32:35he was
32:39drowned
32:39it was a
32:50terrible sight
32:51all around
32:51men
32:53swimming
32:54and sinking
32:54I saw a boat
32:56of some kind
32:56and I put all my
32:57strength
32:58into an effort
32:59to swim to it
33:00it was hard work
33:02I was all done
33:04when I had
33:07reached from the boat
33:09pulled me aboard
33:10collapse will be
33:13that had been stored
33:14on the roof
33:15of the officers
33:16quarters
33:16was washed
33:17off deck
33:18and is now
33:18the last hope
33:20of the men
33:21who jump
33:22from the Titanic
33:24among the 30 men
33:26on collapse will be
33:27we have
33:28Harold Bride
33:29Jack Thayer
33:30Eugene Daly
33:31and Charles Lytola
33:33others came near
33:35nobody gave them a hand
33:36the bottom up boat
33:38already had more men
33:40than it would hold
33:40and was sinking
33:41we were very low
33:44in the water
33:45standing
33:46sitting
33:47kneeling
33:47lying
33:48in all conceivable
33:49positions
33:50people came up
33:52beside us
33:52and begged us
33:53to get on
33:54this upturned boat
33:56saving ourselves
33:59we were obliged
34:01to push them off
34:02one man
34:06was alongside us
34:07and asked
34:08if he could get
34:09up on top of it
34:10we told him
34:12that if he did
34:13we would all go down
34:14his reply was
34:18God bless you
34:19goodbye
34:20to look another
34:24human being
34:25in the eye
34:25and say to them
34:26you're going to
34:27have to perish
34:28like that is
34:30an impossible thing
34:31not just to live
34:32through in the moment
34:33but then to have
34:33to live with
34:34there are
34:391,500 people
34:40in ice cold water
34:41in the Atlantic
34:42and there are
34:43some lifeboats
34:44that are
34:45full to capacity
34:46and there's
34:46nothing they can do
34:47but there are
34:49many others
34:50that are even
34:51less than half full
34:52there are
34:54less than 700
34:55people in the
34:56lifeboats
34:56because the
34:5718 lifeboats
34:58are not
34:59at capacity
34:59there's still
35:00space for over
35:02400 people
35:03it could save
35:04them from
35:05almost certain
35:06death
35:06within the
35:09lifeboats
35:10there's an
35:10intense dilemma
35:11do they go back
35:12and save people
35:13or do they stay
35:14at a safe distance
35:15so that they
35:16don't get
35:17overcrowded
35:17and everyone
35:18in that
35:19lifeboat
35:19end up in
35:20the water
35:20these boats
35:23are fragile
35:24they're in the
35:25middle of this
35:26vast sea
35:27there's already
35:27been tragic
35:28and terrible
35:29huge loss
35:30of life
35:31this is their
35:32one and only
35:33chance
35:33to survive
35:34three times
35:37an officer
35:38ordered his men
35:39to turn about
35:40but each time
35:42they were prevented
35:43from doing so
35:44by some of the
35:45passengers
35:45they grasped
35:48the oars
35:49so that the
35:50seamen were
35:50forced
35:51to give up
35:52turning back
35:53to rescue
35:53any of the
35:54unfortunates
35:55in the
35:59Duff Gordon
36:00boat
36:00one of the
36:01crew members
36:02says
36:02it's up to
36:03us to go
36:03back
36:03and see
36:04if we can
36:04pick anyone
36:05up
36:05the Duff
36:07Gordons
36:07object
36:08they say
36:09they'll be
36:09swamped
36:10and they
36:10persuade the
36:11crew
36:11not to
36:12go back
36:12at the
36:14later inquiry
36:15Cosmo
36:15Duff
36:16Gordon
36:16said
36:16it's difficult
36:18to say
36:18what occurred
36:19to me
36:19I was
36:20minding
36:20my wife
36:21and we
36:21were in
36:22a rather
36:22abnormal
36:22condition
36:23you know
36:23I find
36:26it chilling
36:27that the
36:28Duff
36:28Gordons
36:28are just
36:29openly
36:30hostile
36:30to letting
36:31anyone
36:31in their
36:31lifeboat
36:32all along
36:33they have
36:33been
36:34given
36:34privileges
36:35that other
36:36people
36:36haven't been
36:37given
36:37and to
36:38die
36:38slowly
36:39in ice
36:40cold
36:40water
36:40within
36:41earshot
36:42of people
36:43who might
36:43save your
36:43life
36:44I think
36:45there's a
36:45particular
36:45cruelty
36:46to that
36:46men and
36:51women were
36:51going to
36:51their death
36:52beneath the
36:54icy waters
36:55of the
36:55Atlantic
36:55but I
36:56noticed in
36:57a hazy
36:58detached
36:58sort of
36:59way
36:59I've gone
37:02through too
37:03much in
37:03those aisles
37:04to think
37:04clearly
37:04Lucy's
37:08talking about
37:09trauma here
37:09she's talking
37:10about going
37:10through so
37:11much emotion
37:12that she's
37:12effectively
37:13shutting
37:13down
37:13she's so
37:15traumatized
37:16she's not
37:16able to
37:17get out
37:18of her
37:18own
37:19experience
37:19enough
37:20to engage
37:21with what
37:21those people
37:22in the
37:22water
37:23are going
37:23through
37:24at that
37:24time
37:24partially
37:30filled
37:30lifeboats
37:31standing
37:32by
37:32only a
37:33few
37:34hundred
37:34yards
37:34away
37:35never
37:35came
37:36back
37:36why on
37:39earth
37:39they did
37:40not come
37:40back
37:41is a
37:41mystery
37:42how could
37:44any human
37:45being fail
37:45to heed
37:46those cries
37:46I think
37:52it is
37:52extremely
37:52unfortunate
37:53the lifeboats
37:54didn't go
37:54in and start
37:55to rescue
37:55people
37:55they were
37:56willing to
37:57sit
37:57with people
37:58screaming
37:58and dying
37:59in the
37:59water
37:59and I
38:00find that
38:00quite
38:01surprising
38:01we're
38:03highly
38:03attuned
38:03to other
38:04people's
38:04emotional
38:05expressions
38:05out on
38:06the
38:06lifeboats
38:07it's dark
38:08and they're
38:08quite far
38:09away
38:09so not
38:10seeing those
38:11faces may
38:12be one
38:12way of
38:13distancing
38:13themselves
38:14from that
38:14suffering
38:15I became
38:20so numb
38:20I could
38:21hardly
38:21swim
38:22my head
38:25was so
38:26queer
38:26but when
38:32I was
38:33almost
38:33at my
38:33last
38:33gasp
38:34I
38:34shouted
38:34only off
38:39chance
38:39that
38:39one
38:40might
38:41be near
38:41I had
38:45room for
38:45a dozen
38:46more people
38:46in my
38:47boat
38:47but it
38:49was dark
38:50we didn't
38:54pick up
38:55any
38:55swimmers
38:55we all
39:00like to
39:00think
39:00that
39:00we'd
39:01be
39:01the
39:01noble
39:01one
39:02that
39:02does
39:02the
39:02right
39:02thing
39:03but
39:04that's
39:04not
39:04how
39:05survival
39:05works
39:05ultimately
39:08as human
39:08beings
39:09we are
39:09animals
39:09who have
39:10survived
39:10that's
39:11how we've
39:11evolved
39:11to be
39:12what we
39:12are
39:12so
39:12survival
39:13instinct
39:13is
39:13absolutely
39:14within
39:14our
39:14DNA
39:15and
39:15so
39:16you
39:16have
39:16no
39:17idea
39:17what
39:17you
39:17are
39:17capable
39:18of
39:18until
39:19you
39:19are
39:19pushed
39:19to
39:19an
39:19extreme
39:20disasters

39:23an aspect
39:23of your
39:24personality
39:24that you
39:24might not
39:25know
39:25is
39:25there
39:25and you
39:26might not
39:26like
39:27being

51:49Carpathia

51:52consoling
51:55consoling
51:55and being
51:59consoled
52:00my friends
52:06were all among
52:07the missing
52:07when the role
52:08was called
52:08the loss
52:12the loss
52:12affected me
52:14badly
52:15the
52:26big narrative
52:26is always going to be
52:27about heroism
52:28and loss
52:29and sacrifice
52:29but the Titanic
52:32was a disaster
52:33these are real
52:36people's lives
52:38that are lost
52:39real people
52:41who suffer
52:42and
53:12The engineers were the heroes, I think.
53:21They kept going until minutes before the Titanic went out of sight.
53:25Not a man of them was saved.
53:32In 1912, it was taken for granted that the price of a first-class ticket included a greater
53:38likelihood of surviving.
53:41It was seen as a reflection of the natural order.
53:47What the Titanic teaches us is what happens when people's lives are given unequal value.
53:55Every element from your breakfast to how you're treated in an emergency, all of that is impacted
54:00by class and hierarchy and status.
54:05This 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
54:14not capable of processing that level of horror.
54:18Personal trauma was not recognized, 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
54:28they could and manage.
54:31These 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 made
54:43them live the rest of their days more fully and that they owed it to those who died to live.
54:50So they have to be seen as many of us.
54:54And hopefully you've got to bring up the darkness of the river then you would hear them,
54:56and you'd really have to be forgiven for that time.
54:58And, we're not going to be that help.
55:00So, we're also going to be the next time.
55:02And, it was a episode of the axis.
55:04So, we're not going to have to break up your mind.
57:40I lost my pipes, which I prided myself so much on.
57:46I lost all my clothes and 98 pounds, which had taken me many years to save.
57:53Here I am stripped of all I had, but thankful to God that he left me my life.
58:02I lost all my life.
58:32I lost all my life.
