Titanic: Discussion Thread.

As a person who is very interested in the Titanic i can tell you Murdoch did not shoot another passenger, nor himself he died a very dignified death. (despite what the Cameron film says) His family were so upset at the way he was portrayed they actually considered suing Cameron.

As for Ismay he was a coward, this was something that haunted him from the public and psychologically until his death in the 1930's. He never lived down what he did.

I grew up on the old song. Never really fascinated me, though, other than the mechanics of why the ship sank, and the emotional/sociological elements involved. It's a terrible tragedy that could have been avoided.

There is also no evidence to say the band played 'Nearer my god to thee' many passengers said the band played other songs (alot of people made contradicting stories including whether the ship broke in 2 or sank in one piece, as we now know the ship broke in 2. Though most passengers said it sank gracefully in one piece.)

We'll never know some of these.....Murdochs body was never found.......I think i know why some passengers said that it sank in one peice.....The lights went out just prior to the breaking....so they couldn't see.....The Lifeboats that got away first prolly was to far away to see it....but the life boats that left last saw it....it makes sense....

True, not to mention they were all in shock and could not think straight. After all this was the unsinkable Titanic sinking in front of them.

The sinking in real time, which takes around 2 hours and 40 minutes.
