None of the 24engineers survived. While others were trying to find refuge, the engineers were struggling to keep the boat afloat. Noble.
#liotes #discovery.
They were 20 boats onboard instead of the required 64 boats which would have effortlessly conveyed all passengers to safety.
The then "world's richest man" John Jacob Astor was onboard and unfortunately didn't make it out alive.
Violet aka miss unsinkable was on the ship. She had survived three ship wrecks but still chose to be a travel nurse. Quite amusing.
The musicians onboard played music till the end. This was to give a glimmer of hope.
Out of the 2200 people on the ship, over 1500 dead bodies were recovered.
Many say that the shop wreck was a tragedy that could have been avoided if things were done right and proper safety measures were put in place.
The end
History can be fascinating.
