Titanic's collision with the iceberg created six holes in the ship's hull causing rivets to pop and the brittle high sulphur steel plates to rupture, Titanic was the biggest most luxurious passenger ship the world had ever seen, the ads proclaimed it to be unsinkable. Most of the Titanic survivors were allegedly Jews, while the ones in the lifeboats some of which were mostly empty are known to have fended swimmers away with boathooks.

It was bravado on the part of the Captain to allow his ship to get so close to the iceberg, allegedly for the titillation of the upper class passengers that caused the sinking, not a Bomb, JP Morgan nor the Mummy's Curse .. some say RMS Californian under the command of Captain Stanley Lord could have done more in response to Titanic's distress rockets, claims refuted at BBC News.

Not all of the ones who went onto the lifeboats were saved .. on May 13, 1912 nearly a month after the sinking crew from RMS Oceanic spotted one of Titanic's wooden lifeboats, identified as Collapsible A believed to be the last craft to leave the ship at around 2.15 am on the morning of the sinking, drifting in the Atlantic some 200 miles from the wreck site it had three decomposing bodies on board.

Witness describe pandemonium on the boat decks, as shots were fired allegedly killing around twelve steerage passengers who were attempting to access the lifeboats.

Charles Lightoller Titanic's 38yo Second Officer is alleged to have let some of the lifeboats go nearly empty rather than allow men to occupy the seats, and to have in company with a passenger with US Military antecedents, fired upon those steerage passengers attempting to access the boat deck during the sinking to the tune of around twelve dead .. he survived.

The night Titanic hit the iceberg there was a big party going on, Chief Officer William McMaster Murdoch was out cold from the wine he had consumed at a celebration for his captain, while Captain Smith could not be aroused from sleep," the officer of the watch was asleep and quite possibly drunk at the rear of the pilothouse. Murdoch who is alleged to have ordered 3rd class access blocked is said to have shot two dead then to have suicided with the same gun. Links.
