When you read the inquiry, it becomes so alive, because you think, what could I have done there? Could I have done something different, something else? How would I have reacted in a situation like this? I'm thinking about what another third-class passenger said. He was at boat A and they were fighting and the boat was turning up around and around and around.

And he said, there were about 150 people around me. And it was because I was strong and I could fight them away that I survived. It's horrible, he said afterwards, but in the circumstance like this, it's your life and nobody else's.

Lightoller was definitely someone who was capable of making very tough decisions. He was known by the other crew as a hard case. And given that the whole crew were hard cases, he must have been a real sort of, what we would think of today as like an SAS man or a US Navy SEAL.

We waited until it had thinned out. It's an extremely strong story in the US inquiry because the senators couldn't accept it. They could not accept that somebody has the possibility to save people and still didn't do it. But under those circumstances, it was just suicide going back.

There was a lot of phosphorescence in the water. And of course, you know, one doesn't think about this when there's 1,500 people struggling in the water. But as they were struggling in the water, they would have made bright fluorescent green angels as they were swimming from disturbing all the phosphorescence.

As the water filled into the bow, the ship, a bit like an ice cube tray that gets heavier and heavier at one end, it just dragged down the bow.

Eventually, the whole what we call the forecastle, which is basically the front triangular deck on the ship, that actually gets submerged with water as well.

Ismay was pilloried because he was the owner. He was the person ultimately in charge even of the captain. And I think that his bad press has more to do with people perceiving him as being probably the main person that should not have survived.

There is a French person who wrote a letter at the time, and he seems quite clearly to say that the officer stepped back and made a salute and then shot himself.

It could have been Wilde. It doesn't have to have been Murdoch. But I think having looked at all the evidence, I think on the balance of probability, it probably was Murdoch. But if more evidence comes to light, it may be shown otherwise.
