You have to understand that these were all members of a different civilization from our own. And they had been brought up with certain rules and moral duties. In a way, it's like telling the 16th century not to be religious. It's too deep in their fiber for it to seem possible for them to ignore it, even in extremists. And they couldn't. I think we are a very selfish generation.

I don't think we would stand back for the women and children first. I think a lot of people, too many people, would be elbowing each other out of the way to get on the boats. whereas they were different. They had a strong sense of duty.

I think that the behavior on board the Titanic actually what strikes you when you get into the detailed research is the extraordinary selflessness and bravery that you witness.

It's not just that you were woken from sleep, it's that, you know, if I'm sitting in my cabin awake and somebody comes and tells me, we've hit an iceberg, you need to get your life belt on and get up to the boat deck, and the bump seems really minor, is this guy right or not? I think if you have a public address system with the captain telling you,

But here's a steward who comes to your door, knocks on your door and says, get out, get your life belt on and get to the boat there.

Lightoller said he felt a slight bump and heard a grinding sound. That was it. And he didn't think it was a big deal. And other people didn't think it was a big deal. Some ice had fallen on the deck where passengers went sometimes on promenades and they were playing with the ice. You know, getting the lifeboats out and down was just kind of show and tell. It was just pro forma.

The leaders did a bad job preparing the passengers once they hit the iceberg. It's estimated that it took 25 minutes before Smith decided the ship should be abandoned. So they wasted 25 minutes they could have used to get passengers up and ready to go into the lightboats or even lower some. He's delegating authority to people who are responsible. I assume that was the normal course of things.
