Mrs. Murdoch, the nephew of William, his wife wrote to me from Scotland and said that not even Hollywood can say somebody's a murderer without truth, which is so, so true. You can't, because William Murdoch is the person who saved most people from the Titanic. I met Cameron and tried to point this out, that how wrong it is. I think he's changed his mind now, but the damage is done.

They should cut that scene away from the film. That's my belief. I've seen the film many times, but I close my eyes when that part comes. I don't want to see it.

There was an enormous air pocket inside the stern. And if you compress air, it becomes explosive. So the whole stern more or less imploded. So if you look at the wreck today, the whole stern is just like junkyard. The deck is turned upside down and everything is more or less completely destroyed because of this enormous pressure.

Tim Maltin, What we find is Murdoch, who's actually allowing men to go in lifeboats with women and children, that allows families to load boats very, very quickly. Whereas Lightoller on the other side of the ship was splitting up families, which is taking a long time and causing a lot of people to reject getting in a boat at all.

The military men there sort of stood to attention, and the women got off in the cutter, and they were saved. So since then, that became the rule, although it wasn't actually a real rule, if that makes sense.

The Board of Trade said you could fit 60 people in a lifeboat, but they didn't take into account the sweep of the oars, which took up a lot of space. In other words, if you filled the boat, you couldn't then move the oars, which is not a very sensible situation if you think you've got a 500-mile row ahead of you.

Also, it was very cold that night, and the Board of Trade didn't take into account motoring clothes and coats. Some people got in the lifeboats with luggage and even a small dog, for example. So, in other words, the sort of general chaos of it was not taken into account by the Board of Trade.
