    For those saying Eva Hart was not actually the last living survivor of the Titanic and say it was Millvina Dean, yes you're right. Eva died in 1995, meanwhile Millvina died in 2009. The difference is Eva had memories about the Titanic as she was 7 when it sank and Millvina was just 2 months old. Therefore, Eva was the last survivor who would recount what happened.

      You can see the trauma surfacing by how she shifts her entire position to huddled over/protecting her core as she gets closer to that point. Heartbreaking.

      @Hunter Bridge The thing is even if they couldn’t deploy they still would have tried to stay on the lifeboats when the Titanic sank. That’s what happened with lifeboat A and C, both weren’t fully deployed but passengers/officers got on it when the Boat collapsed and 60+ people managed to survive.
      I put more blame on the Captain as well as he didn’t clarify the urgency of the situation so passengers were still not getting on the boat after being told the ship was sinking. Undermanning the lifeboats was stupid and they ended up trying to recall them back but it was too late by then.

      They only had roughly 2 hours after the iceberg hit.
      To launch 2200 people into lifeboats in that tiny amount of time which requires a lot of manpower would be difficult. Remember that the first lifeboats didn't even get launched well over an hour after the iceberg hit.

    Wow. She spoke with so much insight. Had there been enough lifeboats for everyone, it would’ve just been a sensational story in the newspaper about how the world’s most luxurious ship (of its time) sank in its maiden voyage, instead of being the tragic and alluring story it is today. So much so that even more than a hundred years later, people are still attracted to it. Some even take risky voyages in submersibles not designed to handle such great oceanic depths and its inhabitants die in a similar manner for similar reasons of hubris, etc.

      @@WilleJamesHuff true. But again, it wouldn’t have been the tragedy that it was because the owners opted for optics and aesthetics over safety (which was why the ship didn’t have enough lifeboats for everyone on board). And the captain or the owners or whoever cared more about reaching NYC and beating a record (if I recall correctly) again instead of choosing safety and good common sense (traveling through the Atlantic at night in freezing temperatures called for a more cautious approach). The ship sank in about 2.5 hours. If they had a safety protocol in place, the crew would’ve known how to handle an emergency situation and could’ve gotten more or less all the people safely onto the lifeboats on time. Instead, they thought the Titanic was unsinkable so they initially didn’t even realize that the ship was sinking. It was only later when the lower compartments kept filling with water one after another, that the “watertight” doors couldn’t contain/stop, and the ship started weighing downwards in the front that they realized that the ship was sinking. So, they lost some precious time in that confusion as well. It’s good to have confidence, but they should’ve thought more practically that technically anything that floats can sink. They should’ve had a more modest or at least realistic perspective of things. I only say this so we can learn from the past, which is the whole point behind revisiting mistakes.

      Definitely would have been deaths, particularly among the engineers and postal workers who were deep within the ship. But most would have lived for sure. Who thought that life boars for 800 was a good idea. If that was the case, why have any? No point. If the boat would need to use them, you’re saying over half will have to die no matter what.

    • @isaacbruner65
      @isaacbruner65 Год назад +7

      ​​​​​@@adamlewis5700they didn't think they would need enough lifeboats for everyone because the idea was to use them to transport people to a rescue ship or to shore, and then bring the boats back to get more people. Titanic sank in about 2 and a half hours, which was a lot quicker than the people who designed the ship anticipated. They thought that the design of the ship with its watertight compartments would, in the event of a disaster, make it very difficult to sink the ship and if it did sink it would take a long time. They thought rescuers would have plenty of time to reach the ship. At any rate, even if they did have enough lifeboats for everyone, sending people into the frigid north Atlantic in the dark in flimsy boats was dangerous as well and some people succumbed to the cold before getting rescued. It was never plan A to evacuate everyone and have them sit out in the ocean for hours. Anyways, if they had more lifeboats they may not have had time to launch all of them because they required the use of a complex system of davits to lower the boats that the crew had little experience with. As it was, they never successfully launched all the lifeboats. The last two were cut free and floated into the water as the ship was going under.
      "Remember that on not more than one day in twelve all the year round can you lower a boat. With the roll of the ship the boats swing and will be smashed to smithereens against the side of the ship. The boats then should not be overdone ... It might be fairly supposed that had the Titanic floated for twelve hours all might have been saved."
      Admiral Lord Charles Beresford to the British House of Commons, one month after the disaster.

      I doubt everyone would have survived. The evacuation was chaotic, and the crew hadn't practiced evacuating the passengers. Probably the best example of how unprepared they were is the fact that First Officer Murdoch and Second Officer Lightoller interpreted Captain Smith's order to evacuate women and children first differently. Fewer people would have died, but it still would have been a lot of people.

      @@aicerg I just meant that in a crises, some partners in a marriage (and obviously good parents) can emotionally move from their own panic and think of their children who are there in the crises with them. If Eva hadn't been traveling with them, I'm sure words would have been exchanged. Attuned people can read body language. Some learn and communicate in a kinesthetic way (usually athletically inclined people). My father was an officer in the Navy and specialized in encryption and espionage (yes, really). He told me as a kid, that there are more ways to communicate than by talking. Sometimes people "feel" what you feel. He taught me to relax and know that you don't have to fill every moment or moments of silence with words and that others sometimes appreciate your presence but don't want any conversation - like when you're at a funeral or trying to comfort someone grieving. Words in those situations make things worse. As far as communication in a marriage, I do think people who are blessed with a good partnership (unbroken trust, respect and love) will trust the other when there is NO time for words, like in an emergency.

    Thank G-d she survived. This is the best version I've yet to hear told of the Titanic horror. She had an amazing father thats for sure! who made certain that she and his wife were safe. He had to have been very bright and his wife knew it because this persons mother did not have to ask a single question which resulted in precious time saved so that the woman we see in this video survived (as she stated so well). I honestly believe that no matter who / what it is that your personal beliefs are of who's up there (i.e. G-d, etc.) .. that her dad is the definition of what we should all strive to be or ultimately become in this world while we're here. What an amazing gift this lady is to us so that we can hear and see as she tells this very personal life event to us. Thank you also to the person who took the time to upload the video.

    Even now though it’s debatable whether they would’ve been able to save everybody with enough lifeboats, there were still two boats on the ship when it finally sunk so it took two hours to launch roughly 18 of 20 boats, add another 10 or 15 boats to that, yes they would’ve been there, but The whole process of getting them prepared, getting them hooked up, moving them out, lowering them down took so many men and so much time before they could move on to the next. Not because of negligence or anything, just the lifeboat technology at the time. Just a tragedy

      Part of the reason it took so long was probably because they were trying to make sure women and children were in fact first. If they had enough lifeboats then that process could have gone a lot faster with less panic. Of course that's just speculation on my part though. There's no real way to know for sure.
