    Lilian Asplund lived a long life, was old enough at age 5 to have real memories of the Titanic sinking. Imagine going from the Titanic sinking, witnessing two world wars, witnessing the moon landing and witnessing 9/11? That's a lot in 100 years.

Just an absolute miracle. I cannot fathom what that long harrowing fall, in absolute darkness, must have been like.

    I was always wondering why there were so many people reluctant to go on lifeboats but instead went back to their rooms, but I starting to really feel it now. Imagine you don't feel anything when it hit the iceberg, you are in a comfy warm room that you've been enjoying for 4 days and in the middle of the night they ask you to go out in the freezing cold on a tiny boat for almost no reason. The lights are still on, the room still warm, the bar is still open, the music still plays in the common spaces, the sea is calm and weather is clear, what could be even wrong? If i were there, I am pretty sure I would have waited a long time until I see something was really wrong before deciding to go. Even if you were in the first lifeboat, the reassuring feeling of safety wouldn't have hit until the very last few minutes when the Titanic broke in half and everyone fell into the water. Basically you'd be sitting on a tiny boat for 1-2hours in the dark, freezing your arse off without much food, supplies or space to move around and only thinking of going back to the ship for a whole hour until the last minute where you are glad you didn't

    This is not entirely true. In the movie, it shows locked gates to keep third class down. This has been disproven by third class survivor witness statements. There were gates and usually a gate keeper but they were never locked. They were more of a psychological barrier to keep the steerage passengers from the first and second class decks because of any hidden diseases that could be spread. This used to be common practice and helped stop diseases from spreading around the world. There were one or two instances of a gate keeper trying to hold third class passengers back but they rushed past with relative ease. Many of the people who died either didn’t believe that the ship was going to sink or refused to leave their husbands. Lots of videos on YT to back up what I am saying.

    Marvelous interviews, so fascinating. Another story I read, one passenger, 50-year old Ann Elizabeth Isham, was said to have visited her Great Dane in the ship’s kennels daily (there were 12 dogs on the Titanic, only three survived). At one point, Isham was seated in a lifeboat, but when told that her dog was too large to join her, she exited the boat. Her body was found several days later, clutching onto her dog in the icy waters. That's true devotion. RIP, all who perished that cold April morning, man and beast.

It must have been truly horrific to see the stern high up in the air and then to see the ship sink out of sight forever. "And then she slipped away" were his words. He had great dignity.

    I wonder if the fact that the Titanic was presented as "Unsinkable" may have somehow lowered the survival instinct. The two ladies at the beginning, say they have not made themselves count of the real danger. The crew was cheerful. They were probably thinking of a breakdown. Maybe that's why they didn't worry / alarm right away. This, and many other reasons (for example the few lifeboats on the ship), may have been the cause of death for many people. They didn't think the ship could actually sink. What an absurd tragedy. It is very very sad :(

She says she saw the ship sink, and many first hand accounts describe the sound of the sinking to be full of extremely loud boilers exploding, metal creaking, people screaming, crying, wailing. She wasn’t a toddler, she was 16. How could you think that was just part of the journey for them to sink a ship full of people while everyone around you is wailing and crying.

Don’t think the crew wanted to start a riot and tell the third class everything wrong. I think many people from all classes were just more calm in the initial part because how were they supposed to know there weren’t enough lifeboats, and of course first class probably barely seem bothered, after all they probably thought they’d be the first ones saved anyways.

Especially when he said he'd probably have another nightmare that night. After watching Old Rose in Cameron's film, Titanic describe her rescue from the water, it was amazing to hear a real-life survivor describe his own rescue. I got the feeling he'd been having nightmares since the sinking. No doubt many other people in the boats did as well.

    The first lady interviewed said she thought getting on the life boat was part of her de-boarding the ship and had no idea until she arrived in New York City on the life boat. Then, she said she saw the Titanic sinking. On top of that, she heard hundreds of people screaming in the water and the agony of people rushing to get on life boats and she STILL had no idea what was going on as a grown 16 year old. She must have been the dumbest teenager of all time to not notice any danger until reaching land. LOL.

I can imagine a totally privileged and entitled girl from the elite first class totally enclosed within her wealthy family and crew members taking extreme efforts to blind them to the horror but still when you hear thousands of screams and bodies in the water and 500 feet of iron in the air as it sinks, something is very wrong with her maybe deeply psychologically

Nevertheless, on the positive side, the lady’s to say the least -odd reaction must have spared her from a world of mental torment over the ensuing years.

You done all that you could the rest was up to God. We each come with and expiration date to which no one knows who, what, when, how nor why. I know what it’s like to live with survivors guilt. The nightmare comes when you least expect them. You try to tell yourself over and over again that you done all that you could do. It’s nice to hear it from someone else.
