Titanic

(Kamuda, Edwards) .
             Now the officers and crew where having problems on the deck trying to get passengers to leave the apparent safety of Titanic. The first and second class passengers thought their security and comfort was better off on the Titanic, but the officers knew it was going to sink, and dew to the passengers staying on board the crew failed to fill the life boats to their full capacity. This failure added to five hundred unnecessary deaths. For the third class passengers they had no choice of getting on lifeboats or not. By the time they got to the deck most of the boats already sailed away. Therefor some of them jumped off the side into the bone chilling water hoping to get picked up by a lifeboat. (Kamuda, Edwards).
             By 2:10 a.m. the lights were still on when the stern of Titanic had risen out of the water at an upright position causing the furniture and whatever else wasn't tied down to crash into the bow of the boat. In the engine room the massive boilers tore loose from their foundations and crashed through the bow. For the rest of the terrified passengers they clang to the stern holding on for their lives listening to the horrid sound of their love ones drowning and the ship coming apart. (Kamuda, Edwards).
             Finally, under the incredible forces the ship gave way and split into two just in front of the fourth funnel. The bow section of the ship sank quickly, then the stern settled back for a moment before it rose vertically again. The stern stayed motionless in the star lit sky before it descended two miles to the ocean floor leaving the last passengers to struggle in icy cold water. The lucky ones huddled in lifeboats thankful for their lives but listened to their family and friends cry out in vain. (Kamuda, Edwards).
             The passengers in the lifeboats oared as quickly and far as they could to get away from the sunken ship. Lifeboat number two burned green flares to attract rescue ships.
