The Titanic was killed.
The Titanic, with a displacement of 46,328 tons, made its maiden voyage on April 65, 438+09,654,38+02, but it was indeed the last voyage. At that time, there were 2,224 people on board, leaving Southampton, England, for new york.
Most of our impressions of Titanic should come from the movie Titanic released by 1997. At that time, I was only a junior high school student, and I was not very interested in the plot, but Leonardo was fascinated by countless girls at that time. Many girls around have called their boyfriends? Jack. , claiming? Ruth? .
Well, before it's too late, at about 23: 40 pm on April 14, the Titanic hit an iceberg, and the iceberg cut a hole in the side of the hull, causing six watertight compartments to enter the water. At that time, there were 16 watertight compartments on board, and there were 8 watertight compartments on one side, which made the hull unable to stop the underground sinking (because they were all on one side).
The whole process lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes, and it was also a human tragedy.
Rescue measures at that time
At that time, the rescue measures could only be to ask for help from the surrounding ships and organize personnel to board the lifeboat. At the time of the incident, there were about 13 17 passengers on the Titanic, and ***498 people were still alive; There were about 885 male crew members, and *** 192 survived; There were 23 female crew members, and ***20 survived. There are about 700 people on the lifeboat.
Most of the people who died 15 14 did not drown, but froze to death, including the protagonist of Titanic? Jack. .
So back to our topic, why not go to the iceberg?
The reason is that the iceberg can't climb up.
This is a picture of climbing an iceberg, from which we can see that besides special training, special tools are needed. The scene on the ship at that time was very chaotic. If people are organized to climb the iceberg, it will only create more chaos. 700 people could have escaped, but I'm afraid more people will die here.
There is a saying called the tip of the iceberg. We see that the iceberg floating on the water is only a small part of the iceberg. The iceberg at that time was steeper than the iceberg in the picture above me. Professional climbers are hard to climb, let alone ordinary people.
A touching scene when the Titanic was killed.
In fact, when the ship was about to sink, the captain did not escape, but stayed on board, waiting for death and sticking to his post. Thomas Andrews, the designer of Titanic, was looking at a painting alone in the cabin when the ship was about to sink, and soon he was buried at the bottom of the sea with his masterpiece. Astor IV was one of the richest men in the world at that time. After sending his pregnant wife to the lifeboat, he gave up his position to a woman and died with the boat.
Many nobles, high officials and rich people died. They all had the opportunity to get on the lifeboat, but they all gave their seats to women and children. In their view, responsibility is more important than life. They can face death calmly and assume their social responsibilities. Honor is the true embodiment of aristocratic spirit.
The spirit of changing in a certain situation is really touching in many cases.
