Current Events > You're on the sinking Titanic in 1912. Do you jump, board a lifeboat, or wait?

(+) Yeah! (+)

After watching the 1997 movie, I've noticed that these are the three main things that people chose to do:

1. Jump (why the fuck would they do this? I can understand jumping out of the WTC because it's hot, but this option eliminates the possibility of 2 and 3).
2. Get on a lifeboat (you're considered a coward if you're not a woman or a child, but whatever).
3. Wait to die, which basically meant clinging on to whatever you could find until the ship went under.

What would you do in this situation?

I'll take the option where I live

The women and children can fuck off

Yeah it's pretty mean but who the fuck wouldn't want to be on a life boat in that situation? Jumping off it would be the next best bet, you might get picked up eventually and you wouldn't get caught up getting sucked underwater as the ship went down.

I don't give fuck if people think i'm a coward, i want to live just like everyone else, well not really, but i'm not going to die extremely painful way. Women can say whatever they want, but why should they allowed to live just because they happen to be women?

If i wouldn't get into life boat i would try to take something that can stay floating, back bag and put clothes in there and hope they won't get wet. Next i would try to see if its possible to get of the boat without jumping from too high.

You can survive about 20-30 min MAX at icy water before you get into so bad shape you die. Rescue boat was hours away you are as good as dead if you plan to stay on the water and wait.

I remember reading that men who survived the titanic were shunned for cowardice when they came back. Not sure how true that is.

this there's not many lives I values over my own. Definetly not random people. Also if I was Jack I wouldn't have willingly died to save that chick I just met. Realistically there's no way I would've gotten on a lifeboat back then anyways

I would make sure I have a life jacket on.

Then I'll keep my eyes on a lifeboat that was sent down (preferably one that has less people on it).

When it starts to look like the ship won't remain afloat any longer, I'll dive and attempt to power swim to the lifeboat.

Better than sitting in the freezing cold water waiting for help.

This is assuming I was rejected from getting on the lifeboats on the first place for being male.

Apparently the whole "women and children" thing was really exaggerated for the movie and most men did so because it was the gentlemanly thing to do
