Ben may have been the slack jawed, cross-eyed frick son of Meyer Guggenheim's lineage. Ben lived off the ill gotten gain of his father who was certainly counted among the number of robber baron's of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ben was the baby of the family and apparently was a ne'er do well who was eventually ran out of the family business with little more than a salary. He tried to make it on his own but being a robber baron is damned hard work and it was also falling out of favor about the time he was drummed out of the family. He was penniless when he died and was, in fact, traveling back to the US because he was bankrupt when his boat hit an ice berg and down he went. It was rumored he had less money than the folks in steerage. It could well be that dying was preferable to returning to beg for money from a family who had tossed him out like yesterdays garbage.

That was back in the days when men actually had testosterone in their system

Could you build a shitty raft out of some pool chairs and life jackets tied together?
If the movie with Leo and Kate is remotely close to true you could have lashed the dead bodies together and floated 3 boat loads of folks who weren't dead....at one time there is a scene with about 40K in it and that's after about half that many had jumped in the water. There had to be 25,000 dead bodies floating around with life jackets big enough to float a VW Bug in the water within 15 minutes of the boat hitting the ice. You coulda lashed them together, fetched up the piano and tossed it up on them and 10,000 folks could have had a dance party until help arrived....

With all of those mattresses and furniture I could’ve made a floating island in short order.
No way I’m drowning on a ship that took that long to sink.

think the North Atlantic Ocean is pretty cold this time of year. Hypothermia could have been an issue.

Speaking of the titanic, has anyone been watching the Magellan channel on YouTube and their HD scans of the Titanic? The details it reveals are fascinating. They have also been releasing HD footage of the Bismark battleship as well..

If it sank today, there would for sure be some trans man trying to say he's a woman and pregnant because he missed his period to get on a life boat.

Surely there is some A.I. clip that tackles this scene in the movie.

They had to sink it. They were unable to steal from us fast enough before the Fed and IRS.

If it sank today frick a bunch of women and children first. You want equality? Fight and scratch for it at the life boats, bitch.....
It really ought to be based on age. Kids and their parents regardless of the parents sex and then single people based on age. Old frickers done lived their lives, why is it "right" for 22 year old man to die so a 80 year old woman can live? That one boat that had Kathy Bates big arse in it could have saved 30 young men with their lives ahead of them.
If I am on the crew ima slip and fall into a lifeboat that old boy who was captain of the Concordia claimed he did....he went to prison but he was alive when he was released from prison....

He and his male secretary played it straight until the end. Is that what you are telling us?

Only 3 wars in USA were truly Democratic
War of Independence
World War I
World War II
In all 3, the wealthiest served in active duty with the poorest. Sadly, some great men of note were killed and could not instill that dedication to country to their offspring.
