Did you know that...
• there were exactly 2,223 people on board, counting the passengers and the entire crew
•one emergency boat could hold 65 people, yet there were only enough boats for half of the people on the titanic
•the titanic sank on the 14th of April 1912 which means it was more than 101 years ago
•the emergency boats were only filled with about 20-30 people at a time which was less than half than they could hold
•around 1,500 people didn't get on the emergency boats and were left in the ice cold water
•one boat came back looking for survivors and found 6 survivors out of approximately 1,500
•it was counted that 706 people survived, which means that 1,517 people died mostly from hypothermia
•jack Dawson was an actual passenger on the boat, however he was Italian and older than jack in the movie... He didn't survive
•the last titanic survivor, millvina dean died in 2009, she was just two months old during the horrific events...
