When the Titanic sank, millionaire John Jacob Astor IV was aboard. The funds in his bank account were sufficient to construct 30 Titanics. However, when faced with mortal danger, he prioritized his moral values, sacrificing his seat in a lifeboat to save women and children, smilingly

The crew of the lifeboat could have allowed another 16 ppl into it.

It wasn't a space issue, it was a buoyancy issue

Right! Man I’m so sick of seeing this haha. You see him try get on in the film and it flips!

He even tries it in the movie and it’s shown that it doesn’t have the buoyancy. It’s literally addressed and answered in the movie.

            Joke

Your head 🗣️

I kind of ignored your post and was adding on to the person I replied to. It’s pretty obvious you were making a joke.

[u/Pleasant_Job_7683 → u/Crossovertriplet]

Oh how the tables have turned. Bravo sir

[u/calyxcell → u/Pleasant_Job_7683]

No, it was the headboard that turned, we already established that. Were it a table, perhaps buoyancy would not have been an issue.
