All the lifeboats were discharged but there was nowhere to go so they waited for help.
Mostly because the ship did not have enough lifeboats or life jackets for everyone.
The Titanic was a tragedy in that there were twenty lifeboats that went down only half full of passengers. Those twenty lifeboats were only enough to hold half again of the total occupation of the entire ship. Today's ships must have enough lifeboats to carry each and every person riding the ship.
Most of the crew died, and those that did not were in charge of the lifeboats. As for the captain, nobody really knows. Some say he died jumping into the water trying to save the baby, but most say that he felt responsible for the sinking of the ship, and locked himself in his cabin and went down with the ship.
Rich women and children were allowed on the lifeboats first then rich men and few poor people of any age or gender were taken onto lifeboats.

The aft section of the ship pointed straight upright, then fell back again at an angle and planed under the surface. To the amazement of many in the lifeboats, it caused virtually no downdraft. It went down silently, with barely a whisper. The time was exactly 2:20 AM.
When the Titanic hit the ice cap the bottom started to leak first which happened to be where the saftey equiptment was. The water was freezing so if they went down they may have escaped drowning and died of nuemonia instead, either way they would have died.
Yes, Captain Smith went down with the ship. Owner Bruce Ismay, however, got to the nearest lifeboat and was saved. Ismay was responsible for there not being the full number of 32 lifeboats on the ship, resulting in many deaths.
The captin did what any noble and brave captin would do. He went down with the ship.
He went down with the ship, for he felt that the Titanicdisaster was his fault and felt that the guilt was to great to bear
It went down because it was faster to ship and a shorter distance.
People were very afraid some jumped of the ship and some just went to slep or some shot there self or tried to floot on debris so that some of the lifeboats could come back to save them
