The people that did not drown.....
Bruno Frey, David Savage, and Benno Torgler
This paper explores the determinants of survival in a life-and-death situation created by an external and unpredictable shock. We are interested in seeing whether pro-social behaviour matters in such extreme situations. We therefore focus on the sinking of the RMS Titanic as a quasi-natural experiment to provide behavioral evidence that is rare in such a controlled and life threatening event. The empirical results support that social norms such as "women and children first" survive in such an environment. We also observe that women of reproductive age have a higher probability of surviving among women. On the other hand, we observe that crew members used their information advantage and their better access to resources (e.g. lifeboats) to generate a higher probability of surviving. The paper also finds that passenger class, fitness, group size, and cultural background matter.
i dont know the names, but there was very few, about 6 people that were saved from the water.
The only people that were successfully saved from Titanic were those that boarded lifeboats (and a few that were pulled in from the water).
Out of 2,228 people on the titanic, only 710 were saved Of the number saved the vast majority were complete families from the 1st class deck who were mainly wealthy people -what does that say about fairness and so called chivelry.I fear there was a significant element of cowardrice that night.
2AnswerActually, about 711 people "survived". A few lost, so they were guessed as survived, and some escaped on lifeboats. The plot of the movie Titanic is completely fake, except for the boat sinking.
There were exactly 1,496 people that died on Titanic when she sailed in 1912.
Between 12-14 people were pulled from the water after the sinking of Titanic; and 3-7 of them died.

well.....1,500 people died and 694 people where on the lifeboats and 6 people got saved from the water so.....about 2,200
i think 500 people were saved, and 2,000 were on board. So at least 1,500 people died on the titanic . all people in the water of the sea R.I.P!
there were 2223 people on titanic out of which 706 people survived.
He died when he and rose were hanging onto ship depris in freezing cold water.
There were exactly 1,496 people that died on Titanic when she sailed in 1912.
RMS Titanic was doomed because too much water was breaching through in too many places, forcing her to tip forward, permitting more water to enter,
Most of the survivors boarded lifeboats and were lowered from the ship to wait for help. Several others were pulled from the water.
Most of the people would have survived if they had more lifeboats, and didn't shut the water-tight doors. Not shutting the doors would let the water balance out and not sink one side so that it wouldn't break the titanic in half, and even if that wouldn't work, they would have saved a lot of people if they had more lifeboats.
