The first lifeboats could have been left half empty on the Titanic for a variety of reasons. Many of the people first boarding the lifeboats were of the upper class, and they would be more inclined to value their own personal space without regard to the safety of everyone left on the boat. Also, the crew members of the Titanic were having to deal with a state of mass confusion and wanted to finish everything as quickly as possible, and therefore placed people on the lifeboats without determining whether more people could or could not fit. One last reason could be that the crew members put in charge of loading the boats were trying to ensure that they lifeboats did not exceed the maximum weight limit and as a result they did not fill the lifeboats to their full capacity.
