When the lifeboats were lowered during the sinking of the Titanic, many were not filled to capacity due to a combination of panic, disbelief, and social class disparities. As passengers hesitated to leave the ship, crew members struggled to manage the evacuation effectively. Some lifeboats were launched partially filled, leading to a tragic loss of potential survivors. The chaotic situation ultimately contributed to the high death toll in the disaster.
