No one knows, but many believe that he did indeed choose to go down with the Titanic because he knew that there would be little to no chance of getting into a lifeboat. Eyewitness reports say that Thomas Andrews was last seen walking the decks, advising passengers to get into the lifeboats, and even throwing chairs and other objects overboard, as to give others a better chance at survival. After this, he went into the First Class smoking room, and stared at the painting above the fireplace with his life vest was on the table next to him as the titanic sank
Thomas Andrews designed the Titanic. He went down with the ship.
Thomas Andrews, contrary to popular belief, was not the designer of Titanic, he was the master builder. The Olympic-Class vessels, including Titanic, were designed by Alexander Carlisle who left abruptly after Olympic was finished so construction supervision fell to Thomas Andrews.
At 12:25 on the evening of April 14th/15th 1912, Andrews confirmed to Smith that the ship was doomed.
The Titanic's architect was Thomas Andrews, a very experienced ship builder/designer/architect and unfortunately went down with the ship on the night it sank
Thomas Andrew was the designer of the Titanic. The reason why Titanic was thought of as unsinkable was because there were 16 watertight compartments. So even if a disaster occured with the Titanic it would have stayed afloat for some time - a couple more hours (in this time passengers could have been rescued by other ships). BUT Thomas Andrews reduced the height of the compartments to make more space in the first-class rooms so when it hit the iceberg it sunk a lot faster than it would have done. Overall, if he wasn't so fussed about the first class passengers' accommodations the Titanic possibly WOULDN'T have sunk and even if it DID many more people would have survived.

Yes, He Did Die. He Didnt Try To Make Any Attempt Of Escaping Titanic, And He Just Went Down With The Ship As It Sank....And Drowned.
The black gang down in the boiler rooms saw the water breaching, but the first confirmation that Titanic would sink was when Thomas Andrews verified it to Captain Smith at 12:25 in the morning.

Thomas Andrews, born on 7th Feb 1873 and died on Titanic...he is thought of as one of the biggest heros of that fateful night, spending his last hours rousing passengers and making them put on life jackets...he was last seen standing in the 1st class smoking room and went down with the ship...
I believe it was Thomas Andrews as he built the shipCommon misconception. Thomas Andrews was the Chief Naval Architect who built Titanic. However, he was not an official member of the vessel's crew. The job of a Ship's Carpenter involved not only being intimately familiar with the design of the ship, but also ensuring that she was properly outfitted with supplies such as coal, food, water, et cetera. In times of crisis, a ships carpenter is also tasked with advising the captain on the best way to save the vessel.There were two carpenters aboard Titanic according to crew manifests. One was Mr. John Maxwell, 31, of Belfast. The other was Mr. John Hall Hutchinson, 26, also of Belfast.
