Why didn't they go back to rescue the drowning people in the Titanic?
Most people in the lifeboats of Titanic did not return to rescue other passengers out of self-preservation. They were afraid they'd be dragged down, as a drowning swimmer might do to an other swimmer. Two lifeboats, #4 and #14 DID return, however, and safely pulled people out, but many people were hotly disputing the possibility, famously boat 6, and Boxhall's two boats.
