There are conflicting reports as to what happened to Captain Edward Smith. Some believed he swam out to Collapsible B after Titanic sank, but died of hypothermia soon after. Others claim he jumped from the bridge into the water but was never seen again. The most popular belief was that Captain Smith went to the bridge's wheelhouse room and drowned as the ship sank.

Who was controlling the titanic when it crashed?

First Officer William Murdoch was in charge of the ship when it crashed. Captain Smith was the official captain, but Murdoch was, I believe, in charge at the moment.

Titanic probably would have stayed afloat long enough for most to survive and for help to arrive.
