This made many people very optimistic about the collision thinking everything was alright. In fact, 2 out of 3 was completely untrue. The first newspaper to proclaim the truth was The New York Times. The headline on April 16, 1912 was, "TITANIC SINKS FOUR HOURS AFTER HITTING ICEBERG; 866 RESCUED BY CARPATHIA, PROBABLY 1250 PERISH; ISMAY SAFE, MRS.ASTOR MAYBE, NOTED NAMES MISSING."
