Not really. The morning of April 14, there was supposed to be a lifeboat practice drill, but not only was it not a favorite among the crew, the freezing cold temperatures made the crew members decide not to hold the drill, which ended in several of the fatalities due to lack of knowledge of what to do in an emergency situation
