How many boats were not launched in the Titanic?
All 20 lifeboats were launched, though Collapsible A and B floated off the ship (A was submerged, B was upside down) just before Titanic sank.
Were there enough lifeboats on the titanic for all passengers?
This is more of a random fact, but the reason why there weren't enough boats on the Titanic was because a few years before a boat had sunk and there were too many life boats, so the designers only outfitted life boats on the Titanic for decoration more than anything else, as they thought it would never sink. The Titanic was designed to hold 32 lifeboats, it was eventually paired down to twenty. Lifeboat number 6 was designed to hold 65 people. For more info visit the link below.
Why didn't everybody survive the TITANIC?
There were not enough lifeboats for everyone on board. They were going by the old rules and had just enough lifeboats, (and two collapsible life rafts), on board. The old rules, made before 1912, said how many lifeboats a ship the size of Titanic had to have, and in order to save money, they followed the rules and did not have more than what was required. Most of the people who did not get on a lifeboat, froze to death in the icy waters, although they remained afloat, held up by their life preservers. After the Titanic sank, the new rule was, a ship had to have enough lifeboats to carry everyone on board; passengers and crew included. Yes I agree with the answer above. The RMS Titanic didn't have no where near enough life boats on board of what was named 'the unsinkable' ship. In total out of 2,200 people on board of the Titanic, 1,517 people died when the ship was sinking. The RMS Titanic only had on board sixteen lifeboats and this included four inflatable ones. Each of these boats could hold 40 to 60 people. And yet none of them were filled. Life boat 1 left with only twelve people on. It could hold 40 people in total. Everybody who didn't get a boat was left to die. Wether they jumped in the water or died with the sinking of the ship, they died a tragic death. Thousands of people died of hypertermia, there bulky life jackets keeping them aflaot. Later they were found dead and pulled aboard another boat to be numbered and returned home to be buried.
If all the ships lifeboats were filled to capacity how many people could have been saved?
the capacity of the boats on Titanic was 1,178. 2,208 people were sailing her the night of the sinking. If all seats were occupied, then 1030 people would still be on Titanic (as opposed to the 1,496 that really were).
How come people didn't get on lifeboats in the Titanic?
Because they didn't have to have enough lifeboats on boats in those times. Also, they thought it was unsinkable, so they didn't bother having enough lifeboats. The company said to John Bruce Ismay that people don't pay taxes and high ticket prices for lifeboats, were as Ismay wanted 48, they went with 16.

What was the rule on people getting in lifeboats from the Titanic?
The rule was that the 1st class passengers got the priority of getting off the ship first due to the fact that they paid £870 just to stay on the HMS Titanic.

joesph Ismay orininally had 48 lifeboats but he wanted to make the deck more convinient for the 1st class so he took 32 off and just had 16 lifeboats aboard the ship and he survived

How were the people resuced in the Titanic?
After the Titanic had completely submerged, the lifeboats with the people on board had traveled away but some came back to try and find some of the survivors just like near the end of the Titanic movie, but when a ship came by to collect bodies and investigate everyone had already died of hypothermia and froze to death or drowned. Very few people were saved from the waters, the only survivors survived when they got onto the lifeboats as it was sinking and only partially underwater.
