The third class people hat their cabins and facilities placed on the very bottom of the ship unlike the second and first class who had theirs on the upper floors. This meant that the water stroke those on third class first.

Because down there you couldn't be on the deck you would have to stay down below, and the first-class passengers didn't want to be around "third-class people".

Lots of 3rd class passengers died because firstly, the 3rd class rooms were at the bottom of the ship. Secondly, there was a shortcut through some gates, but sadly the gates were locked.

Many of them were still below deck when the ship sank. They never even had a chance to make it to the lifeboats.
