That was a dumb and extremely liberal comment. The workers took on the jobs to run that ship. Passengers can hardly be expected to run down to the bowels of the ship to work; they wouldn’t even know what to do.
Grow up.
It was not liberal at all. Have you never read about the upper class on the titanic and how they behaved? The whole Molly Brown story would not have happened otherwise.
The people below decks worked for a living and showed it. My comment had nothing to do and said nothing of the people they considered “steerage” who were literally locked below decks so the elite could get off.
I suggest you read a little of the history and culture of 1912 and what the Titanic changed after the accident!
I suggest you join reality
CodeToad, I took Skwor’s comment to indicate that the workers stood by their posts, knowing their fate. They resigned themselves to that fate and went down with the ship. It was a very courageous act on their part. No one would expect the passengers to go into the bowels of the ship to help those men. Likewise, no one would have been surprised if some of the workers had sought to save themselves.
His observation is still true.
Lighten up.
