As of May 6, 2006 there are two living survivors

Her family boarded Titanic at Southampton as second-class passengers. Barbara, her mother and older sister Constance escaped on one of the lifeboats (possibly 10). Barbara's father, Edwy Arthur West, died in the sinking. Barbara West married in 1952 and currently lives in Truro, England

Karl Rove, 1912: "Yea, some of you may have escaped my diabolical iceberg, but just wait, just wait. I'll get every last one of you! (Maniacal laughter)"

Here's my favorite Titanic moment:

Titanic was one of the last major historical events where chivalry played the major role in deciding who lived and who died. Most of the women and children survived. Most of the men did not.

I wonder if we would see such a display of chivalry today. I suspect we would not.
