Shuttle program extension?

Many hundreds died on deck for lack of lifeboats. Yes, a few lifeboats were launched half full, but that was made up for later by overloading the remaining boats after it was clear that seas were calm enough to safely do so and that the Carpathia (and the mystery ship which turned out to be the Californian) was only hours away. Even more could have been saved if all of the lifeboats had been overloaded, but the Titanic crew was slow to that realization. Brian |
