How many people survived the Titanic sinking?

fpgjc

Out of a total 2227 passengers and crew only 705 people survived the Titanic sinking, of these 3 died after being rescued by the Carpathia. Hundreds died in the freezing waters, none of the half empty lifeboats attempted to rescue anyone from the water. Most of the survivos came from the 1st class passengers with 3rd class having the worst survival rate. http://www.si.edu/resource/faq/nmah/titanic.htm Jul 10 02, 12:47 PM

The Titanic sank at 2:20 the next morning. There had been enough lifeboats on board for barely half the passengers and crew. In this tragedy -- the worst maritime incident during peacetime -- only 705 people from a total of 2,223 survived. (These numbers are approximate. No Titanic passenger list is known to be entirely accurate.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic#Maiden_voyage Mar 06 04, 11:29 AM
