I can honestly say that if I were in his shoes, I probably would have acted the same way. I hate the selfish idea of looking out only for yourself, but if you are faced with certain death.........how tempted would you be to take that one step that can change your fate??? I know it would be more than tempting for me. I can not sit in judgement of Ismay when I would probably do the same thing.

What about those men who dressed up as women to get into a lifeboat.......show me the honor in that??? But can you blame the men when they are the ones being denied boarding a lifeboat?
Remember, "Women and Children FIRST!"
The promose of certain death can motivate people to act differently than they normally would. In my mind, what ever it takes to survive.......that's the attitude I would have.
