Well, it's1:40 (central) and Titanic's "nose" is fully under. This particuliar picture gets me every time I see it. You can still see people clustered together like bees. All lifeboats are gone now and far from the ship. Only one boat will return for survivors, but of all the people your see on the deck, only 5 will be pulled from the water. Only 5 out of 1,523 still on Titanic! The Californian won't even start her engines up 'til around 8 in the morning. Carpathia won't arrive 'til around 4 am - too late for those in the freezing water. I suppose these facts are what tear me up inside. May those lost rest in peace.
