There seems to be some disagreement about what actually happened. I guess the sources are the words of the survivors because there was no video or audio recordings(?). The vast majority of the folks writing the history of the Titanic are first class passengers, right? I'd be interested to hear the raw words of various survivors, not an author's interpretation. I'd like to know their backgrounds (e.g., first/second/third class). Is there such a source?

I can't imagine the third class passengers would give a description like the one in the original post, but I could be wrong. Either way, their ordeal is no less important. Also, if the first class passengers were enabled to behave orderly and heroically due to 1,500 people being forced to die, then that's a contrived perspective of "orderly and heroic". That's cheating on the test. Then again, this website isn't "Equipped to be a Hero".
