    Lets say you were born prior to the 20th century and found yourself on the Titanic on the night of April 14, 1912. Your a male. All the lifeboats are either going or have gone. What would you have done in order to try and survive? There was actually something on the ship that could have saved everyone's life, but no one thought of it............anyone want to take a guess?

    They could have stuffed the hole (which is now, with new evidence when examing the wreck, thought to have been smallish) with two mattresses, and this would have slowed down the sinking enough so that the Carpathia would have gotten there in time to save them.

    A jumbo size can of 'creeping crack cure'?

    It depends on the circumstances, if I knew what I know now I'd strap together stuff that could float and paddle away from the ship at the earliest opportunity. I know it was a long drop to the ocean though, so maybe I'd chicken out, and then again there's the problem of sitting in that freezing weather in wet clothes.

    Oh I don't know! Tell us!

    Knowing what I know now, I certainly wouldn't have asked the barman for ice!

    and if the Carpathia didnt hurry up, id eat them.

    Well, first of all , I would have not feel for Leonardo Decarprio(Jack), I would have stayed with the fine Billy Zane( Kal), and kept that darn necklack on my neck.

    Then I would have grabbed me and him both a door to float on .

    Oh ................Lol you mean in real life not the movie?

    Probably the same thing, about grabbing something to float on.

    I would have gotten a can of "Leaks Begone" and sprayed it on, or if that didn't work, I would have unhinged the largest wooden door I could find, throw it over and used it as a raft. But before that I would have taken the big bass fiddle away from the guy in the orchestra and take it with me in case I had problems with the door raft
