Titanic’s alarms rang 45 minutes after crashing with the iceberg

According to the Daily Telegraph, Tim Maltin, has spent years researching what happened to the Titanic and found out that “the ship’s officers put at risk 1517 lives to avoid criticism of their work and died.”

According to anonymous versions “The Titanic’s emergency alarms rang after 45 minutes after the struck with the iceberg, situation that led it to its collapse. The crew, at that time, did not imagine that the collision could affect the stability of the vessel, and spent over half an hour, which could have been used to save the lives of the passengers on the ship, to check the damage. They wanted to find a solution without looking for help to do not overshadow the great premiere of the Titanic. “

The book’s author revealed that “the order to remove the lifeboats was given at the same time as the alarm rang.”

Although, Maltin said “it was not decisive, but I bet if they have sought for help from other ships the fatalities would have been less.”

The author added that “At the time that the ship hit the iceberg other ships were sailing relatively close, their crews were awake and could help them if necessary.”
