Here are two responses in the first person perspective with relevant details: 1. I was having dinner in the grand dining hall when I felt the ship lurch to one side. Dishes and people went crashing to the floor as an eerie groan echoed all around. I rushed out on deck and saw panicked passengers pointing to a massive wall of ice just visible in the dark water. The hull was torn open and water was pouring in. Crew members shouted that we must evacuate as the bow began its terrifying descent below the waves. 2. I clung to the side of the crowded lifeboat as screams and cries for help filled the cold night air. Through the darkness, I watched in horror as the Titanic, now

Exploring the titanic
The Titanic had the latest technology including a double-base of 16 watertight compartments. It was claimed that the ship could stay afloat even with any 2 compartments flooded. It was over 270 metres long weighing more than 46 tonnes. The ship could accommodate over 2000 people yet it only carried lifeboats for about half this number.
The ship was built by Irishman Lord Pirrie and Joseph Bruce Ismay, the head of the White Star Line. Their aim was to build the biggest, fastest, and most luxurious ship ever to cross the Atlantic. The large rooms were decorated with the finest furniture and artwork. The ship was under the charge of Captain Smith, an experienced sailor, who had been involved in other accidents.
Just 4 days into the trip, at 11.40pm, the ship struck a massive iceberg at least 25 metres high. It ripped through 90 metres of the hull. Passengers thought the ship was unsinkable and remained calm. At 2.17am, the ship started to sink and panic broke out. 1500 people were still on board. Some were rescued by nearby ships. Only 757 passengers out of 2,207 survived. The rest perished in the freezing water.
