106 years have passed since the sinking of the Titanic, the stories of love and humanity still make people sob

Titanic sank on the night of April 14, 1912, carrying thousands of lives hidden in the depths of the ocean. But in the moment of boundary between life and death, people realize that "even more water cannot drown love", and human love!
On April 10, 1912, the second largest steamship in history, the Titanic, set sail for its maiden voyage. It is intended to break waves from the British port of Southampton, across the Atlantic Ocean to the prosperous city of New York, USA. But Titanic was unable to complete its mission when it hit a giant iceberg. Carrying thousands of passengers, the ship is forever lying in the cold ocean.

85 years after the tragic accident, in 1997, American director James Cameron decided to recreate the story of Titanic on the small screen, and this is when the whole world burst with the sad love story of Jack and Rose - the couple is called the "Romeo and Juliet" of modern times.

It has been more than 20 years since its official birth, Titanic has always been a movie that "everyone will cry".

People mourn for the ironic fate that separates Miss Rose from being a materially poor but emotional painter Jack. However, many people do not know that the real-life Titanic is not only a love story, but it also contains more emotional nuances than that: a father-son relationship, a comradeship, a decisive captain. do not leave their positions, are the men who sacrificed their lives so that the lifeboat could have more room for women and children... In short, it is called humanity. Then when looking back, people realize an eternal argument: In a disaster, human love is more precious than life!

8 person band and farewell song to heaven's gate

I don't know how many people still remember this detail in the movie, when the ship was on the verge of sinking, in the midst of panicky screams, people still heard the melodious sound of the piano. The reason for that music is because in the midst of the crowd, the band of 8 musicians still decided to stay on the deck to pull the last piece of their life. Those 8 people are 8 real musicians who have stayed on the old Titanic forever. Wallace Hartley is known as the conductor who led this band to the very end, but the truth is that they weren't a group from the start. These are two teams that work separately and perform music at different times and locations. Wallace Hartley's team of 5 performs at tea and dinner parties, Sunday services. In addition, three artists specializing in violin, cello and piano will play music in the reception room outside A la Carte restaurant and Parisien cafe.

It wasn't until the moment when the terrible disaster happened that the 8 of them performed together for the first time. The names of Wallace Hartley, Roger Marie Bricoux, John Wesley Woodward, John Frederick Preston Clarke, Georges Alexandre Krins, Theodore Ronald Brailey, John Law Hume and Percy Cornelius Taylor went down in history forever on the night of April 14 when they played music. until the last minute with the ill-fated ship.

Why the band performed until the end is still a mystery, all 8 of the band went down with the Titanic, we can't ask any of them why they played that night. that destiny. There is a theory that they did so because they obeyed the orders of the captain. However, according to research, the band was not originally hired by White Star Line's but was hired by Black of Liverpool, one of the labor distribution agencies at the time. Therefore, the captain only has the ability to request but not the ability to command the band at that critical moment. Whatever the reason, it couldn't be more important than having sacrificed their own lives to make room for someone else. It is said that the last song the band played, "Nearer, My God, to Thee" (roughly translated, "Get closer to God"), was the song to send off the ill-fated passengers and themselves. they return to heaven.

There is a sad thing that was discovered only later, that on the lifeboat there is room for 3 dogs of the first class passengers, but Hartley's band and many other fates are not. never had a chance to go there. On the ship named Titanic that year, there was a French businessman named Navratil who used his last efforts to put his two children on a lifeboat and asked the people on board to take care of them, while he himself sat back. deck place.

Michel, Edmond and their father Navratil were second-class passengers who boarded the Titanic at Southampton, England on April 10, 1912. During the trip, Mr. Navratil took the name Louis M.Hoffman, and his children were booked under the names Lolo and Momon.

After the Titanic collided with an iceberg at 11:40 pm on April 14, 1912, under the terrible chaos that was taking place, Mr. Navratil used all his strength to get his two young children off the boat. The last lifesaver left the ship. Michel, even though he was not more than 4 years old at that time, still vaguely remembers the words his father said before he died: "Dear, when I come to pick you up, please pass this on to me, that I love you very much. much and always will be. And we will be reunited in a new world, a world of only peace and freedom." Those were the last words Navratil said to his children, his body slowly sinking into the sea and later being found by the Mackay Bennett lifeboat.

Because Michel and Edmond could only walk and did not speak English, the rescuers called them "Titanic orphans". A first-class passenger named Margeret Hays took care of Michel and Edmond at home until their mother learned of the news thanks to a picture of the "Titanic Orphan" published in the newspaper. She sailed to New York and was reunited with her two children on May 16, 1912. Afterwards, the three returned to France on board the Oceanic.

Until later, when people interviewed Michel, he said the following:

"My brother and I were the last to get off the lifeboat and were seated next to the daughter of an American banker who managed to save her dog and no one objected. I realized that , the gap between the rich and the poor was so great, and if it weren't for the second class, we would all be dead, but either way, I don't remember the panic and fear in when the ship sank, but only remembering the memories when we were able to play together with our father."

Captain Edward John Smith: death will not give up his duty to steer

Edward John Smith (January 27, 1850 - April 15, 1912) was the captain of the ill-fated ship RMS Titanic. On the morning of the disaster, the Titanic received repeated warnings of icebergs from other ships in the area. And that same night, the Titanic crashed into an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, killing more than 1500 passengers in the freezing cold water.

In the recollections of Charles Lightoller, the first mate and also the highest ranking person in the crew of lucky survivors, at 2:00 a.m. on the day of the accident, Captain Edward received a telegram urging him repeatedly. Leave the ship and run away. But instead of doing so, the captain remained calmly in the cockpit, constantly pressing the telegraph button that sent the "SOS" message and remained in that position until the last minute.

There are many reports that the death toll of the sinking of the Titanic is so high because Captain Edward was unable to coordinate the evacuation efforts during the evacuation to the lifeboat. In addition, he was judged to not know how to give clear orders when an hour after the collision, fourth mate Joseph Boxhall was still unaware that the ship would sink.

Despite these statements, it is impossible to deny the fact that Captain Edward fulfilled his captain's duty when he decided to stay at the ship until the last minute. He did not give up his duty to steer and accept sacrifices, though if he wanted to, he could be the first to get a seat on the lifeboat.

The richest billionaire in the world: rich in both material and human love!

During the early decades of 1900, Astor IV (John Jacob Astor IV) consistently held the title of richest man in the world. It is estimated that Astor's fortune was even enough to buy up to 10 Titanic ships. When he heard about the Titanic's journey, he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to take his wife on vacation on that luxury ship, not knowing that tragedy awaits them right before their eyes...

On the night of the Titanic crash, at the moment the lifeboats were being dropped, Astor took his 5-month pregnant wife on board. But surprisingly, he did not step down with his wife, but only stood on the deck with his loyal dog beside him. As the ship slowly sank, Astor lit a cigar, watched the last lifeboat disappearing and said loudly: "I love you!"

With his power and fortune, Astor was given a special place by Vice Captain Charles on the first lifeboat. But he resolutely resisted and said: "This is the solution that I think makes the most sense". Then, the richest man in the world gave his position to an Irish girl.

A few days after the accident, early one morning in the North Atlantic, the rescue team discovered the body of Astor IV. At that time, part of his head was even deformed because the chimney of the boat pressed on it…

The fourth Astor is a great example of how: It is possible to be rich in both material and human love!

Ending

The Titanic really was on the bottom of the sea, but with timeless stories of humanity remaining in time, this is an unsinkable ship in the hearts of people who stay.

Talking about the sacrifices of great men on the ship of fate, the representative of the shipping company White Star Line told the press: "There is no law forcing men to must make such great sacrifices. Their actions stem from the determination that men have to protect the weak. It is their choice." When the stern of the ship began to sink into the water, at the moment of life and death, the words people shouted in panic were not a cry for help but a short but meaningful message: "I love you".

Perhaps, "even more sea water cannot drown love", and human love!
