The Titanic drowned some 106 years ago, but the details of this marine tragedy have not been fully clarified.
The ship sank on April 15, 1912, about 40 miles [740 km] from the nearest location, and the first ship for help reached an hour and a half after the shipwreck, long after the last victim died at sea.
Suddenly, the water temperature was 2.2 degrees Celsius, where human survival is only 15 minutes.
The sinking of the Titanic cost 1517 people their lives, while the highest chances of survival were for first - grade travelers after 63 percent were rescued.
There were 20 rescue boats in the Titanic, which could accommodate only 1100 passengers, half of those on board, but that was in accordance with the legal regulations of the time and was considered sufficient.
Even so, only 700 passengers could get into rescue boats, most of them half empty, and almost every one of them still had free places.
But what happened to the bodies?
The truth about this is hidden, and those aware did not want to tell. But after so many years, the hard truth comes to light that the captain of one of the rescue boats, Mackay-Bennet, wanted to pull all the troops out of the sea. But he soon realized that his boat was too small for 334 bodies found.
Then the Controvers verdict was taken. They would drop the corpses of the poorest, third-graders, leaving enough space for those in the first and second grade, broadcast Kosovas Prees.
So the crew thought was that they had greater rights to a dignified burial. Of the 334 bodies found, more than a hundred were thrown off the ship and never found in the Atlantic Ocean. The truth about what happened was the hiding of secret telegrams, which were later taken from historians from hidden archives.
In the first telegram the captain wrote: “You absolutely must bring all the bodies standing on the rescue ship”.
But from Mackey-Bennet's boat came the quick response: “We cataloged all the money and valuable property that was found in lifeless bodies. Wouldn't it be better if all the bodies were buried in the sea unless there was a special desire for family support?
After shorter correspondence, it was agreed that the bodies of the victims of poor travelers would be thrown into the water, while the wealthy would return to their families.
