When the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg on 15 April 1912, she set off flares
and her wireless operator sent out a distress call. The RMS Carpathia
responded, but by the time she arrived, the Titanic had already sunk: only
those who had made it to the lifeboats could be saved. Some 1,500 people
died.
Another ship was closer and could potentially have responded faster—perhaps
even fast enough that more lives could have been saved. Yet despite seeing
the flares, she did nothing.
