This really happened to everybody on the Titanic after the last lifeboats were gone and about 1,500 people were left on the decks. I guess about half of them understood that they were doomed - certainly the crew knew, including Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews.

So what did they do? Not much of anything; in 1912, it was all very British stiff-upper lip, including the Americans. They stood around, listened to the band, then ran to the stern as the ship went down. By that point they were scared, of course. But: "I want people to know that I died like a gentleman," says one character in A Night to Remember.

It could never happen, but what would modern Americans do on a cruise ship in the same situation? There might be some very wild craziness, I guess.


Andrews knew from the beginning what was happening and that there weren't enough lifeboats. Yet people who saw him that night say that he remained quite calm and composed through the whole event.
 
Drive my semi into a bank, take and bag as much money as I could get. Bury the money call my kids tell them where I buried the money and I love them. then drive to a Red Lobster till the cops got me (hoping it's a Wednesday for all you can eat crab legs)

I wonder if I can get all that done in an hour 🤔
 
Nothing in this world would matter to me, except spending it with my son
 
When I first read this question, I interpreted it as an end of the world thing.

With my last hour, I would say goodbye to all my loved ones, listen to my favorite songs, have a nice meal and a nice glass of whiskey.
 
I don’t get the concept of the poll. The question is fine, but the options part really doesn’t include choices
