Question

If you had been the Captain on the "Titanic", What would you have done differently?

Answer 1

Would of had s*x with the best looking chick on board?

After all, it would of been my last request!

Answer 2

Been watching for stuff in front! Duh! And also would have had more lifeboats, and been watching carefully (that part of the Atlantic is terrible for icebergs!)

Answer 3

It was his last sailing before retiring. He was "ordered" to try to maintain a high speed to make a record run across the atlantic. Even though the ice warnings had been received. I would have told the owners to take a flying leap, slowed down, posted extra ice watches and setteled for making a safe voyage as my final one.

Answer 4

Keep Kate Winslet on the dock!

Answer 5

I would not have allowed the ship to be going full ahead in waters shown to have ice bergs present...Also when the iceberg was spotted, the person piloting the ship reversed and then tried to steer to avoid collision.... If he had left the engines in forward and steered, the boat would responded to the turn more quicky and possibly either avoided the impact or lessened it so that the ship did not sustain the damage that it did...

Answer 6

Headed for Bermuda instead.   Might sink in the triangle, but at least then we'd just be eaten by sharks.

Answer 7

Keep my eyes on the road.

Answer 8

Insisted there were the correct amount of lifeboats before I even left port.

As far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) but is the safety of the passengers not the final responsibility of the captain on a ship?

Anyway - I'd certainly have had a satellite phone tucked away just in case ;-)

Answer 9

be a partner of Rose....hehe

Answer 10

I would say to h**l with going down with the ship and grabbed the first life boat and hauled azz and save my own life and s***w everyone else!

EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Answer 11

If I were him, I'd definitely steer the Titanic away from iceberg infested seas. Gosh, why sail to such places? Why not Barbados or Mauritius? But my respect to him, he had the guts to go down with his ship, and that is something I wouldn't do at all because I know my family and friends are important to me.

Answer 12

lol, in hindsight, there's sooo many things he shoulda done.  

Like either rammed straight into the iceberg (without trying to turn, which actually caused more damage than a head-on collision would have)...

OR  stopped the boat after it hit ... turns out since they kept going it helped the water gush in even faster.  

also, you know, maybe insist that they FILL the lifeboats...

Answer 13

Well, it was the Titanic's maiden voyage so NO ONE really knew what it could and couldn't do. I wouldn't have believed all the PR that it was unsinkable and would have had my crew been more alert to obstructions like icebergs. I would have insisted on adequate lifeboats for all passengers and crew, and  started to evacuate sooner. And lastly, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF THE SHIP TOO!!!

Answer 14

roped myself to the front of the ship as a bumper...........

and drunk more coffee..........

stood on the highest point of the boat, declared my stupidity, and begged the passengers and the sea gods for forgivness...

I would've gone down with the boat, with pride, helping everyone I could until I died, ..............

Answer 15

Took a different course and also have more lifeboats on board.

Answer 16

MAKE SURE THE DISTRESS ROCKETS WERE RED AND NOT WHITE
