Act of love,sympathy, empathy ,mercy,kindness or humanity

Titanic  The Tragedy          

My thoughts flashed back to the days of the sunken ship "The Titanic" which was supposed to be the most reliable and the safest ship, yet it sunk to  the depth of the Atlantic ocean on its maiden voyage.This predicts nature is non challenge able, it  proves that it can stretch its cruel hands to destroy human beings when they  are not vigilant enough.According to C.H.Stengle a first class passenger,who was extremely fortunate  to survive the terrible tragedy,said when the titanic struck the iceberg, the impact was terrific and great blocks of ice were thrown on the deck killing number of people.Woman and children rapidly separated from husbands,brothers,and fathers were quickly placed on boats by the sailors.It was stated shots were heard by some survivors, to threaten men if that they would jump into the boat ahead of women and children.Mr.Stengle added a number of men jumped into the sea when they realized there was no chance of reaching the boats.In some of the boats women were shrieking for their husbands and brothers,others were weeping,however many bravely took a turn at the oars.My dear readers please leave your opinion how do you comment  the act of the crew of Titanic at the time of this great danger.Is it act of love,sympathy,empathy,mercy, kindness, humanity, loyalty or duty towards women and children?
