This coming April 15, 2012 would be the 100th year since the tragedy came to one of The White Star Line most widely known sailing ship, the RMS Titanic. During the night of April 14, 2012, as the ship hit an iceberg, the passengers were scattered everywhere in the Titanic?s sank site. Some were enjoying a good night sleep; some playing cards; some enjoying the social night at the ballroom hall; and some were enjoying a drink or two with some men of acquaintance.

But as the gravity of the damage to the Titanic became known to all and the tragedy inevitable, every passenger is equal, there is no mark of who is rich and poor. Everybody is fighting for their very survival. The ship was only equipped with 20 lifeboats, very few for the number of passengers they have. Survivors were telling in their testimonies that screaming was everywhere. People were wailing in despair to be saved and slowly, voices started to turn into silence as people were starting to lose all their strength along with their hopes. As the rescue ship came, the Carpathia, many were seen floating, scattered and dead while about 700 people survived.
