--The outer British regulation required ships over 10,000 tons to have lifeboats for 962 people. The Titanic exceeded this regulation by carrying enough lifeboats for 1, 178 people. However, this was not enough for her 3,547 people aboard.
--The boats were going half or less than half full
--Even if there was no more women and children in that area, and the lifeboat wasn't full, they didn't let men get on; and they would let the boat go just like that
--When they crashed, the captain and the crew waited for long time to start preparing the boats and giving lifejackets to the people.
--They had the third class passengers trapped, until all the women and children of first and second class left in the boats.
--When the Titanic finally went under, the lifeboats waited a long time to go back and get more people

--Some people believed it was safer to stay on the ship.
