Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL about the sinking of the S.S. Eastland, a small steamer who, in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, was filled with so many lifeboats that it became unstable and eventually sank, leading to the deaths of 844 people. by Sebastianlim

The ship capsized so that would have rendered half the lifeboats unusable and the remaining half much harder to launch. Apparently most the victims were trapped below deck and drowned.

same as titanic: upper rich decks survived, lower decks drowned.

once again proving that if we tell the truth on TIL, we get downvoted. That tells us more about the Reddit than the sciences.

Or as Twain stated, if you want to stay out of trouble in your lifetime,, NEVER state the whole truth in public.

AKA, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not true. A big logical point persons whose decisions are amygdaloid and crotch centered, usually fail in life.
