Reply to comment by Fake_William_Shatner in TIL that Titanic crewman Herbert Pitman made an attempt to row his lifeboat over to rescue people in the water, but was overruled by the other occupants of the boat, who were worried about people swarming them and duly complied. Pitman said that this haunted him throughout his life. by ChadExtra

Dozens of people drowning in ice water prob aren't logically pursuaded not to board the boat

I think they wouldn’t even be able to swim to the boat. It’s either you rescue them, or they die within a couple of minutes.
