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

The question is whether you're willing to risk your life and all the others in the boat to find out.

Yes, this is the kind of situation where you only get one chance to find out, and if you screw it up, you're done for.
