Reply to comment by Anachr0nist 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

It's just what I might think to do in that situation. I will leave panic to other people who might be experts in that.

If only you could have been there, rather than this jagoff Pitman, a mere officer on the ship who joined the Navy at 18, or the crew members on the boat. A pity!

Lighten up a little. And don't hate me just because I might be the solution to most problems.

None of them involving paperwork or using a map of course.
