He didn't care.
1:01:01
- May I get in the boat?
- I wish you would.

1:01:04
Yes, ma'am.
I n you go.

1:01:06
Lower away!
1:01:08
Almost 2/3 of everyone
who survived

1:01:10
have Murdoch to thank for it.
1:01:21
Moving into the "A" deck
promenade with the R. O.V.,

1:01:25
it really looked familiar.
1:01:28
A long, sweeping, open deck.
Half of it was open.

1:01:31
The forward end was enclosed
by large glass windows.

1:01:34
This is right where
they walked, you know?

1:01:37
John Jacob Astor put
Madeline Astor into the lifeboat

1:01:39
right through one
of those windows right there.

1:01:43
Because she was pregnant,
1:01:45
he asked
Second Officer Lightoller...

1:01:47
May I accompany my wife?
1:01:48
No, sir.
Women and children only.

1:01:50
Come on.
1:01:51
Here, darling.
Take these.

1:01:53
And so he told her
he'd be seeing her in New York.

1:01:55
No, sir.
Step aside.

1:01:59
I've been thinking about
my family a lot being out here,

1:02:03
and we're going on these dives.
1:02:05
There's an element
of risk involved.

1:02:08
It's a calculated risk.
1:02:09
But I think the idea
of suddenly being on the deck

1:02:12
and saying, "I love you,"
you know,

1:02:14
and trying to bear up.
1:02:16
"Now, just go in the lifeboats.
1:02:18
Daddy will be along
in a little while. "

1:02:20
That's just torturous.
1:02:22
Trying to make your family
think that it's okay.

1:02:25
You're just keeping up
a brave face.

1:02:28
Exactly.
1:02:29
Also, it's the question
of personal character

1:02:31
that you keep going back to.
1:02:33
For me, ever since
I was a teenager,

1:02:36
the whole idea
is the question of,

1:02:39
how would I have beared up?
1:02:41
Would I have had the character
to stand back

1:02:43
and shown that kind of nobility,
shown that kind of courage?

1:02:47
And as we romanticize
the image of "Titanic,"

1:02:52
and it's such a romantic time
and everything,

1:02:54
you want to put yourself
1:02:56
with the men
standing there with dignity.

1:02:58
But you really can't assume
