Wealthy people who could afford private doctors and had a better standard of living tended to live a lot longer back then, things are far more equal these days. If you were an average Joe born in the 1880s, you could expect to have lived until you were 45-50, and have a life of back breaking labour 12 hours a day after an hour's walk to work, a Poor diet, if you had bad eyesight you lived with it, if you had a bad tooth you either paid a barber to rip it out or do it yourself. Infections or injuries that required medical treatment, forget it unless you paid for a private doctor or surgeon, no antibiotics, anti inflammatory or blood thinning tablets. And being involved in hard labour, work injuries were common, you couldn't work you couldn't earn, you begged borrowed or stole, or stumbled around crippled and died in pain on a bench somewhere. No compensation, no benefits, no pensions, no nothing. All these and many other pitfalls were largely avoided by the wealthy. Tracing my family tree back to the early 1700s I can find dozens of relatives who died in their late 40s, and dozens of child deaths " under 5 year's old. Out of about 200 names from 1800-1920 close to 50% died before they were 50 year's old, and about 25 before they were 5. Then as we progress through the first part of the 20th century infant deaths quickly slow down, life expectancy increases by 10-15 year's over the first half of the 20th century. It's now at about 80, but this is purely an average but a high % make it to this age, compared to just 2% back in the late Victorian time
My great grandmother always used to tell us that she lost a family member to the Titanic disaster. We never believed her really, as she was quite old. After some digging, it turns out she was absolutely right, she lost one of her first cousins. Sad
Henry Ford according to you some random page with a bunch of links is comparable to an actual education? You sir are a fool. People like you will be the first to perish should something ever happen because you are so involved in what might be.
Just like how i didn't believe my mom when she told me that my great grandpa was a municipal president in our province. Not until my brother went to the municipal office and saw our great grandpa's picture.
My grandmother, who lived in Finland, was planning to travel on Titanic with her three friends. She postponed her April trip to October for unknown reasons. Her three friends went and all three passed. I think she was 16 in 1916.
so she was 12 when the ship went down. I really doubt that a 12 year old was (realistically) planning to move from finland to the US. and another bunch of 12year olds did the same and went? ...come on...
@@takaetono6773 it’s plausible. My great-great-great grandfather and his twin brother travelled together with their older sister alone from Germany to the US. I don’t know the sister’s age, but I was told she was in her teens and the twin brothers were around the ages of 10-12.

Edith Rosenbaum was pretentious, but she's one of the few Titanic survivors whose accounts you can trust with certainty. A lot of other survivors were so old and senile in their interviews during the 70s and 80s, that they were incoherent at times, but here she was at 90 giving a veritable account of what happened.
Many survivors mention how people were reluctant to get into the lifeboats. It must have seemed terrifying to get into a small wooden lifeboat in the immense darkness, getting lowered several stories down, to icy water in the middle of nowhere, in the enormous ocean.
Today children don't even know how to write their names in cursive or write an essay with paper and pen and that's no exaggeration. It's traumatic how much society has changed since I was a child (I'm 48). Remember, my age and older didn't grow up with even TV, or Cable (what was available was weak at best if your parents Even allowed it in the house), smartphones, computer, iPad, or streaming music or movies, or video console games (didn't really exist before 2000 & I was married with 2 children, a FT job, & when 2000 came around, i had no time or desire for this internet thing. But we knew how to tell stories, we knew how to listen to others, we knew how to entertain ourselves when nothing like today existed and Even our phones Hung on a wall inside your house and weren't movable and so we learned from our parents and grandparents how to listen, and sit still to hear what we now call podcasts today but they told them over an AM/FM radio that had to plug in a wall and has to have an antenna that got signal to relay that storytime to us plus our great ancestors told us fascinating probably half false or embellished stories that I think we thought were hiring back then but today we listen with an easy so pitched on their story in fear that we may never have that again and it's happening. Storytime isn't what it used to be. I know we can't go backwards but if we could, I would not allow technology into my family's lives. Actually I didn't, it was society that put those things in my families lives and eventually ours and now we can't live everyday without these ridiculous gadgets that destroy us but help us on the way to destruction, how peachy is that?!
Because the older generations were way more intelligent! If they wanted to communicate they had to write it down on paper. Of course you would be able to have amazing storytelling skill back then! They're only form of entertainment really was reading books. Reading books makes you outstandingly intelligent.
I have heard many stories from survivors of the titanic & they said that in fact, music was played during the sinking & went right on to the bitter end! I believe them! I do not mean to speak negatively of Ms Russell but I saw a much longer interview from her & she was a rich woman who I believe looked down on those not as “fortunate” as she & did not give them any credit. Or perhaps she was distracted by all the goings on or concerned about her 19 keys that fit her 19 trunks. However it may have been, I believe the music played & soothed the people going through such a tragic ordeal!
Meh, to be fair, eyewitness accounts are some of the most unreliable forms of evidence. She could very well have never heard any music. But it doesn't mean there wasn't any. Or she could have simply blocked it out, forgotten it. Plus she specifically said she doesn't doubt the band played or that the others who said they heard it, just that it wasn't playing "as it went down." The other guy said he didn't hear music but saw them standing about with instruments in hand... Just differing perceptions of an uber dynamic and chaotic situation.
No way would music be soothing to people who are about to either freeze to death or drown. You mean to tell me someone said "oh God there's no more life boats left! We're going down with this ship." But just then someone else replied "well at least the band is playing some very nice music."
Her eyes looked like they were tearing up as she was talking about locking the 19 trunks and leaving them behind forever, only bringing the 19 keys with her 😂 It seemed like she was more upset about losing whatever was in all those 19 trunks than she was about anything else that happened that day 😂

19 Trunks..... what would have been in them? People in a boat in the middle of a cold dark night, possibly their last moments, and they wouldn't talk to each other.... how horrible!
The class system thing is not just about lower classes being seen as more expandable citizens (although yes, that is true to some degree). It's also about the sense of responsibility that crew had towards their passengers. The lower classes on that boat were people hired specifically to ensure safety and comfort of the others, and they took their duty seriously. This is not to say they didn't want to live, or that there's something wrong with them trying to survive as well, or that it isn't a raging shame there weren't enough life boats for every single soul on the ship. But there is also nobility, in the true sense of the word, in the sacrifice of those who felt themselves responsible for the well-being of others - and it includes every last dish washer and elevator boy as well as the captain.

OlympIC… She was damaged in a collision with HMS Hawke in September 1911, and was repaired and returned to service in November 1911. At that time, Titanic was far from finished, there was no finished ship to switch Olympic with. As for insurance, well, it would have been a bit pointless considering the fact that Titanic was underinsured.

Was that a recording of Phillips/Bride hitting the key? I don't know of any recordings. Plus, I would think that this conversation would have been converted into a MIDI if there were any recordings. But I could be wrong, who knows

That lady must have been extremely rich. State rooms and furs.
She had 3 staterooms ?
and 8 keys for all her trunks! She sure as heck didnt travel light 😮
The captain looks so much like the actor captain on the titanic
Colour cameras invented at that tym she is dead in 1975 in uk london
So did music play at the end or not?
Great understandable old good english (for me, non native speaker)
A entrevista é do ano de 1970, e somente 15 anos depois o navio foi encontrado.
Is it just me or does the interviewer look like Allison Janney?
It would have been interesting to know if they saw the ship split in two or not.
Idk why the movie had to make up plots
For entertainment
Why don't the first 2 clips of the ship have the promenade deck cover that was unique to Titanic?
Because the footage was recorded in February 1912, the enclosed promenade was quite literally a last minute change at the end of March 1912
Interesting accent of the presenter. Sound like mimicking of the old time upper crust. You don’t hear that anymore
What did she say at 1:09 ?
"I'm a lift boy." (Meaning, he was employed as an elevator attendant, I think.)
@@nickdaniels4385 Lift operator.
Thankyou for asking this
@@nickdaniels4385 Yes you are right as we British call it a life while americans call it an elevator
@@Waterford1992 We call it a 'LIFT'...
It may be that there was ice on the Titanic, but I don't think anyone is saying they saw an iceberg, am I wrong?
Edith Russell said in another interview that she saw the iceberg, through the window of her cabin
19 Trunks..... what would have been in them? People in a boat in the middle of a cold dark night, possibly their last moments, and they wouldn't talk to each other.... how horrible!
She was a fashion editor, and they contained garments she was bringing to New York from Europe
What is she petting? 😢
A stuffed pig. At least, I think it's a stuffed pig (I can't tell for sure).
She's petting the pig that she had that night, the musical pig
To think they are all dead and gone now.
Is that a stuffed pig?
I wanted to know the name of this woman who interviewed the survivors
me too; she's a babe
She's really beautiful isn't she
I heard his Name was Rosa Augustine
Woman? Uh no way.
she'd be an old woman now
Was that pig, she’s holding, a live pig back then? Her pet maybe? I guess she sent it to the taxidermy after it died.
Supposedly that pig has genuine pig skin
There’s animal fur covering it, but it’s a composition music box
The class system thing is not just about lower classes being seen as more expandable citizens (although yes, that is true to some degree). It's also about the sense of responsibility that crew had towards their passengers. The lower classes on that boat were people hired specifically to ensure safety and comfort of the others, and they took their duty seriously. This is not to say they didn't want to live, or that there's something wrong with them trying to survive as well, or that it isn't a raging shame there weren't enough life boats for every single soul on the ship. But there is also nobility, in the true sense of the word, in the sacrifice of those who felt themselves responsible for the well-being of others - and it includes every last dish washer and elevator boy as well as the captain.
The sinking of the titanic reset our future so much money transferred hands afterwards the Great Depression wasn’t to far after
Who is the older gentleman at the end?
Britney Spears
Arthur lewis
@@chrisblair3445 believe it or not, Arthur was actually my great grandmother’s grandad! I never got to actually meet him as I’m only 16 but I wish I would’ve had the chance.
@@elreydelmundo06 he would have had so much insight about the tragic voyage on this legendary ship
@@chrisblair3445 absolutely, what I would give to have even one conversation with him.
That's a bro in drag.
I don’t why but this woman’s face scares me to death every time I see her..You can just imagine the first class passengers looking down there snoots at the lower class passengers....
"Woman"?
She's very old, this is what old people (of a certain generation) look like
@@theyclosechannelsthatspeak428 It's defo a trans bro.
Edith only had 1 stateroom, not 3. Guess she felt the need to embellish her story. And I doubt 19 trunks would fit into 1 stateroom..
People make up stories all the time.
They still alive or what
Yes, still alive and living with santa and the elves
"iF tiTaNiC sAnK tOdAy..."
I'm gonna stop you right there
You're still getting into arguments with strangers about what you think their private parts are; nothing's changed
Assigning lifeboats by gender was clearly just as flawed back then as it is now
Having enough lifeboats for everybody and their pets is (part of) the real solution, just like it was when Titanic left for Cherbourg

Ha! We got the last laugh ice! Take our global warming!
I’m so glad he survived 👏🤣
The Olympia was sank for insurance as it was already damaged
OlympIC… She was damaged in a collision with HMS Hawke in September 1911, and was repaired and returned to service in November 1911. At that time, Titanic was far from finished, there was no finished ship to switch Olympic with.
As for insurance, well, it would have been a bit pointless considering the fact that Titanic was underinsured.
She girl!?
I've finished watching the video and I can't figure it out it's a man or women
Shut up you idiot!!! Disgraceful
@@mattcall7467 😂😂
Sorry, but how can you be so confused?? The difference is obvious.
Well. They were not "allowed" to cross dress back in the day, so this is a man who transitioned without telling anyone.
One day u will work it out.
That’s a man.
No it woman
One day u will work it out the difference
It keeps talking about her sexy underwear, defo a transdudite
Ako su ovi prilozi dostupni i nama u Srbiji, zasto nema prevoda na nas jezik.

Mozda mi je decko jos ziv a da ja to ne znam?Ako se pojavi, udacu se za njega. NISAM LUDA VEC UPORNA.
