Episode 183 | Historical Events


In this History episode we focus on the sinking of the Titanic — April 15th, 1912, how the largest moving object ever built was sunk by an iceberg in under three hours, why the lifeboats could only carry half the people on board, and how the survival rates of first-class and third-class passengers illustrated the class system of Edwardian society with mathematical precision.


First-class passengers survived at 62 percent. Third-class at 25 percent. Lifeboat Number 1 had a capacity of 40. It launched with 12.
