Message: [QUOTE="Christine Geyer, post: 252455, member: 197889"] Dear Cook**, Michael and Diane !! Thank you all for your replies. Yes, it's a strange and at the same time fascinating thing: You have one accident, 10 eyewitnesses and 10 differing accounts. Diane, you have your own experience in that, which is quite interesting. And in the whole Titanic-story there are different testifies. In the case of - for example - the last song I guess it's just a matter of the time and place people were located, I'm sure they all believe in what they stated about the last song played by the band. In other cases though one can only wonder how it comes about all those different stories, even considering the sensational press pushing them. (For example Capt. Smiths end. There are a whole lot bunch of testifies that state they saw him standing at the bride when the water came in and he was drowned, jumping into the water and drowned, committing suicide, swimming in the water and saving a baby.... etc.) Just in Lawrences case I was wondering about how it came that he believed the ship sank in one piece. I agree, I'm sure he wrote what he was sure happened. Just in his case I find it remarkable because he was that careful about everything and that attentive. Maybe that would be a good reason, Cook** that he didn't have the chance to see it right from his position. I sometimes thought about what he would've said if he had lived long enough until the discovery of the wreck in two halves. Michael, same actually for Lightoller and Gracie, you're right. Many regards Christine [/QUOTE]
