So one thing I've noticed in quite a few representations of the sinking - A Night to Remember and James Cameron's Titanic being two of them - is that during scenes of the engine room that depict the later stages of the sinking the switches shut off by themselves and thus the engineers repeatedly try to hold them in place in order to keep the power on.
I've brought this up with both of my parents and my Dad says that this happens as a precaution so people don't get electrocuted (We have something similar in our bathroom) while my Mom says this kind of tech simply wasn't around during 1912 and it was gravity forcing the switches down.
Forum, your thoughts?
