Frankfurt at 85 nautical miles, Piama at 70 nautical miles...
The cruise ship Carpathia is 60 nautical miles... It will take three hours at the fastest to arrive.
If Russell hadn't pretended to be a robber and asked the telegraph operator to send a distress telegram, there would never be so many ships nearby.
Even for the nearest Carpathia, it took more than four hours to arrive at the wreck site for rescue in the movie, but now it only takes three hours.
This is also because the Titanic's speed is too fast. Even if the distress signal is sent in advance, other ships cannot catch up. They can only follow behind or take a shortcut from the flank.
The crew was lowering the lifeboat, and Russell found Astor and others.
Tell them women and children get on the lifeboats first, so let Mrs. Brown and Ruth, Ida and other ladies go first.
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about us. Women shouldn't die before men. Although we are not gentlemen, we must be gentlemen when we die," Guggenheim said.
Russell smiled and said, "Ms. Brown, I am your security advisor. I can die, but you must live."
"Professional!" Guggenheim gave a thumbs up.
Astor persuaded: "Ms. Brown, Walker is very straightforward, don't embarrass him."
Mrs. Brown nodded hesitantly, "Then you all pay attention to safety."
"You too."
Originally, Ruth was reluctant to accompany Russell, but he slapped him twice in public, and then left with Mrs. Brown and the others with aggrieved face.
"Walker, I believe in you, if you need our help, just say it."
Russell smiled: "I hope you can survive."
"What about the rest?"
"I can only say my best."
Helping Astor and Guggenheim survive is because it is profitable.
As for whether other people can survive, it depends on how fate arranges. Of course, Russell also hopes that they can survive. After all, how many points can the heavens add when scoring.
But the lifeboats are really not enough, they can only use the surfboards made temporarily by the carpenters...
Russell saw a band near the stairs on the main deck, and they were about to play at this time to prevent the passengers from panic when they fled.
"Mr. Wallace, please play a piece of Beethoven's Moonlight."
Wallace, the conductor and violinist of the band, responded with a smile when he heard Russell's point: "Okay, Mr. Walker."
Immediately, this piece of pain and grief sounded.
It is very relevant to the current mental journey of people.
At this moment, the sea water had submerged the 48-foot-high crew lounge, the ship sank nearly 6 meters, and the left and right rows of portholes were submerged underwater.
The engineers are still using water pumps at the bottom of the ship to pump water out with all their strength, hoping to slow down the sinking speed of the ship and provide passengers with more time to survive.
At this time, the sixth officer Moody rushed over and reported: "Mr. Walker, the nearest ship to us, the Carpathia, is coming towards our position, but the fastest arrival time will be 3 hours!"
"You go and help Lowe lower the collapsible lifeboat and let the children get on board and stay away from this ship."
"Ok!"
0 points.
When the No. 6 boiler room and the five airtight compartments were flooded, the water completely flooded to the e-deck. There was no waterproof measure here, and the sleep quickly poured in from the top.
The hull gradually tilted, and the railing at the bow slowly touched the sea surface.
Tommy is working with the carpenters on making an escape raft, but he's clearly using his powers in the wrong place.
"Tommy, what the hell are you doing?"
"boss…"
Russell frowned and said, "You can let Lemay or Adam watch, and then you should go to the deck to maintain law and order! Now this ship has been taken over by us, understand?"
"I...boss, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry...I..."
"Get your wife and children in the lifeboat, hurry up!"
"Ah! Okay, boss, thank you!"
After Tommy left, Russell asked Laimai to organize people to transport the life-saving raft to the bow, put the raft directly into the sea from the bow, and let the passengers sit on it.
This kind of raft can carry four or five adults. After all, it is simple and its buoyancy is not very great.
"Old carpenter, you should save some rafts for your own use, your life is your life."
"Yes, Mr. Walker, you are a good, good man."
"I hope to see you in America."
"Well, as long as we can survive, we will definitely keep our promise."
Outside, the sky instantly brightened.
This is a distress rocket, shining strangely in the dark night.
The purpose is to let the nearby ships that have not received the distress signal see it, indicating that the ship is in distress and requesting rescue.
In fact, a freighter did see the rocket signal nearby, and the crew reported the news to the captain, but the captain thought it was the nobles setting off fireworks and ignored it.
Tommy sent his wife and children into the lifeboat, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Women and children get into the lifeboat first! Whoever dares to resist will die first!"
After speaking, he raised his gun and fired two shots into the sky.
clang clang!
The gunshots woke up many of the confused passengers.
It happened that Russell went to the deck and said to Tommy and First Officer Wilde: "Anyone who dares to disturb the order will be shot!"
"Passengers! If you want to survive, you must obey! I am a professional safety consultant, and my name is Russell Walker!"
People looked at each other in blank dismay, and then there was a lot of discussion.
They've all heard Walker's name these days, and their assessment of him has been mostly positive.
"Mr. Walker, what should we do?"
"You just need to obey the order! Let the women and children board the lifeboat first, while you use local materials, find wooden, suspended objects, and then launch from the bow and leave!"
"In order for you to survive at sea, you must be united! Someone will distribute bread and drinking water at the bow to ensure that you can survive at sea."
Russell pointed at Thain and said, "Go to the bow to maintain law and order."
"Yes."
With Tommy and others and the crew threatening with guns, the passengers calmed down a lot, which made the evacuation work go smoothly.
But Russell found that some of the lifeboats were not full at all, and the crew lowered the lifeboats.
"Lettler!"
"Yes, Mr. Walker, at your command."
Russell said: "Why did the lifeboat go down before it was full?"
"It's because I'm afraid of capsizing halfway."
"It will not capsize. The quality of the lifeboats on the Titanic is very good. Each lifeboat must be full of 65 people!"
The full load is 70 people, and it is not the limit of the lifeboat, but it may be the limit of the crane rope.
"Ok."
Letler responded, turned around and went to explain one by one.
The two fully loaded lifeboats were lowered and landed steadily on the sea surface. The concerned crew members breathed a sigh of relief. As Mr. Walker said, the quality of the lifeboats was really good.
Then, other lifeboats were also loaded with passengers, and each lifeboat was equipped with 1 or 2 crew members to paddle, comfort and encourage the passengers...
Captain Smith walked into the cab, smoking a pipe and quietly looking at the sea ahead, waiting for death.
His heart was very complicated, and he didn't know why he listened to Ismay's suggestion and increased the speed to 23 knots.I also regret that I didn't listen to Russell's warning... But I regret that it's too late. Since the ship is about to sink, he can't live.
The same is true for Andrews. He stands in front of the big pendulum clock in the restaurant, flipping the pointer, imagining that time can be reversed and this disaster can be avoided, but it is a pity that time cannot be reversed, and he also has to face the disaster.
Astor, Guggenheim and others were helping the remaining women and children board the lifeboats. They were not idle and did their best to help people escape.
1 points.
Sea water poured into No. 4 boiler room, and the front of the restaurant almost became a diving training ground. The center of gravity of the ship continued to move forward slowly, and the originally calm deck fell into chaos at this time.
Because the passengers realized the seriousness of the situation and looked at dozens of lifeboats and the remaining more than 1000 people, they began to fall into fear.
They rushed towards the lifeboat one by one, Tommy and the crew standing on the side of the boat immediately raised their guns.
"Do you dare to shoot?"
"Kill me, you are a murderer!"
clang!
Tommy and the crew froze for a moment.
The head of the man in front of him was blown, and he fell on the deck in a daze.
Russell held his gun, smoking from the muzzle.
He asked with a straight face, "Who wants to try again?"
No one answered.
People did not expect that Russell would dare to shoot, let alone that he was so decisive.
At this moment, a figure jumped out from Murdoch, ran directly to the lifeboat, and sat with the women and children.
Russell turned to look at him, and said indifferently, "Mr. Ismay, didn't you hear what I said?"
Ismay was startled, and said, "Mr. Walker, I...I still owe you money, I can give you double, no, five times!"
Russell shook his head, "This is a matter of principle, you can't be special just because you are the owner of this ship."
There was some movement in the crowd at first, but after hearing this sentence, they immediately fell silent.
They didn't expect that it was the owner of the Titanic who sneaked into the lifeboat!
So what would Mr. Walker do?
Kang!
Gunshots.
Russell fired his gun into the air, then aimed the gun at Ismay, and said, "Mr. Ismay, you only have one chance to get off the boat."
Ismay yelled repeatedly: "No, Walker, you can't do this to me, I have money...I can pay you a lot of money...Our relationship..."
At this moment, Tommy rushed forward, raised his hand and pulled Ismay out of the lifeboat.
Because Tommy's hands-on ability was really difficult to talk about, after pulling out half of Ismay's body, his arm felt a little cramped, so he relaxed a little.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ismay fell directly from the gap between the side of the boat and the lifeboat without holding him steady.
Pfft!
The sound of falling water is very clear.
Tommy turned his head in a daze, and said, "Boss, he jumped into the sea."
"Mr. Ismay is too guilty."
Russell turned his head, glanced at the stunned crowd, and asked, "Have you all seen it? Mr. Ismay, the owner of the Titanic, jumped into the sea because of guilt."
The crowd nodded dumbly, and murmured: "Look, I saw it."
"Very well, please cooperate with the crew's work."
The bow of the ship was immersed in the sea, and the three huge propellers at the stern were raised high.
As the inclination became higher and higher, the simple raft that Russell asked the carpenters to make could be easily launched into the water, and nearly 150 people escaped by using the raft.
When the carpenters disassembled the door panels, some passengers also learned what they learned. They threw the removed door panels to the bow, waited for the door panels to float up, and then climbed up. They used the wooden oars made of bed panels to paddle towards the distance.
All lifeboats have been lowered, and the twenty ships are carrying 1060 people.
At this time, there were more than 700 people standing on the deck, including Russell, Tommy, Astor and others.
