Well look!!!! It's Mac from First Class

Welcome,
Keep this in mind about Thomas Andrews...he took the place of a man before him (and I can't think of his name right now...I just had it a moment ago....I hate it when that happens). The man before him was fired from White Star because he kept pushing for more lifeboats to be placed aboard Titanic. Andrews took his place and managed to get 4 more placed on board...however, he probably would have gotten fired too, for pushing more lifeboats. White Star would have kept hiring people to take their place until they had gotten what they wanted. I don't think Andrews really agreed with White Star...but he tried to accomodate both passenger and company...searching for a compromise. Not thinking that the unthinkable was going to occur on Titanic. Imagine what must have raced through his mind the moment he realized Titanic was going to sink. It's no wonder he didn't try for a lifeboat..he knew there wasn't enough. As a gentleman I don't think he would have set foot in a life boat. But I think the company was more to blame than Andrews....but the moment that happened...I bet Andrews blamed himself.
