It is also claimed that Titanic's distress signals were initially ignored because they were firing off the non-emergency flares. By the time they were using the correct color, it was too late. Not sure how believable that is, or if it is a common nautical mistake? Seems like a lame excuse.
Yeah they sent up white flares, which mean nothing. Or used for illumination or something like that.
There was a number of stacked factors against the titanic. Not saying she wasn’t intentionally sunk… because going all ahead flank through an ice berg field in the middle of the night makes it seem pretty intentional. She was doomed.
I think the flares were said to be "fireworks" so they ignored them. Yeah always good to let off fireworks in the middle of no where in the dead of night!
Technically they did because it was policy to shut down their radio room. I can’t remember what it was, but something to do with crew size.
