Reply to TIL that Titanic crewman Herbert Pitman made an attempt to row his lifeboat over to rescue people in the water, but was overruled by the other occupants of the boat, who were worried about people swarming them and duly complied. Pitman said that this haunted him throughout his life. by ChadExtra

Another lifeboat rowed past an open door with people yelling for them to come over, but they didn't. They were scared that people would jump into the lifeboat en masse and sink it
