The Carpathia, southeast of the Titanic by about 58 miles, picks up the distress call and immediately heads full speed to the rescue. The first lifeboat is safely lowered away. It can carry 65 people, but only leaves with 28. The first distress rocket if fired. Eight rockets are fired the whole night.
Lifeboats now begin to leave fully loaded.
Passengers begin to move back to the stern area. The last lifeboat leaves. There are now over 1,500 people left on the ship. The tilt of Titanic's deck grows steeper and steeper. The bow plunges under, many passengers and crew jump off, slowly freezing.
