Question: What was the total amount of people that died when the Titanic sunk?
About the article "Sinking of the RMS Titanic", section "Abstract".

Candidate passages:
Mary died on July 29, 1987 in Syracuse, New York at age 104.
She was the longest-lived "Titanic" survivor, and one of only about 30 that were alive when the "Titanic"s wreckage was discovered in 1985. 
  Horace Lawson Hunley (died 1863, age 40), Confederate marine engineer and inventor of the first combat submarine, CSS "Hunley", died during a trial of his vessel.
During a routine exercise of the submarine, which had already sunk twice previously, Hunley took command.
After failing to resurface, Hunley and the seven other crew members drowned.
Thomas Andrews (shipbuilder) (7 February 1873 – 15 April 1912) was an Irish businessman and shipbuilder; managing director and head of the drafting department for the shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Ireland.
Andrews was the naval architect in charge of the plans for the ocean liner RMS "Titanic".
He was travelling on board the "Titanic" during its maiden voyage when it hit an iceberg on 14 April 1912 and was one of the 1,507 people who perished in the disaster.  
The family and their maid boarded the "Titanic" at Cherbourg and they occupied cabins C68 and C70.
On the Sunday afternoon before the ship sank Marian and her friend Emily Ryerson went for a stroll on the deck and encountered White Star official, Bruce Ismay.
According to Ryerson, Ismay showed them a telegram which said there were icebergs in the area.
She also claimed in a deposition to the US Senate Inquiry about the "Titanic" that Ismay said that they were going to start extra boilers on the ship.
After the "Titanic" struck the iceberg, Marian and her maid Margaret Fleming were taken to Lifeboat 4 where they joined other women such as Madeleine Astor, Lucile Carter, and Emily Ryerson.
After the lifeboat had rowed away from the "Titanic," Marian gave her own account of what happened as follows: ""The after part of the ship then reared in the air, with the stern upwards, until it assumed an almost vertical position.
It seemed to remain stationary in this position for many seconds (perhaps twenty), then suddenly dove straight down out of sight.
It was 2.20 am.
when the Titanic disappeared, according to a wrist watch worn by one of the passengers in my boat".
"We pulled back to where the vessel had sunk and on our way picked up six men who were swimming - two of whom were drunk and gave us much trouble all the time.
The six men we picked up were hauled into the boat by the women.
Two of these men died in the boat.
The boat we were in started to take in water; I do not know how.
We had to bail.
I was standing in ice cold water up to the top of my boots all the time, and rowing continuously for nearly five hours.
We took off about fifteen more people who were standing on a capsized boat.
In all, our boat had by that time sixty-five or sixty-six people.
There was no room to sit down in our boat, so we all stood, except some sitting along the side".
""The boat I was in was picked up by the "Carpathia" at 7 a.m. on Monday, we having rowed three miles to her, as we could not wait for her to come up on account of our boat taking in so much water that we would not have stayed afloat much longer".
Marian, her maid and her son Jack Thayer survived the sinking of the "Titanic" but her husband John Borland Thayer went down with the ship.
When the "Carpathia" docked, Marian’s brother was there to meet them and took them in a special train that had been arranged for survivors back to their home in Haverford.
Unknowingly Marian still had in the pocket of her overcoat the White Star brochure about the "Titanic" which contained information about the ship and included a list of First Class Passengers.
The cover of the brochure and the first page of the passenger list are shown on the right.
It still bears the mark of being folded. 
 The P&O Line ocean liner "Oceana", bound from London to Bombay, sank after colliding with the German barge "Pisagua" at Beachy Head.
All of the 241 passengers and crew were evacuated from the ship, but nine people died when their lifeboat, first to be launched, was swamped and capsized, and another lifeboat took on so much water that it was on the verge of turning over before its occupants were saved.
One author would note later that the event "surely contributed to the initial reluctance of "Titanic" passengers to board their lifeboats" Richard Davenport-Hines, "Titanic Lives: Migrants and Millionaires, Conmen and Crew" (HarperCollins UK, 2012) the following month.
After removal of the bodies of the sailors who died in its 1898 explosion, the U.S.S.
"Maine" was towed to sea by the USS "Osceola" into international waters, three miles from Havana Harbor, and sunk again to a depth of 620 fathoms (roughly 3,700 feet or 1,100 meters).
The U.S. Senate passed a bill giving "local citizenship" to residents of the Philippines who had been subjects of Spain in 1899.
President Taft signed the bill into law on March 23.

Harold Thomas Cottam (27 January 1891 – 30 May 1984) was the wireless operator on the RMS "Carpathia" when the SOS from the sinking RMS "Titanic" was sent.
It was also he who awakened Captain Arthur Henry Rostron after receiving the distress signal.
Without his diligence, and the somewhat fortuitous circumstances, many more people might have died in the "Titanic" disaster.
Cottam was off duty and about to go to bed, but he left the radio on and listened to Cape Race, reputedly to learn the results of Saturday's football matches.
He heard Cape Race advise that they had private traffic for the "Titanic" and thought it would be helpful to inform the "Titanic" of this.
In reply he received Jack Phillips's SOS call.
Cottam received a "hero's welcome" when the "Carpathia" reached New York.
He continued to work at sea until 1922, when he took a job as a sales representative.
