多年前看电影《泰坦尼克号》时,有一个镜头是小两口跑过底舱,很多工人在里面烧锅炉,操作机器。我当时就想,这些工人最后有几个人能活下来?
搜了一下资料,还真有详细的分仓存活率统计:
The Titanic Passenger and Crew Statistics

| 1st Class On Board | 1st Class Survived | 2nd Class On Board | 2nd Class Survived | 3rd Class On Board | 3rd Class Survived | Crew On Board | Crew Survived | |
| Men | 175 | 57 | 168 | 14 | 462 | 75 | 192 | |
| Women | 144 | 140 | 93 | 80 | 165 | 76 | 23 | |
| Children | 6 | 5 | 24 | 24 | 79 | 27 | ||
| Total | 325 | 202 | 285 | 118 | 706 | 178 | 913 | 215 |
| Total Passengers = 1316 | Total Crew = 913 | |||||||
| Total Survived = 498 | Total Survived = 215 | |||||||
| Total On Board Titanic = 2229 | ||||||||
| Total Survivors = 713 | ||||||||
1等舱存活率:62%
2等舱存活率:41%
3等舱存活率:25%
船员存活率:24% (里面底舱工人有多少就不知道了)
特别是孩子,一等、二等舱30个孩子只死了一个,存活率97%。三等舱79个孩子就只有34%了。一等舱的女人,存活率是97%,三等舱就只有46%。
Wikipedia上也有统计:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Titanic#Survivors.2C_victims_and_statistics。
底舱的锅炉工人当场是没有机会体现其高尚的——死后一百年也没有,没人会给他们拍电影,拍出来也没人看。
观众要看这样的人的故事:
而不是下面这样的人。就算你是这样的人,也要混到一等舱,和一个有97%生还率的富家小姐勾搭上,才有表现高尚的机会。
在泰坦尼克号上什么最重要?投胎投得好最重要。
