that is enraging a lot of people, as well. >> we have been speaking with survivors, bill, who say they heard that announcement. many of them decided to stay put. they put on their life jackets. some decided not to listen to that. as we know, there were two hours that they had between the distress call that came at 8:55 a.m. and the ship was virtually underwater by 11:00. so there was precious time that was lost. so the people who didn't listen to that and were able to get to the deck had a better chance, of course, of being saved. it is this kind of information, bill, the information that the captain was not in the steering room and the fact the passengers were told to stay put when they could have tried to get to safety is what is angering so many of the families here. >> you don't have to be a sailor to know one of the oldest rules of the sea is it is women and children first. the captain goes down with the ship. it is maritime law in many ways.
