Adrift Titanic Redemption
Over one hundred years ago, the “unsinkable” Titanic set out on her first and only voyage. Once the iceberg hit, was there any way the disastrous loss of life could have been averted, or at least ameliorated? Could more have been saved from a frigid death?
The answer is yes. Through the eyes of one young man, experience his unique perspective on how to keep passengers alive – just long enough to be rescued. Watch as he loses the new love he found aboard. Witness his struggle to get a hearing for his plan.
Below him, he heard a shot, then another; a body hit the water. The waves from the impact rocked the silent, life-jacketed heads nearby. Soon he would become one of them, bobbing lifelessly in the North Atlantic. Was there no other way?
“What other way?” he asked himself aloud. The ship was sinking in the middle of the ocean! There was no other in sight, within range of any probable rescue. All the lifeboats were full and away. Passengers like himself – like Julia – would be swept into the ocean, into the numbing cold, a watery door to oblivion.
Damn them! It was his life, his turn for action! He would do something before his time was up. Win would not play the helpless spectator; he would take his shot, hit or miss. But what? He had to think this through.
Focusing on a simple, linear problem had always been hard for him, boy of free spirit and mind. Complex problems intrigued him. Yet this was so complex as to defy solution, leaving only the chaos of an untimely end. He refused to accept that, quixotic as that may seem. So often in his life he had seen things differently, come up with an answer that no one else had anticipated. He just had to look.
