To me, it must have been tough
for the people who survived,

1:08:29
knowing they could have possibly
gone back

1:08:31
and rescued some of the people
in the water

1:08:34
once the ship had gone under.
1:08:36
To go in there
would have been suicide

1:08:38
and nothing less.
1:08:39
We've got 1, 500 people
in the water

1:08:42
all screaming for help,
fighting for their lives.

1:08:44
You could easily have
50, 100 people

1:08:47
trying to climb onboard at once.
1:08:49
They're sitting
in a lifeboat, safe.

1:08:52
To not row back or to have that
not in your mind,

1:08:55
I can't believe that
of somebody.

1:08:57
How safe are you in a lifeboat
1:08:59
in the middle
of the North Atlantic?

1:09:01
"Titanic" is that thing
1:09:02
you always try to
measure yourself against.

1:09:05
"What would I have done if I
would have been on the deck?"

1:09:08
Heroism and character
1:09:09
will always be the domain of
the individual, not the group.

1:09:13
That's what will never change.
1:09:18
On one of the later dives,
1:09:20
Jim decided to go back into the
first-class spaces on "D" deck

1:09:23
and have "Mir-2" shine lights
1:09:25
through those leaded-glass
windows from the outside.

1:09:28
- Getting ready?
- Yes.

1:09:30
Here comes the light.
1:09:31
Nice.
1:09:33
Perfect.
1:09:44
Not since April 14, 1912,
1:09:47
had human eyes seen light
1:09:50
pouring through
these beautiful windows.

1:09:57
A lot of the washstands
have fallen over,
