“Fifteen hundred people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under...” – Old Rose, Titanic ... Movie Quotes Database

A scene from Titanic 1997

Fifteen hundred people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were twenty boats floating nearby and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six... out of fifteen hundred. Afterward, the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait. Wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution that would never come.
