Antares just wants to show his stuff off.
According to your signature I see what person you are.
I'm going with the "he wanted to show off his stuff" side. I obviously already knew what Titanic looked like when it was sinking.
James Cameron exaggerated the sinking for cinematic effect. Also, around 67k.
I hope you go for accuracy and only include the exact number of life boats, we don't need to save many lives here. Only important lives matter.
NO! IT NEEDS 50 LIFE BOATS ON BOTH SIDES!
