On the other side men were preparing to push collapsible B off of the roof of the officers quarters "ANY SPEAR HANDS?" Lightoller would shout. Ben would climb up and help to begin push. "STEADY! STEADY!" They would push the boat upside down. Lightoller would look at the water begining to flood the boat deck. "LEAVE IT THERE'S NO TIME!" "Get the falls over here now!" Ordered chief officer Wilde on the starboard side. "HENRY! HENRY GET BACK HERE!" John would shout as Henry kept running aft. Murdoch would climb up on top of the officers quarters to see a bunch of third class women and children rush out of the grandstaircase. Murdoch was under the impression that nearly all the women and children were off the ship. John would catch up to Henry. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" "I- I dont know.." Responded Henry. John would look around. "We have to stay on the ship as long as possible!" They'd begin to run the the very back of the stern. As the bridge was nearly half flooded on the port side, due to the port list the crew over at collapsible A thought they had enough time to lower the boat over the side like a normal boat, then all of a sudden the port list evened out. A hugh amount of water was sent up the starboard side boat deck. "THERE'S NO TIME!" Wilde would shout. "CUT THOSE FALLS!" "I NEED A KNIFE! I NEED A KNIFE!"  A sailor would shout. "CUT THE FALLS! CUT 'EM LOOSE!" 6th officer Moody would shout. "CUT THOSE FALLS! CUT THOSE BLOODY FALLS!" Wilde shouted. Although they managed to cut the falls, the ship had dragged the boat down so much to the point the boat was half full with water. John clinged onto the railing as he looked at Henry, Henry looked down over the railing. The ship was begining to plunge rapidly. Ben clung onto collapsible B. when the funnel collapsed missing him by an inch. "GIVE ME YOUR HAND!" Lightoller pulled him up. 4th officer Boxhall would look at the ship from his boat, he turned and shouted "BLOODY PULL FASTER AND PULL!" All of a sudden Henry would climb over the railing and jump. "AHHH!" WAIT NO!" John would shout. Henry would hit the propeller on the way down. "Christ.." The power woukd go out. Women and children still on the board screamed and cried for help. No one could see anything. Groans could be hear from the ship. The ship would begin to break apart. "AHHHH!!!!" John would shout as the stern fell back. "GAH!" The stern would begin to rise again. "HELP!" People cried as they fell to their death. Their cold icy deaths.. John would struggle to hold onto the railing when the Chief baker Charles Joughin began to help him over the railing. They'd both watch as the stern quickly dissapeard at their feet..
