Why?
Why did the Titanic band keep playing? Why did they not get into one of the lifeboats and escape?
Well, a friend of DIT may have found the answer and sent us a link to an article which likely answers the question.
Also, as you probably know, the song / hymn the band played as the giant ship sank was "Nearer my God to Thee".
If you would like to hear a piano play the hymn as you read the words, HERE'S THE LINK
And if you would like to read the Wikipedia account of the sinking, HERE'S THE LINK
