While it is a good estimate that most people would die within 5 minutes of entering the water after the collision with the iceberg, a few did beat the odds. Nine people were actually pulled from the water after the lifeboats had already launched, but only six survived after being rescued. Another 30 managed to survive by standing on the upturned hull of one of the collapsible lifeboats (B), which they were unable to right.
