Titanic øjenvidneberetning

It was April 15, 1912. I was on the “unsinkable” boat, RMS Titanic. I was going on a trip to New York, to visit my family. I were walking outside on the deck, when I heard a big sound. It sounded like something crashed or punctured, but I didn’t think much about it. When I heard the alarm and saw the people running around panicking, I automatically started to panic too. I couldn’t understand what it was that were happening. Everyone gathered outside on the deck. The boat had hit an iceberg, which scraped one of the sides, which did so the water could come inside the boat. Its 12 am when the captains begins to send a SOS alarms out in hope to get someone to rescue us. There are a few ships that wanted to help but they were too far away. We had started to sink the lifeboats filled with women and children. I thought that there was enough lifeboats for us all, so I helped the other people get down first. One side of the boat had started to rise from the ocean, and before I could even start to understand what was going on, the ship split in two, and one of the sides fell directly into the ocean and made a huge wave, which made it hard for the people there already were in the ocean to get away. The other side I were on started to turn straight up instead of horizontal. I tried my best to find something to hold onto, because I didn’t want to give up, and I knew if I fell down, I would die either by hitting something or by the ice-cold water. In the end couldn’t I do it anymore. I let go and fell into the water, and then everything turned black. The next thing I remember is waking up on a boat rapped in a blanket. I couldn’t believe I made it. I couldn’t understand any of the things that happened. I went up to ask the captain where we were going to, and he said New York. The captain and I talked all together all the way from the Atlantic ocean to New York. I brought him with me, when I visited my family. Now we have been married for 20 years and have two kids. I still have nightmares about what happened, I remember how scared I was and the way I thought I would die and there was nothing there could help me. It was a miracle, because look at me now. I have never been happier. However, I know that, this is something that will always haunt me.
