#4I really expected this to be metaphorical from the title. And not just any sinking ship, but the most famous sinking ship in history. Fascinating, but hard to generalize!

#5I was about to scroll past this submission when I had a sudden attack of superstition that, if I don't read it, I will eventually find myself on a sinking ship in the middle of the ocean and curse myself for not reading the damn HN article.

#6"Up and out." Nothing to do with Titanic, but based on reading disaster articles on Wikipedia, my advice is, if a ship you are on takes on a noticeable list, get to the high side immediately. If the list worsens, get outside on the deck. Beyond a certain point, a list has a way of accelerating, and interior corridors become canyons and floors become walls, dooming everyone on the low side.

#7Seems like the safest thing to do would be to wait until the ship is about to go down, then activate your time machine and return from whence you came...

#8clickbait title, the author only describes how to escape Titanic in 1912 if you happen to have a time machine and a cheap ticket to lower deck.
This advice doesn't generalize well.
