This is honestly the weirdest coincidence of this whole affair .
Without an absolute doubt, the saddest moment of the movieTitanicis when they’re doing the montage of the boat going down, and they show the old people on the bed.
I’m not kidding when I say this is a formative moment of my life. I think about it constantly.
And for those who don’t know, this couple is based on real-life people.
Their names were Isidor and Ida Straus, and they were first-class passengers on theTitanic.
According to theNational Archives, Isidor and Ida went to the lifeboats when theTitanicstruck an iceberg. Isidor refused to get on a lifeboat because he was elderly and younger men were around him. Ida also refused, saying, “Where you go, I go.”
According toreports, the two were last seen on deck holding hands before a wave washed them away.
There’s even a deleted scene showing this moment in the movie:
Fast-forward 100 years, and there’s an eerie connection between this couple and someone on board the missing vessel.
Stockton Rush is the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, and he’s the captain of the missing vessel.
TheNew York Timesfound out that his wife, Wendy Rush, is actually the great-great-grandchild of Isidor and Ida Straus.
Sooo that means this whole thing is technically connected to the old people on the bed in the movie.
