How many people died in the disaster out of 2,228

Thats Correct!
The Titanic was built  originally with enough
lifeboat capacity for everyone on the ship(20),
the boat deck  seemed too crowded when everyone
was on,so half of the lifeboats were taken off
the ship(now only 10). When the great ship was
speeding toward New York City, it struck an
iceberg about 153km south of the Grand Banks,
Newfoundland. It was only minutes before midnight
on April 14, 1912,only 2 weeks or less of travel.
The Titanic sank in three hours.People filled
the boats much less than full because they were
worried about being too crowded.In the end of
this, 1,513 out of the 2,228 passengers died in
the freezing ocean .
