I bet they slam their gears into reverse faster than the Titanic when it saw the iceberg up ahead.

History nerd here. The funny thing about that is that the Titanic going full reverse and hard to starboard probably is what doomed it. Had they killed the prop and hit the iceberg head on it's theorized that the watertight compartments could've contained the blow to a small section and the ship would've sunk much slower allowing time for the Carpathia to save more people.

So if the captain of the ship had actually believed the ship was indestructible, quantum physics would have saved it? /jk
