Creator's Key Takeaways

I was in my cabin when it happened. A violent impact, and everything tilted.

I heard a massive bang. I went into the corridor and saw water already coming in.

We didn't even have time to collect our things. We just ran, barefoot, terrified.

Up there, people didn't even know the ship was sinking.
