Antonis M. Tsarouchis wrote that the millionaire John Jacob Astor IV was aboard the Titanic and that the money in his bank account was enough, according to him, for the construction of 30 ships of this type. He added that when faced with mortal danger, Astor gave up his place on a lifeboat to save two frightened children. Tsarouchis also mentioned that Isidor Straus, co-owner of the Macy's department store chain, refused to board a lifeboat before other men. According to the post, his wife, Ida Straus, also refused to board and gave her place to her newly appointed maid, choosing to spend her last moments with her husband. Tsarouchis argued that their choices showed they preferred their moral principles over wealth and even their lives. #Ηθική #Ανθρωπιά #Τιτανικός (translated)
