[@chrisparsons2791]

A simple but very important part of history that should not be lost, thank you for covering this topic. When most of us think of history, we think of when a war started, or when an empire was founded, or when an influential movement began; this seemingly small, inconsequential event is actually very important to this man and his family, and that is history that must not be forgotten.

[@alexf8314]

Very well said.

[@alexiascheidt9430]

Yeah! The sinking of the Titanic was VERY Like 100% sad but the Britannic was 95% sad

[@dizzblue8329]

Chris Parsons Ton of words But me just 2 words Ok

[@314rft]

+Alexia Scheidt Well, the Britannic didn't have really any civilians on it when it sank, and the amount of casualties was a LOT lower (pretty much just the people who got chopped up in the 2 life boats that got eaten by the propeller), also, even if people didn't make it to the life boats, the water was a LOT warmer than the North Atlantic, and there was land nearby in the visible range, so not getting a lifeboat wasn't certain death. The real thing about the Britannic is that it sank by hitting an enemy mine. However, apparently, it was "accidental", aka the mine was just set up, not aiming for any specific ship. So it was almost like a man place iceberg in effect.

[@alexiascheidt9430]

Oh well I guess your right

His grandson is Haruomi Hosono, one of the greatest musicians in the history of Japanese pop music, and a pioneer of musical genres like synthpop, techno, J-rock and city pop. I'd highly recommend listening to Haruomi Hosono's "Sports Men" (1982), which is an excellent song, with a great melody, catchy beats, and touching lyrics (which sounds like references to his grandfather).

[@fatherkarl9291]

And the hypocrites would then say “uH nO i WoUlD gO dOwN wItH dIgNiTy!” These type of bafoons doesn’t know the reasons of the men who went down willingly. Capt. Smith knew he has to go down because he knows the Captain’s tradition to go down and accepts it. Thomas andrews felt guilt and felt he had to go down with it. The engineers went down because they wanted a rescuing ship to see Titanic’s lights for the passengers in the life boats to embark on and anyone who is lost within the ship can see their path and to keep the pumps running in hopes it would create enough time for the passengers to be saved before they can save themselves. The people who went down had a reason to went down and not because they wanted to be praised like heroes, something the hypocrites completely ignores.

[@spectralrobot5682]

I understand letting children on the lifeboats first but why do women get to go in before men? THATS NOT GENDER EQUALITY!!!!!

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

Spectral Robot This was back before women had rights. In those times, women were seen as fragile creatures that could never endure what men could. In the freezing water, the women were believed to perish long before the men. Today is different, but in those days, it was considered dishonorable for men to save themselves before women and children. It wasn't just this Japanese guy, lots of wealthy white men lost social status after it was revealed they allowed women and children to perish. This is how I think evacuations should be done: children and PREGNANT women first (for the unborn baby), the elderly and ill/disabled next, then all able bodied men and women last.

Whoever gets to the lifeboat first gets a seat.

[@Hawtload]

sounds like CNN was writing articles back then too

[@gavitawaii6826]

If women are equal to men why's is it women and children first and why not men and children FIRST

[@celyn4304]

Gavit Awaii Lol you do realize this happened 100 years ago right? People thought that women were weak and fragile, and men wanted to protect them.

[@asianlifter]

TheLilOtaku True that.

[@kelvinxu3013]

Shamefur dispray!!

[@gamertv4502]

Actually everyone wants to survive for his self

[@waraftermath4202]

Umm..interested

[@rapidicus6487]

Hey if I was there I’d do the same.

[@TheCoomer]

Rapidicus and take the seat of a child?

[@lewisb85]

He was the grandfather of Japanese musician/film scorer Haruomi Hosono, Apparently Haruomi spent a lot of money trying to restore the family name, not just publishing the diary but also letters.

[@vegabondgloria288]

I think what's also important to remember is that Hosono was married and had children. As he witnessed four lifeboats launching, he was apparently "deep in desolate thought that I would no more be able to see my beloved wife and children, since there was no alternative for me than to share the same destiny as the Titanic." He could have chosen to stay aboard and die or get into one of the lifeboats, survive, and be reunited with his family. His story is not much different than that of J. Bruce Ismay, chairman and managing director of the White Star Line, who also survived the sinking; they were both criticized and called cowards by the media due to social norms at the time.

[@stavroskassinos7834]

i once read some "fact" somewhere that said he was ostracized for simply not going down with the other passengers. now this makes much more sense

[@nightlegend9226]

He should of Sue the News Papers for false information, and Defamation.

[@senseiwill8815]

If the most hardcore feminists were sent back to the Titanic.., They would still complain because most men were at the big ship while women were sitting on a small boat 😂

[@Summercompany]

Instead of committed sepuku he go brrrr by doing banzai

[@aisforamerica2185]

Captain Smith ordered "women and children first, then men" half the crew didn't hear that last part. One side of the ship they let men on, and the other side the sent off lifeboats if there were no other woman and children to put on. utter chaos.

[@baileyryan488]

This is really sad. I cried towards the end.

[@MiMayonGo]

How painful it is if you got bullied till your dead.

[@johnyricco1220]

This is perhaps due to the fact that 2nd class male passengers had the highest death rate on the Titanic, only 8% survived

[@eaglewolffox6275]

Little fact: he has a descendant who is a member of a music group called Yellow Magic Orchestra.

[@rajathapa87]

My main source of history. Thank all of you guys. You help me so much.

[@nagabackyardkitchen]

How can anyone be called disgraceful for wanting to live ... such a shame

[@brokendrifter4626]

This Japanese guy is not a simp

[@Tfnafplayer2]

Well good he got off

[@yukiyato6676]

I would do the same tbh. Sacrificing yourself is your own choice, not an obligation. Either you die with honor or live with shame, what a strict standard

[@dcmonsterreviews2987]

Extreme honour and respect for this man. This wasn't even his fault he was only a passenger. I respect that he was able to fight off his haters.

[@DeadPixel1105]

I see that media and public opinion was just as brutal, merciless, and harsh as it today.

[@farhani29]

Subscribed because of this! I would love to show your videos to my students some other time.

[@bramijdema759]

He’s pretty much the Japanese Bruce Ismay, a survivor portrayed by the media as a snivelling coward and disgraced by the public.

[@huseyinlili3672]

I think this channel must make a video about the importance of Baku in WW2.Because the fate of war was dependent on Baku oil.Please make video about it.

[@nedgerblanski2309]

If your gonna blame someone, blame the millionare boat for being selfish and actually being idiots

[@connorwilcox4244]

People in the comments keep saying that others are saying that the passenger was a coward. So far I still have not come across one, instead, I came across comments fighting back.

[@celticjay2306]

Stellar job sir. I salute the time and effort

[@Adam-tj6is]

this is like walking into your house and your parents ground you for no reason and accuse you of stuff

[@justin2308]

Dishonored just because he was one of many who survived the disaster? If you study the Titanic, you'll learn that a lot of the reason many people didn't make it was because of the crew and their policies. For one thing, there was a crewmember who wouldn't allow men into the boats, period, and many lower-class passengers were cordoned off to be kept away from the boats. Another thing is that the boats could hold twice as many people as were actually put in, but the crew only filled them to half-capacity, which meant that many people who could've gotten safely off the ship were left to die- even worse when you realize that the Titanic had more than the usual number of boats! This man should not have been dishonored just because he was one of the lucky few who made it off the ship. The true dishonor in this disaster goes to us as a race, for we are too quick and harsh to judge others based on class, race, and status, as well as for surviving something we bragged about saying it was "unsinkable"

[@starrsmith3810]

Some passengers chose to stay on the ship so it can’t be all put on the crew.

[@kashewz]

They acted like he was the only male who got onto a lifeboat. But yeah lets target him because you know, his skin color's different, so easy target

[@wolfigy]

Thank you for making this video. This guy deserves differend history!
