Two young Marconi operators furiously sent out SOS telegraph messages during the 160 minutes it took for the Titanic to sink, heroically saving 710 lives.

160 minutes. That’s all the time the rescuers had before the largest ship in the world slipped beneath the icy Atlantic. At the heart of the rescue were two young Marconi operators furiously sending out SOS telegraph messages as their ship sank. They then plunged into the water after coordinating the rescue that saved 710 lives.
