George Thomas' A Question of Murder Interview

Me and my sister used to play every day. We would play, go up stairways and then come back down. And there was a cabin next door to us, a vacant cabin. We would play there most of the time.

The officers didn't know if it would sink or not, whether it could still float, so they said all we could do is go in the cabin and pray.

And then we looked back and the lights were gone and the song was over with. Just like that, you know. And it was just a few minutes and there was nobody there anymore.

Curator's note: This interview was recorded during the Titanic Historical Society convention that took place April 16-18, 1982 in Philadelphia, PA at the Holiday Inn-Center City and was first broadcast as part of the documentary, "Titanic: A Question of Murder" in 1983.
