Titanic Deleted Scene: Jack Phillips Says:'Im Not Going'

[JamesDaffyBenderDonald]

Phillips did his job unconditionally to the end, the passengers loaded him with silly messages, made him ignore ice warnings and he called for help until the power gave out. What a legend.

I just cannot fathom the courage and sacrifice of Jack Phillips. 25 years old, knowing he was probably going to die that night. Even though it was not his fault for ignoring the Californian's message (it wasn't properly addressed to the bridge by Californian's operator, and in any event the bridge officers already knew about ice and continued going full speed ahead anyways, the Californian message wouldn't have changed anything), he still felt tremendous guilt forr it and tried to save as many lives as possible.

man these left out snippets of the real characters make me tear up

[bigtommy]

Jack turned 25 just a few days earlier on the 11th

Wow

[Tatokun]

Despite his error for ignoring the californian's Warning, he decide to take resposibility for his actions, he may even knew he would die trying.

[TechnologicallyTechnical]

Apparently Phillips was in even worse shape than he appears in this scene. He was in this sort of dazed state of mind. The captain had ordered him and Bride to abandon their station and the ship could barely transmit, but Philips was in such a daze that he kept tapping out calls for help. Bride (his assistant) was literally screaming at him to leave the wireless room, and he didn't seem to either notice or care. Eventually he left the room and made it onto one of the collapsible boats, but died later that morning. Apparently his last words were "There she is (referring to Carpathia), right on time..."

It’s so unfortunate. Phillips did everything he could for the good of EVERYONE on the ship until the power gave out. He even had enough time to get out and on a life boat. It’s a shame that hypothermia had to get him.

[HBoyle]

And that poor guy was running on 36 hours with no sleep. Because the radio signal had broken and was really weak, so instead of following the Marconi manual and waiting for a repair man, he stayed all night to fix it. It's believed if he hadn't have done that, the signal would have been too weak to reach the Carpathia.

[DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY]

I wish this movie had scenes of the Carpathia’s wireless operator Harold Cottam too. He was the one who picked up the Titanic’s distress call and got the Carpathia into action to save all of those people who survived the sinking. He was also good friends with Jack Phillips and Harold Bride and I can’t imagine how Cottam and Bride must have felt to have been seeing each other again after that tragic sinking. It was also great of Bride to have been working together with Cottam to transmit messages about the Titanic’s sinking during their journey to New York City, even though he had badly injured his feet in the disaster.

Actually, there was more to this scene than this. When the power to the radio had cut out, Captain Smith came in and relieved the radio operators, saying their job was done. Philips refused to leave his post. Bride attempted to persuade Philips to come with him, but Philips fruitlessly tried to keep sending distress signals. Then, a stoker attempted to steal Philips' life-jacket, which outraged Bride, and he knocked the stoker out cold. When the wireless room started to flood in, both the operators closed up and ran out of the wireless room, with Bride going forward, and Philips heading aft. After this, there are conflicting records about the death of Philips:

1. Some say he made it to upturned collapsible lifeboat B, where, exhausted and overcome by cold, Philips succumbed to hypothermia.

2. Others say that Philips couldn't make it to a lifeboat, and either drowned or succumbed to hypothermia.

Philips was a true hero. He stayed on the ship until the very end.

[bricktam]

The man convincing him to go was Harold Bride, who did survive the shipwreck.

They way Call just said 'there there' killed me

[CommodoreJames]

Even if Titanic is going more out of range due to loss of power when Phillips was still getting attention to every ship they were sinking fast he never gave up trying getting assistance immediately. Bride wanted Phillips to get out even if the Captain gave permission to leave their post, but Phillips wasn’t going anywhere until a ship was nearby. Just when every last inch of power was gone with Carpathia and Californian as the last ships to be within range before he still wanted to keep sending messages with an inoperable telegraph.

Translation For Those Who Don’t Understand:

“The Boat Deck Is Awash, Come On Let’s Clear Out We’ve Done Our Duty. Come On We’re Going To Be Eating Sand For Breakfast”

“I’m Not Going”


“Your Mad!”

[landonjarvis]

If you listen closely in the background in the Marconi room, you can hear the ship groaning that's terrifying

[Mr_Maritime]

Even after being released from duty Jack Phillips continued to send distress calls until the end. Bride practically had to drag him away from the wireless set. Phillips would later lose his life that night but he died a hero.

[Thecityguy_original]

This is one of the most important scenes from the Titanic and they just deleted it!😢

[CaptainHamdaanAbid]

Jack Phillips Basically Stayed In The Wireless Room Till 2:17AM And The Time When It Sank He Made It To Collapsible B With Harold Bride But Phillips Then Starts Freezing To Death. Bride Mentioned That There Was A Dead Man In Boat B And When He Boarded The Carpathia He Saw That The Dead Man Was Phillips

[calonlan]

Really great idea they had, to cut out just 18 seconds of a great clip that highlights the strong will of crewmen aboard this ship! Awesome choice! Yeah! (Sarcasm.)
