Default If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

As to the Titanic operator being a smart ass as someone alluded to in

desperately to get help and felt any other signals were just going to
interfere.


It was before the Titanic hit the iceberg that the Titanic
CW operator told the Californian CW operator to get off the
air. He considered his normal Titanic CW message traffic to
have priority over any CW traffic that the Californian might
need to pass. Turns out the Californian's CW operator was
the only person in the world who could have saved the life
of the Titanic's CW operator.

In that case then - I stand corrected, I was unaware of that.
