The engineers on Titanic were amonst the many heroes that were lost that
night - they stayed at their stations and kept the electricity on almost
until the end, preventing panic and allowing as many to evacuate the ship who
did before it went down.

What I'm wondering is how many gallons of dilithium it took for the
Enterprise to travel a lightyear?
