When he asked his son: “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death?” Jonathan replied, “No, I’m not afraid of death, but I don’t want to go”. His father also stated: “My lad did not want to go on Titanic, he would rather have stopped on Olympic.” New York Times television critic John Corry called the event "a combination of the sacred and profane and sometimes the downright silly".
