The Titanic redux in Antartica!

By now I think that most of us must have seen that movie 'Titanic' and today a replay of that happened in the seas off Antarctica. A Canadian cruise ship struck submerged ice and immediately a hole the size of one's fist appeared on the hull and the ship began taking water. Since the ship was listing dangerously the call to 'abandon ship' was given and all the passengers and the crew managed to get safely into the lifeboats and were later rescued.
On inquiry, the passengers said that the only hassle they had was the freezing temperatures and that the whole incident caused them no bodily harm whatsoever. This has certainly been like the case of the Titanic and I am sure that the same thought must have run into the crew's head as they heard that the ship was sinking.
