So, by my maths (dodgy at best), more people died on the titanic, but crew weren't counted because they didn't buy a ticket?

No, 844 passengers and 4 crew members died, compared to 1,490-1,635 (including crew) on the titanic The reason why the numbers on the titanic range so much is because of various record keeping errors and people traveling under aliases being counted twice

My numbers say 817 passengers, and 679 crew died, for a total of 1496 people on the Titanic. This counts the Guarantee group (people like Thomas Andrews) and the musicians as passengers.

Titanic was a far larger passenger ship, so course there were more losses on the Titanic.

If a buss crashes there are often way more casualties, than if a single car crashes.

These statistical facts are muy mysterioso to many.
