After the Titanic sank, did the passengers who survived and the heirs of those who didn’t recieve a refund on the fares.

What about other disasters. Do airlines refund ticket prices?

I don’t know about a refund-but there was a HUGE lawsuit.  
There were two hearings-the ones in America, and ones in Britain.
