Explanation

The 1906 San Francisco earthquake killed approximately 3,000 people, while the Titanic disaster killed about 1,500. The earthquake death toll was roughly double, not triple, the Titanic's casualties. The Titanic's death toll was actually proportionally much higher relative to passengers and crew, while the earthquake affected a broader urban population.
