Well, with vastly improved safety regimes in effect across the board, it's difficult to find comparable situations. But you surely won't find third class passenger locked below deck while the upper crust is sauntering into the lifeboats. The super rich probably doesn't travel on the same vessels as the riff raff at all, but I'm not sure private jets are actually safer than commercial airlines.
