At the US Olympic Trials in 1972, both Hart and Reynaud Robinson repeated the world record in 100 m of 9.9, and became as a main favourites at the Olympic Games. But at München, they both were eliminated in 100 m because their coach had not announced the correct starting time of the quarterfinal. Hart also ran the anchoring leg in the American 4x100 m relay team, which won a gold medal and equalled the United States' own world record of 38.19.
In many respects HartÂs testimony is in accord with that of several other stewards who appeared before the Parliamentary Inquiry.[2] Each testified, at least in some part, that they received instructions to see that all passengers were out of their cabins with their lifebelts on and to direct passengers to the upper decks.
Much of HartÂs testimony is very detailed, and therefore superficially persuasive, particularly when it comes to the routes he claimed to have taken in both his putative trips to the Boat Deck, the number and composition of the passengers he took, and the lifeboats to which he brought them.
Hart testified the passengers were being directing down from E deck to the third class dining saloon on F deck.
