Ever since the Titanic sank (spoiler – again) in the award-winning, 1997 blockbuster film ‘Titanic’, people have debated whether or not Rose could’ve made room for Jack on the door that was keeping her afloat… and ALIVE!
Now, none other than ‘Titanic’ director, James Cameron, weighs in on the topic but in a very specific/scientific way.
Cameron tests the theory in a water tank complete with ‘Jack’ and Rose’ trying to balance on a (film-accurate) reproduction of the door in ocean-accurate temperatures for the time.
And the final conclusion…?
See below for the answer.
