Kon Jack Dawson de Ramp in Titanic survive if he climbed the wooden door with Rose DeWitt Bukater? It’s a question that has worried Hollywood, and by extension the rest of the world, for 25 years. Director James Cameron recently commissioned scientific research to finally clarify the whole debate.
From TitanicThe film is lauded around the world, yet there is one scene that has been the subject of discussion for some 25 years. After the boat sinks, Rose, played by Kate Winslet, manages to survive it all because she floats on a wooden door. Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, keeps talking to her in the ice cold water, but gets stuck and eventually drowns. The question that has haunted viewers for more than two decades: Couldn’t Rose go up a bit so that Jack can walk through that door?
Titanicdirector James Cameron previously responded to the discussion by saying it was an “artistic choice”. But he now he’s had enough. He therefore decided to have a “forensic” investigation carried out. “We’ve conducted a scientific investigation to put this whole thing to rest and clear it up once and for all,” Cameron said on Friday.

Hypothermia expert
“We did a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert whohard, red.) of the film,” he continued, adding that “they used two stuntmen who had the same physique as Kate and Leo.” Those stuntmen had sensors placed all over their bodies and “we put them in ice cold water and tested if they could survive with different methods”.
“The answer: There was no way either of them could have survived,” Cameron said. “Only one could survive.” The door couldn’t have kept them both out of the water.
The study will be part of a special broadcast on National Geographic, celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary. It’s not yet clear when that episode will air.
