00:00No, Jack and Rose could not have both survived on that door in Titanic.
00:04Well, at least that's what James Cameron is saying.
00:06The director of the 1997 blockbuster is putting an end to a long-standing debate about whether
00:11Kate Winslet's character could have moved over and made some room for Leonardo DiCaprio's.
00:15Cameron said he commissioned a forensic analysis on the famous door scene to quote, put this
00:20whole thing to rest and drive a stake through its heart once and for all.
00:23The study involved putting sensors on two stunt people who were the same body mass as
00:27Winslet and DiCaprio and submerging them in ice water.
00:30A hypothermia expert concluded that the door could not have supported them both and only
00:34one person could make it out alive.
00:36In 2012, however, the makers of Mythbusters concluded that both Jack and Rose could have
00:40plausibly fit on the door.
00:42But even in that episode, Cameron disagreed and said quote, the script says Jack dies.
00:47He has to die.
