A forensic analysis reproducing the final scene

Because titanic does not seem to have convinced all viewers of the fact that Jack couldn’t have survived on this wooden door turned into a makeshift raft, James Cameron decided to address the issue head on. “We wanted to put an end to all this speculation” told the Toronto sun on his film released almost 25 years ago.

The director then decided to order a scientific study to prove that Jack could not, objectively, have survived. “We did a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert who reproduced the raft from the film”, explained in the columns of Toronto sun.

Only one could survive

The most skeptical will run out of arguments. After being covered in sensorstwo stuntmen with the same body mass as Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio were submerged frozen water. The conclusion is clear: the tragic outcome was inevitableas James Cameron explained:
