[@cdagyekybcrpaa]

While I don't dispute the idea that both Jack & Rose would have been able to share the space on the DoorFrame, I still would argue that if they did so, as the MythBusters demonstrate in this video, they would have both been partially submerged with 20% of their bodies exposed to the water and would face severe hypothermia, or at the very least major frostbite. Keep in Mind: during the actual sinking of the Titanic, the water was −2 °C, which is lethally cold and would kill most people in 15 minutes of exposure, and that's if your body didn't go into immediate shock. And even then, several of the people pulled out of the water would still succumb to hypothermia (only 6 people pulled out of the water survived). Hell, one of the collapsible boats during the event was partially submerged with a foot of water, and several of its occcupants died of hypothermia in the night. So personally, I doubt that, realistically, Jack & Rose would have both survived on that frame had they shared it.

Those two scenes broke my heart. They knew they were going to die anyways. Wow

[@zyloproductions4870]

My theory is that Jack didn't get on the door, even though he could fit, because his strength was failing. Icy water literally shuts down your body bit by bit within a minute. He didn't have the strength to balance it out, and he couldn't pull himself aboard, because his muscles were too cold. Rose's body was also shutting down too, leaving her with no strength to pull him up. I made this theory because a real life couple in Collapsible Lifeboat A actually died exactly like this, one dangling in the water, while one held on for as long as he could while he succumbed to the icy water that had flooded the lifeboat.

She also was wearing a life jacket and he wasn't so she could still float without expending energy

@Rocky Road The less amount of time you spent in the freezing water, the greater the survival rate. I assume that man that was found floating on a table or door had only spent no more than a minute in the freezing water before climbing on top of it. Unlike Rose who altogether spent ages in freezing water. I don't think alcohol per se would help keeping you alive in the water a bit longer, rather ANY large amount of calories consumed would, because calories equates to energy which also equates to heat.

I couldn't help but notice that they did this experiment in a calm lake when the current in the scene was the opposite. I think what people are forgetting is that it wasn't just the size of the door but how heavy the currents were. Rose could barely get on it by herself and she had Jack help her up because the current wasn't still.

[@SmokingLaddy]

This was filmed in San Francisco Bay by Treasure Island, San Francisco bay is a mix of salt water and fresh water at a salinity of 0-25 ppt with Treasure Island being somewhere in the middle of these two figures, the North Atlantic has a salinity level of 37. Because saltwater is denser (1025 kg/m3) than fresh (1000 kg/m3), objects, including humans, are better able to float in saltwater. If anything it would have been easier to float in the N. Atlantic in calm conditions rather than San Franciso Bay in similarly calm conditions due to the above reasoning.

But you're forgetting the others in the water as well. Splashing and flailing about trying to find something to climb onto. That doesn't make the water very calm. Even in the movie someone was trying to drag her down into the water because it was something or someone to hold onto to possibly get some stability. Not an expert in the least bit but if you've actually paid attention in the movie you would have seen that no matter what was attempted either Jack or Rose would have died.

Everyone talked about Jack, Rosie, etc, but did you guys know the Violinist scene from the movie, where the musicians kept playing, WAS REAL? The short version of the story: when the musicians of the ship noticed they were doomed, they talked and noticed their role as humans - and musicians - was to soothe people's souls. So, they decided to play until the end, trying to bring comfort to the others. Well, all of them died and, later, the violin of the violinist, who was the leader of the band, was retrieved from the Titanic remains. It was all greyed by the years below water. It had one (or two?) strings left. I saw an article and a picture of it sometime around 5 years ago. The violin went to an auction and was sold for a small fortune (I can't remember how much, but if I'm not mistaken it was around 2 million dollars). The violin was regarded until today as a token of true altruism, love for Humanity and selflessness.

How did they know that if Jack upset the door and Rose fell off, she would have the strength to try and get back on a third time? How did they know that if Rose started to die without her lifebelt, they would have been able to get it off the door and back onto her? And if they'd had to do that, how would they both have survived anyway? It's just impossible.

This operates under the idea that, after everything that preceded it, Jack would've still had both his wits about him and the energy to make this idea work. Which is a dangerous assumption to make. In this little experiment, you can try multiple different approaches until you land on the right one. Jack didn't have that luxury. He didn't have time to experiment with one idea, after another, after another. Rose didn't have that benefit either. Maybe it all seems clear afterwards. It was anything but at that moment in time. And it wouldn't be clear to anyone else in that situation IRL either.

If anything, being an athlete who is trained to think quickly at a given situation with reflexes and such would have a better chance. And that's not even touching on how 90% of people panic and behave like sheep during a time of crisis. Which Jack really wasn't doing, he _did_ understand his surroundings and decided it was best if they kept the door stable so Rose would survive at least.

OK. I admit it, I guess with the life jacket under the wood, both Jack and Rose probably would've survived. But then again, the North Atlantic ocean was below freezing. So even if they thought of that, they wouldn't be able to move due to the low temperature, even out of the water.

[@jarvisb.6013]

Why has nobody mentioned this in the comments!? The water was ice-cold. That just means that the water was more denser hence easier to float on.

Actually, as water gets colder it expands. The molecules form a lattice-like structure because water is capable of hydrogen bonding with itself. Ice floats because it’s less dense than water.

Since the water was freezing it would be far more difficult to think clearly and to control your limbs. In freezing water there's no way they could have had the dexterity to tie a life jacket around the door and then get on.

I have been studying the Titanic sinking for about 19 years, have listened to survivor interviews, been to Belfast, Halifax and a ton of other things. First of all i got to see one of the cork vests up close and personal touched it and held it carefully with a curator and that thing is a death trap. The panel, not door could barely fit me and im only 5'5 120 lbs (they had one in Halifax back in 2001- that you could try yourself and no matter how i couldn't). As for the whole Jack sacrifice thing, the water that night was freezing. If your clothes are wet, and your outside in the cold do they dry? No they retain that cold thus causing hypothermia and if not taken care of worse. Your fingers and toes go numb, your motor skills and brain functions are impaired etc. That's what Rose was exhibiting on that panel. There is an interview i watched on youtube explaining all the characters and the people who they were in the real tragedy. Adam and Jamie could have been a little more accurate but that is why Mythbusters was such a successful show because it opened up people to thinking about things and thats what we are doing right. Only the real Titanic tragedy is the one we should focus on and remember that people died that night because of a ship that was built too soon and died too soon. Like the one surviving woman said " Just because it can be built, should we build it?"

Panic and fear is one of the things that saves a person in peril. Humans are desperate creatures, and find really unique ways to fight back and/or escape. I feel like the initial shock would pass, and the fact that it's cold would force people to revert back to the primal instinct of "keep moving, be safe, keep warm, survive" and they'd get creative. Everyone makes it sound like everybody fell in the water and were like "ah well shit, we're not Myth Busters, and it's cold here, so I guess it's time to die.". the fact that atleast 80% of their bodies were not submerged would help them survive provided that they care for eachother and probably don't won't to die, and use a little bit of brain power to find some more rubbish to help them out.

I was standing on the edge of the boat, contemplating what to do when my sister yelled THIS IS SPARTA and shoved me in. I learned my lesson to never stand near an edge with a sibling.

[@joshuawells835]

Came here after watching a video by Jill Vill, who debunks the Mythbusters' test with the following points: 1. Their test failed to consider the effects -2˚C salt water has on the body and the effects of hyperthermia. The body stiffens up, making it hard to move, much less swim. Uncontrollable swimming exhausts the body as the organs shut down. 2. The drift wood isn't a door, but a 50Ib door frame. Add the separate weights of Jack and Rose, they couldn't stay on together. The difference in weight mattered and the Mythbusters didn't consider that. The space was there for both of them, but the weight was the troublesome part. 3. Rose was an upper-class lady with her life made for her (thus no reason for her to know survival skills) and Jack was a third-class uneducated amateur artist; they didn't have the luxury of the internet or advanced degrees in science to construct the buoyancy device the Mythbusters used to increase their own buoyancy. We're taking about people from 1912 vs. scientists in the 21st Century. 4. If they did try to alternate who was on the driftwood, their bodies still couldn't accommodate fast enough for them both to survive. You can't just keep hopping from freezing cold to less cold. Their body temperatures would have spiked. The only chance for survival was either Rose got on the boat when she had the chance or they could have found another piece of drift wood. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3S3dX6Yd7x7fac

I rewatched the clip and Adam even said that it would be a lot harder in freezing water. But nevertheless I agree that there were certain variables that they should have taken into account maybe fill up a large canvas swim pool with accurate water temps, or have them wear only their james bond tuxedos, I seriously doubt that they didn't have medical personnel on standby.

[@helix99999]

adam and jamie are using water-resistant clothing while in the movie their clothes soak water and increased their weight which would cause the door to sink.

[@maddierchd1]

Now let’s do this in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, in the dark, in a freezing water, with thin clothes and with 1500 people dying around you

[@leonamay8776]

Yep. Trying this in broad daylight on a warm lake and calm water? No way, this is bullshit. Try that on the high sea, with freezing water and when you're completely panicked!

[@Splexsychiick]

Those two look dingbats look about the same weight. The wood of the board would have been different. Probably slippery from ice. Rose was a small slip of a woman. Maybe jack and Rose couldn't distribute their weight evenly and when Jack tried to climb on he would cause it to tip/flip. As yall said the water wasn't calm like this lake. With freezing limbs they definitely would be graceful with their movements.

Cold water is the reason why "having another WARM BODY on the plank" might help you survive ...

[@marcuscarana9240]

Okay that worked. Now do that on a freezing cold, pitch black night, with thousands of people screaming and all around you fighting for any floatation device. You haven't had any rest or sleep and it's 3 am in the middle of the Atlantic so you're critical thinking and planning skills are at level 0 and your emotional level are at maximum panic "I think I'm gonna die" mode.

[@Amaruuno]

Several key variables missing. 1.) Salt water vs fresh. 2.) Water temperature and muscle mobility. 3.) Did these two run around for at least 20 minutes prior to tire themselves out like that of someone fleeing a sinking ship? 4.) Relatively calm lake water vs deep sea ocean 5.) Night vs day (another temperature variable and vision) 6.) Genders 7.) Clothing weight (clothing of the time) 8.) State of mind. Did you just see a bunch of women, children, men drown? Did you outswim a sinking ship that could f dragged you down?

[@will1291]

1) Isn't this freshwater? The Titanic sunk in saltwater, and as such the 'actual' board would be more buoyant than this recreation? 2) Fair, but you could argue that this test is based not on the logistics of getting ON the board, but staying on it? The former is a different test in itself. 3) I mean, Jamie is around 60 and Adam around 50... 4) Fair, but if Rose alone managed to stay on the board, two people probably could also (better able to resist a capsize). 5) See 2 6) I'm not sure what you mean by this. Kate Winslet is a lot smaller than Jamie. 7) Well, Jamie and Adam have some pretty heavy clothing on... in the scene referred to Jack's outfit was pretty lightweight, Rose's not so much so but I guess it balances out? 8) Maybe a slight impact. All things considered I feel that the results from the video were conclusive enough to not be swayed by these variables.

[@Amaruuno]

You're wrong. Why? Because when you change that many variables it isn't sufficient enough to just say well they could both get on with all of those facts I supplied, while your counters supplied none except for number 1 which isn't saying much. No offense. This is about could they have both lived and given all the facts I presented no, this test does not tell us that. Nor does it tell us could they have both gotten on the board? We also don't know how long it took these two to get on in which case by that time they still might of died struggling. These two also had to struggle to figure it out and time is a factor. This test is inconclusive. You lose.

[@will1291]

1. The temperature here is much higher than the freezing water in the Atlantic at night....you would die of shock, hypothermia or exhaustion ...max 45 min is what you can survive in that température...most people died in 15 2. Adding the life jacket underneath is risky as anything could happen and if the door gets away from you, you've lost the life jacket too and will drown. 3. Jack and Rose wouldn't be the same weight...so the door would tilt over

[@moonknight648]

MythBusters : Let's introduce James Cameron as a janitor in the intro. Pretty sure the comment section would explode Everyone else : meh. Rose should've stayed on the fu*king boat

[@wolfmaxvampton4123]

I think the dropping temperature made it difficult for Jack and Rose to cope up

[@Capt-Intrepid]

Possibly - but they were both suffering from hypothermia and this solution was likely impossible for them to accomplish.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

Yeah, it only takes a few minutes of bitter cold to start losing control of fine motor skills like the ability to hold on to a door. Plus Jack likely has less body fat than Rose, so he won't be able to survive frigid submersion as long.

[@Piterixos]

How does this prove there was room for two? The lifebelt trick is not realistic in the slightest given the circumstances and even after that being partially submerged was likely a death sentence anyway. Can you imagine Jack being like "Yeah, maybe we'll both die but it's worth a shot?" Like no, it would be completely out of character. The only flaw was that Jack only tried to get on that piece of wood once and did so from the same side as Rose did causing an imbalance. He should have tried at least once more from the other side.

[@Violet-qi4yb]

Agree with you completely! His one attempt can be justified and understood through his love for Rose. He definitely couldn’t think straight because of the cold temperatures so his thought process was just “damn I can’t get on”. He was too busy prioritising Rose

[@Noryle]

Granted I doubt Jack even had the basic knowledge of physics so...

[@lil4h]

Noyle you dont need knowledge of physics to fucking lay down

[@noah_lot2842]

And the actual Titanic sunk in the saltwater ocean, which makes things float even more easily; the life-jacket below the door probably wouldn't even be needed.

Well, next time you physics experts are floating around a ship debris field in freezing ocean water and in between not passing out from extreme cold and fighting off other passengers trying to grab at you, you can McGyver yoru life jacket onto a large piece of furniture and test that theory all rational and calm.

Okay I feel like by the time they made it to the door, with all of the chaos from rescuing Jack from the Master at Arms' room, escaping the rapidly rising water, trying to save that child and ultimately nearly drowning after that guy dropped the keys to open the locked gate, making it up to the deck, getting Rose to a lifeboat, reuniting after she jumps back onto the ship, being shot at by Cal, going back up on deck, racing to the stern of the ship as it begins tilting, holding on for dear life as the boat tips up and then as it plummets back down after cracking in half, holding on AGAIN as the ship goes vertical once more, swimming up to the surface against the powerful current of a several-ton ship as it's sucking freezing, ice-cold water downwards, nearly being swarmed by other drowning patrons, and then FINALLY finding the fucking door, Jack and Rose are probably dead-exhausted and burnt out from adrenaline and shock. Also willing to bet their clothes, since they were winter clothes and made from heavier material than we might wear today, weighed them and the door down some, and I doubt they would've taken the chance of removing Rose's life vest and tying it under the wood to give it more buoyancy and then try to stabilize themselves while in a near-death state. The human capability to survive is incredible, but it has its limits. If they had been in warmer water or even just hadn't been through all that insane, trauma-inducing panic, I think they could've made a more logical decision and both survived.
