Jack could have fit on the door in Titanic.

> Sure he could have fit on the door, but he would have killed Rose doing it because they both would have been in the freezing water because the door wouldn't float under the weight of two people.

Mythbusters disagrees with you. This isn't just people saying shit for the sake of saying it. Science has actually proven Jack and Rose would have both been just fine on the door.

I might make one just to test this out, I'll bring the fucking set piece to the exact location of the Titanic sinking and lay on it myself

If Jack don't fit, you must acquit.

You should rewatch that episode. It only works with the life vest attached to the bottom of the door. There is no way they could have figured that out while freezing to death.

You're an idiot

Ffs, Jim Cameron even went on Mythbusters about this. It’s not an issue of size, it’s an issue of buoyancy. Yes they could both fit, but it wouldn’t have floated with both on it

The issue wasn’t them fitting on it. It was the weight. It wouldn’t have floated with both of them on it.

This stupid debate is why they should’ve went with the alternate ending James Cameron originally shot where Jack and Rose speed off on jet skis just as the Titanic explodes with Billy Zane on board. Fade out as Jack and Rose take off into the night. Post credit shot of Billy Zane’s charred face rising out of the water among the flaming wreckage. Suddenly his eyes pop open. TO BE CONTINUED.

Maybe the door would have been more buoyant because of how doors are made?

Heard yall talking 👏🏾🤣🤔

A might is slight but it would have been worth the chance!

Jack saved her life. He got her on a lifeboat. She jumped from the lifeboat and insisted he find another way to save her “You’re so stupid Rose”. He could have used the door if she was on the lifeboat. Rose killed Jack, there’s no way around that. Edit: fixed your to you’re

And as he said during taping, it really doesn’t matter if he could fit in the door, in the story Jack had to die

Nah, Jack just found out that Rose was older than 25 and peaced out.

Not just that. They can fit of the door together but in stead of Rose being mostly dry BOTH their lower bodies are now in the water - which might they eventually both die.

They also did it on sunny day in calm waters. The point of the door was to keep Rose out of the freezing water. If the door sinks a few inches with both of them on it then they likely both die.

If everyone watched the episode they would know he wrote for jack to die but not everyone can accept it. unless there a press event where Leonardo DiCaprio says he was supposed to die at the end of the movie then maybe it be settle till then this is whole two people could fit on a door vs only one person could fit conversation that never dies

And I really hated it. They did not take into account that it was nighttime, pretty much pitch dark, and panic from having the "indestructible ship" sink

Actually, most average viewers who don’t have more than a passing interest in Titanic that is totally rooted in the film, think it’s a door.

If you watch the whole thing on the 25th anniversary special on Nat Geo that this was made for, basically the TLDR version is that just Rose alone on the piece of wood was the best case scenario for her body temperature because she was basically fully above the water and exposed to air temp not water temp. Any scenario involving two bodies on the wood in different ways caused both bodies to be below the water line in some way, which essentially kept them too cold. 

Jack also likely gives up on the first try because he believes he can hold out long enough for the lifeboats. He only realizes he's done for a few minutes later, when it's obvious none of them are heading back

Completely aside from the fact that it’s a plot device so it’s completely irrelevant, it was never about if they could fit. It’s about LIMITED BUOYANCY. You can fit a small car on a piece of plywood but that doesn’t mean it will float.

Way too many of your brains run on Minecraft physics. Let this whole stupid magically limitless ability floating “door” thing go.

Yes, I'm impressed he took the time to do this. But then, we do know he is obsessed with the Titanic, so it tracks. 

You can clearly see in the movie that Jack tried to get on the wood panel with Rose and it started to sink. People just don't pay attention.

It's not a frame around a door. It's a wall panel from the First Class Lounge. And it's incredibly important that it was outside the ship because the only way it would have been outside of the ship is if the ship broke in half like some witnesses claimed.

That’s fair, but there was enough room on the door for both of them to sit comfortably

This.

This is the part that all the online smart-alecs refuse to acknowledge.

The water is freezing, you need to keep your body out of the water as much as possible in order to not die from hypothermia.

Even if they had both managed to find a comfortable position on the raft, it would sink below the water’s surface under their combined weight and they’d both stay in the water, bobbing just a few inches under the surface on top of the bobbing raft.

So they wouldn’t drown, but they’d both die of hypothermia very quickly.

Also, it was not a door

but like that's just physics, why didn't she then get on the other side of it while jack climbed on and then both stayed in the middle or opposite sides of the "door"

There was definitely room for Jack on the door but if Jack would have gotten up on that door it would have flopped have you ever tried to get on a raft in the middle of a pool imagine trying to use a door

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to send a strongly worded letter to White Star Lines about all this.

Cute, but hey - we have this rug!

that’s so funny i had a foam sleeping mat just like that and my cat was obsessed with it. she also liked to claw/chew it though unfortunately

Didn’t anybody actually watch the damn movie? Rose gets on the door and Jack starts to climb on after her. The door tips over and he stops and stays in the water. There was room for both of them, but it wasn’t balanced for both of them. He couldn’t get on without Rose sliding off first. It’s been 25 years, folks, let’s move on.

Oh my god, not this again. Jack had to die no matter what, that’s the whole point of the story. Jack and Rose represent all the real couples who were separated that night— considering the survival rate for third class men was low. It’s a waste of time to obsess over what did or didn’t happen to these 2 fictional characters. I swear, it seems like most people who watch this movie lack media comprehension or they know nothing about the real tragedy.

Anyone could have survived it but in the end some actually did others didn’t

The Sam brain dead BS again, the script for the MOVIE had jack dying,

Yeah. If Rose stayed in the boat Jack would have fit on the door.

James Cameron himself has commented on them laying on the door;

“The answer is very simple,” Cameron told Vanity Fair. “Because on page 147 (of the script) that Jack dies. Very simple.”

On a serious note, I love how in-depth your question is and how you’ve backed it up. Well done

I love all the work you're putting in but the Mythbusters proved they both could have lived.

They probably still could’ve both survived though, they could’ve just taken turns or found a bigger thing floating around.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who was going to say this but I'm also pretty sure that it should be obvious that they both could have survived at the end of the movie. Lots of people have done series and just straight-up math to prove how they both could have easily fit and the door sing would have been more than enough to hold both of them if it was enough to hold her. Not saying this is a bad idea but honestly probably not worth a full Theory if he hasn't already done one on this...
