25 years since its release, Titanic remains unstoppable. In 1997, James Cameron directed the hugely popular film Titanic. Two decades after its release, the discussion surrounding the film has not stopped. However, the most important question that the director of Titanic had to read is, could Jack not have survived after the shipwreck? 25 years later, James Cameron has answered this with a real-world experiment in collaboration with National Geographic. News of The Week.

Jack's death scene is the most questionable of all the famous Titanic scenes. The question of the fans, after the sinking of the ship, Jack could not have survived in any way? If not in the broken part of the same bed, at least in some other way? And this question has been surrounding this popular film for two decades. Many claim that James Cameron has unnecessarily cruelled the character of Jack. Jack was not even allowed to try to survive. Finally, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Titanic, the director has come to find the answer to this question.

Together with National Geography, the old debate has been revisited in a scientific way. In a project called 'Titanic: 25 Years Later with James Cameron', two stand-persons were tested in a swimming pool. There, the male and female stand-persons had the same physique as Jack and Rose. Several scientists and doctors were also present there. Artificially created cold weather in the swimming pool. Also, every moment and every incident that happened after the sinking of the ship is repeated.

James Cameron announced the results at the end of the test. According to him, if Rose and Jack had both leaned on the piece of wood to keep their upper bodies afloat, and if Rose had helped keep Jack warm with her life jacket, Jack would have had a chance of survival.

However, Cameron claims that it was difficult to keep Jack alive. Because Jack can't do anything that would get Rose in the slightest bit of trouble. Death was more comforting to him than that. And that's how Jack was destined to die on the Titanic.
