James Cameron Explains Titanic Raft Survival Debate with Scientific Insights

Director James Cameron addressed the long-standing debate about whether Jack Dawson could have survived on the raft with Rose in Titanic's final scene. Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter's podcast, Cameron said scientific experiments were conducted to test survival possibilities. He explained that while survival might be theoretically possible with modern hypothermia knowledge and luck, such knowledge was unavailable in 1912, making Jack's survival in the film's context impossible.
