Twenty-five years after the release of Titanic, the film’s director, James Cameron, is preparing a documentary in which he explains scientifically that it would have been impossible for Jack to have survived.

In the famous scene, Rose and Jack let go of each other’s hands, with Jack eventually drowning in the depths of the sea.
Although Cameron has made it clear on numerous occasions that Jack’s death was necessary for narrative reasons, the director confirmed in the interview that he would now establish why Jack could not get out of this situation alive.
