Titanic director James Cameron has spoken out in support of a scientific theory that could have helped save hundreds of lives during the disaster.
James Cameron’s Titanic is famous for being among the most popular and highest-grossing movies ever made, but many audiences might not know that director James Cameron actually has a very personal interest in the historical event. He’s always claimed to find the destruction of the Titanic just as fascinating as it was tragic, which inspired him to make the movie in the first place and explore the logistics of the crash on the big screen.
James Cameron's Theory To Load Passengers Onto The Iceberg Explained The director’s theory might sound bizarre at first, but Cameron believes that if the TItanic’s captain had made the decision to evacuate the travelers onto the iceberg itself, they may have survived long enough for rescue to come and save them. Speaking to a panel of experts for National Geographic , Cameron claimed: “My first favorite idea is to put everybody on the iceberg.
Why Titanic Experts Disagree With James Cameron's Iceberg Theory Although Cameron’s theory seems to make sense on the surface, there are plenty of historians, scientists, and engineers that disagree with the idea. The first obvious criticism is that icebergs aren’t designed to hold 2,000 people at once since their “pretty irregular” form would be difficult to mount.
