    One thought about hypothermia: If both of them would have been on the improvised raft and cuddled together, their temperature even should have dropped a little slower, because they would warm each other (at least a little bit) - that might add some more minutes for the rescue. Or am I wrong here?

    I see a couple of flaws.
    1st.. Jamie's oak planks are of 'Green' oak. The ship used dry oak.. more buoyant.
    2nd.. clothes worn by both were of silk, cotton, and wool. none of which are represented in the 1/4 scale.
    3rd.. Though the salt mixture may have been a standard ratio.. the north Atlantic salt ratio is less because of the melting icebergs.

    Just because they could theoretically tie a float under it doesn't mean that two people freezing to death in dire straits could think of that in time and have the physical mobility and strenght to do it. That is why they died.

    • @l.riggins1857
      @l.riggins1857 Před 2 měsíci +1

      True. Even if Jack and Rose still had the energy, presence of mind, and smarts to try the life vest under the plank trick, just taking the vest off Rose would put Rose at risk (not what Jack would want). Additionally, if they tried and iit didn't work, they'd likely both die. They had also been through a lot already that night and had been in cold water and cold air, even while on the ship. Being able to MacGyver the situation largely in the dark, in frigid waters, and not knowing if it would help or hurt, even if successful, would not be a likely choice. It would all need to be well secured, and fingers and hands especially don't work well in the cold. Lastly, it is Cameron's story, we're never able to change a character's behavior based on what we would do.

    Sometimes the narration on CZcams versions of the show is too quiet or only on the left.

  • @kamalalsb7292
    @kamalalsb7292 Před 28 dny

    Now - the one thing I dispute here is they had the benefit of essentially - prep time. And when they got into the water they weren't dealing with the negative effects of hypothermia. Meaning - they had time to come up with a solution that Rose and Jack wouldn't have, and may not have been able to execute. I don't think two people suffering (at that point) mild Hypothermia would have been able to get into the water, tie the life preserver under it, then get back up onto the board.

    • @DanteKenchi
      @DanteKenchi Před 27 dny

      the problem i have is that Jamie and Adam are big and healthy men with a combined weight of 170/180kg while Rose and Jack where small and skinny who probly had a combined 110kg, So they probly didn't need the life jacket underneath the board.

    • @kamalalsb7292
      @kamalalsb7292 Před 27 dny

      @@DanteKenchi Ah but I would argue - them being so small and skinny means they would be affected by the cold temperatures WAY faster. Meaning an argument could be made that even both of them getting onto the board and moving enough to distribute their weight so it doesn't sink (cuz remember, Balance is ALSO a really big factor that gets fixed by the life jacket) would have been too difficult for them to both do under those conditions.

  • @riversarcadereview385

  • @michaelkukula5926
    @michaelkukula5926 Před 3 měsíci

    I think having the strength to pull yourself up out of the freezing water onto that board without it tipping over would have been very difficult if not impossible. Also they didn’t factor in the fact that they were both in the water for some minutes and out in the cold for at least an hour prior to reaching the door.
