Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

According to my research, there is a 100% accuracy rate when making a wish a few hours after seeing a robin at the end of winter. You can't deny the data.
That's not very good scientific process, though. An experiement must be repeated hundreds of time and achieved the same results to draw a conclusion. Only once could be an outlier. Or the experiment could have been contaminated.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
Because she pushed him off the damn door. He was willing to die for her but she was not willing to take the chance for him. Seems like one sided love to me. At that moment love stopped if it ever existed at all. But, what do I know, I'm old and dead on the inside. 😬
Only if had wanted them both to die .

Really? A part of the Titanic story that was pure fiction, made up by Mr. Cameron for the movie. A study done saying that Jack and Rose couldn't have shared the door? A study of what, the script perhaps? Hell, he could have written the door bigger.

I know that many people love that movie and I even, to a small degree understand why, however, it is just a story about a massively tragic accident at sea that took over a 1000 lives. The story of the Titanic is not a love story, it is a tragedy of epic proportions. The story of the Titanic is shown in the movie titled "A Night to Remember". A 1942 movie that captured the real events in a way that was a lot less fiction and much more of a representation of that tragic night. It was the largest accidental, at sea, loss of life in history.

Still doesn't make the facts in the article wrong.

My point was it was a fictional door created by James Cameron. It was whatever size he decided he wanted it to be. He surely wouldn't have commissioned a study to be done about something that he created and decided that it wasn't of insufficient size to hold both of them. I also have to assume that Leonardo, AKA Jack, didn't really die because I've seen him in other movies since then.

Ah, but the titanic was a real ship with real doors. The door could only be as big as the actual doors on the actual ship. So without knowing how large the largest door on the ship was, how do we know if they could have both fit on any one of the doors that might have broken off during the sinking of said ship?

Exactly.it was as historically accurate as possible.

Okay guys … simmer down. Change of topic.

I went to the movies last night and DIDN’T see Titanic. Saw Quantumania. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t based on a real event. I’m also pretty sure it won’t require repeat viewings.

I would assume the blueprints for the entire ship still exist, given that the grand staircase recreation in the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge was constructed from actual blueprints … right down to the use of linoleum on the floor.

(Betcha you assumed it was marble. I know I always did. Nope, linoleum was the newest, “grandest”, most expensive material available in 1911-1912, so that’s what they used!)

I didn't. All I knew was it was a ship and it sunk. All of it sunk no matter the material.

But apparently, not the door.

:p
Which brings up the question of how did the door get there? Who or possibly whom took the door off the hinges. The ship hit an iceberg on the side where there were no doors. Was that scene before or after the boat split apart?

The correct answer was that although the Titanic was real, the disaster was real and the history was real, the love story was not. It was fabricated by some rich guy that got fabulously wealthy by exploiting a real disaster. Good movie, yes, but still a movie.

Well, you know, you just can't get good help, (either back then or now). ;) My guess is the hinges on the door were not fastened correctly, and the impact of the ship hitting the iceberg was enough to dislodge the door, and send it flying overboard!
