Titanic director James Cameron has forensically examined whether the character Jack - played by Leonardo DiCaprio - could have survived the ship's sinking in a new, scientific re-enactment of the movie's most tragic scene.

The blockbuster movie, which aired 25 years ago, has riled up fans after many believe that Jack could have avoided his icy death if he joined Rose on the floating door.

The fictional characters were on board the Titanic - which set sail from Southampton, England, to New York City in 1912. During its Atlantic voyage, however, the historic ship hit an iceberg and sank, killing 1,500 people.

Cameron's epic movie follows upper-class Rose and poor boy Jack who fall in love during their brief trip, before Jack ultimately sacrifices himself and freezes to death in the ocean so that his lover can live.

The stellar 1997 movie won 11 Academy Awards and was the first film in history to reach the billion-dollar mark.

Now, as part of a National Geographic special, Cameron has scientifically analyzed whether there was room or space for both Jack and Rose to sit on the ship's door and survive.

Although fans have speculated themselves for years, this is the first time the award-winning director has meticulously questioned whether Jack could have had a happy ending too.

Using two stunt people - dressed in the clothing worn by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in the film and submerged in a swimming pool - scientists went through four different scenarios to see if they could both survive.

Here are the four scenarios played out.

GtHawk:
So when Cameron was on Mythbusters in 2012 and they tested out theories of if Jack could survive, it didn't count as the first time because they weren't 'fan theories'?  https://www.discovery.com/shows/mythbusters/episodes/titanic-survival
