Overview
- Asked to imagine himself alone as a second-class passenger, Cameron outlined how he would try to survive the 1912 sinking.
- He said the best chance would be to wait for an early lifeboat to launch, jump into the water beside it, and rely on passengers to pull him aboard.
- Cameron cited human behavior as the key factor, arguing most people hesitated to act and that rescuers under public gaze would not let a nearby swimmer drown.
- He pointed to Boat Four as a viable target and emphasized acting before the boats rowed away from the ship.
- The remarks reflect his ongoing 'what-if' exercises with Titanic experts and have been widely republished since the Hollywood Reporter piece.
