- Cameron said passengers and crew would likely haul a swimmer into a just-launched lifeboat rather than let them drown in full view.
- He noted the water was roughly 28 degrees Fahrenheit, so only a brief immersion would be survivable if a boat was within quick reach.
- The comments were published by The Hollywood Reporter and quickly summarized by other outlets, presented as speculative what-if scenarios he explores with Titanic experts.
