Mythbusters · Season 1 · Episode 11 · Originally Aired January 25, 2004
Down with the Titanic. In that scene in Titanic where Jack and Rose jump from the back so that they don't get sucked down, is it really necessary? I mean will they get sucked down to the watery depths if they don't jump? That's what thish myth aims to find out - if a sinking ship will drag you down with it.
Adam thinks that it can be tested in the shop, but Jamie thinks they ought to test in a pool. Both actually win out, and the first test is something of a scaled-down version that takes place in the pool of Encino High School - which is incidentally the pool you see in the beginning of many episodes.
