    Only if they had the knowledge and abilities (and time to come up with a plan) of two people whose job it is to come up with exactly this kind of thing.

    Sure, it was possible. That doesn’t make it probable.

        I take it you didn’t actually watch the mythbusters episode, then. If they both just climbed on the door they would have both died. They would have had to jury-rig a contraption using the life-preserver Rose was wearing to survive… barely.

              So you’d think she would have tried to get him on the door. What with him being her one true love and all.

                And he probably would have said “no, I want you to live” her being his one true love and all.

                  Okay? She still didn’t try. You don’t seem to be realizing that as an obviously silly flaw in the whole idea that they’re each other’s soulmates.

                    Did she not? Is that an obviously silly flaw, or just some dumb internet argument keyboard warriors throw out to try and prove how obviously intellectually superior they are?

                    It’s a fucking movie, not a scientific study.
