Rehashing is what forums do best.You must be new here, its been discussed ad nauseum.
Remake Titanic and have Jack throw that selfish ##### Rose off the floating door.It sort of behooves you that IF you plan to remake a much beloved movie classic - you should at least TRY to improve on the original.
They did no such thing. Who wants to see a WORSE version of something they've already seen?
I was always surprised in movies like this - how long people can survive in ice cold ocean water. Ten minutes up to my chin, and I'm pretty sure I am dead. But it loses drama if people die quicklyRemake Titanic and have Jack throw that selfish ##### Rose off the floating door.

During one of my Aircrew survival schools, they showed us footage of some research the Royal Navy had done with volunteers being immersed into freezing water. In a very short time those guys were shivering so bad it looked like convulsions. Had to be pulled from the water, they couldn't move and certainly couldn't talk.I was always surprised in movies like this - how long people can survive in ice cold ocean water.

I know that feeling.
My ex put her feet on me once.

August? Damn, I bet it was nice in August! January not so muchThe worst I had, and it was nothing compared to the Brits, was being taught covert river crossing to slow down bloodhounds in Maine in August in the Rangley area. You strip down and keep your clothes on top of your head so you have dry warm clothing when you emerge. Best if you go upstream if you can, the farther the better. They will waste a good amount of time starting right across from where you enter, and hopefully a ways downstream. looking to pick up your trail.
Those mountain waters are pretty cold. Was only in a couple minutes but man........... But it worked. The State Prison team up there to help lost about 15 minutes. You can never really loose bloodhounds unless you can get a vehicle, all you can hope to do is extend your lead until rescue or the handlers give up. Each minute expands the search area and is precious.

For your consideration ...
Was taught that if the water is pretty much calm and you don't move a lot, fully clothed with flotation, staying as still as possible, body heat warms the water close to the skin developing an insulation space between skin and clothes to extend time in the water that can give time to be rescued. It does work. And if with a group of others in the same situation, huddling together increases survival.

Have you been through CWES?Nobody crossing rivers in Rangley in January.And the weather was nice. Those water temps still pretty chilly.
