The slab of driftwood that got fans of Titanic debating whether it could have saved Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) from drowning or not, has been sold at an auction for more than $700,000. It is the same floating panel of wood that Jack used to save Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) from icy North Atlantic waters after the ocean liner sank.
It was atop the panel (often mistaken for a door) that Rose made a promise to Jack of never letting go before she clung on for her life as she watched her frozen Jack sink into the ocean while she made it out safe.
