Titanic Staircase Inspired Floating Theory

While filming the flooding of the Grand Staircase for James Cameron's Titanic (1997), the force of the water tore the replica staircase from its steel-reinforced foundations and sent it floating to the surface. Cameron suggested that the original wooden staircase may have broken free and floated out in the same way during the real sinking, which could explain why it is missing from the wreck.
