Black - Unstructured Hat
Buckled Closer - 100% Bio-washed Chino Twill
During a catered lunch on the set of Titanic, between 60 and 80 cast and crew members indulged in clam chowder. The food, which was brought in by a catering company, seemed fine at first, recalled several crew members, but within 15 minutes, things started to go terribly wrong. People became dizzy, euphoric, panicked. Some cried. Some vomited. Others wandered the set unable to find their way out. The crew was transported, from the set, to an area hospital for treatment.
Some who had ingested the food assumed they had food poisoning. When they turned up at the hospital, however, it became evident that food poisoning wasn’t the issue. At the hospital, crew members conga-lined through corridors and raced wheelchairs down the hall. James Cameron bled from a pen wound to the face and laughed. Bill Paxton felt the walls closing in. The cinematographer led a procession. Weeks later, the Halifax police department issued a statement.
The cast and crew of Titanic had been drugged. According to Entertainment Weekly, PCP was slipped into the chowder that many of the crew members ate.
No one was seriously harmed. Filming resumed. The Halifax police investigated for years. No suspect was ever charged. The incident remains one of the strangest episodes in modern film production — a moment of collective hallucination on the set of the most expensive movie ever made.
A footnote in cinema history.
