The making of James Cameron’s epic film Titanic was fraught with drama, both on and off the set. In the summer of 1996, during filming in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a baffling incident unfolded that involved dozens of cast and crew members falling ill after unknowingly ingesting PCP-spiked chowder. The mystery remains unsolved to this day.

James Cameron and his crew were shooting a scene when they began experiencing strange symptoms after a meal. Crew members recounted feeling euphoria, paranoia, and even violent reactions. Panic ensued as people were hospitalized, with some experiencing restless behavior and consuming charcoal.

The investigation into the poisoning remains inconclusive, with theories ranging from disgruntled crew members to a prank gone wrong. Despite a police report containing redacted statements, no suspects were identified.

This bizarre event added a sensational chapter to the already legendary production history of Titanic, forever solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon. The film went on to achieve critical and commercial success, becoming a testament to its compelling story and charming imagery.
