More information has been revealed in a police report looking into how the Titanic film crew was served chowder laced with a hallucinogenic drug in Nova Scotia in 1996.
It has been 28 years since some of the cast and crew who worked on the blockbuster film ' Titanic ' in Nova Scotia got mysteriously high after eating seafood chowder. It's one of the entertainment world's biggest mysteries. Heidi Petracek explains the new information Halifax police have revealed, and the lingering question of who spiked the soup.
“He didn’t want anyone else touching it, so he asked me if I would be this lab technician for this one day of shooting here in Dartmouth.” “People started acting strange. I remember hearing on the headset that people were acting very bizarre down in the lunchroom,” he says.“I was up in the production office. James Cameron, came to me. He said, ‘You’re a medic, right?’ I go, ‘Yep.’ He says, ‘Well, fix me. There’s something wrong with me.'”As more and more people fell ill, Courtney says he began mass casualty triaging, but quickly realized things were getting out of hand.
She describes feeling like she had “drank three beers and had a joint” but didn’t experience the flashbacks some others did.“I didn’t have a lot of experience with a lot of psychedelic drugs … there was some people I knew were having some really bad, really tough times. I think it was kind of flashback-related.”
It said officers arrived at the Dartmouth General Hospital and “observed a large number of people both in the emergency area of the hospital and outside the emergency doors.”It took hours to triage and treat everyone. It was an experience the late actor, Bill Paxton, would describe years later in an interview with Larry King.
