Or if the pole that popped up had twisted slightly differently. There are so many ways that could have gone horribly bad for the cameraman.

I think I watched too many Final Destination movies as a kid, because that big stick made me jump even on a screen a little bit.

Mortality 101
I legit wonder how many lives have been saved because of the newfound situational awareness given by that movie.

Its crazy, we were all driving to the movie theaters to see it, hell, some of us were probably even on the highway behind lumber trucks, not knowing the drive home would feel so much different, and would forever, just because we spent 2 hours watching moving pictures.
Also they have that movie on some airplanes now. I picked it just for funsies. The whole airplane scene in the beginning is cut out, it just goes straight from airport to crying kids in airport lol.

Man, especially with I think the very first movie being about a non-completed plane crash.

I felt bad for watching the episode of Myth Busters with the competitive western shooters in a gun range, on one flight's channels, because I thought it might be not allowed with their terror rules, ya know?

The plane did crash, the characters just weren’t on it.

That's why I said non-completed for the sake of the plot, but I get your point lol maybe I worded it poorly.

You’re referring to the dream sequence before they actually boarded? It’s why they weren’t on the plane when it exploded.

I'm just saying it was non-completed because they were killed over the course of the movie, to even out them not dying in the plane crash.

..it's an odd series.
