That scene is my favorite in the entire franchise. Terrific craftsmanship in its setup and execution, as each little vignette leads into the next, a cascade of small moments of inescapable cause and deadly effect. Everything about it felt plausible, and reasonable. Oddly enough, it was never scary to me. Welcome to TH-cam, and good luck!
@RydarkVoyager, Thank you for your comment. I agree with you the set up is done exceptionally well. The scene is not scary but it had a mark on me that I can't shake. Subconsciously my mind always returns to this scene when I'm driving behind or near a trailer or dump truck. Have a wonderful day!
"Final Destination 2"'s opening sequence was jaw dropping, but it wasn't as WTF!? as "Final Destination" was seeing it for the first time. I watched FD on cable without knowing anything about it, but it quickly got my attention! The "Final Destination" franchise is still one of my favourites. The movie that had biggest effect on me due to a scary scene was a movie from the 70s that I saw as a kid, where some arabs were on a roller coaster and a guy with psychic powers caused the cars to tumble off the tracks resulting in the heads of the arabs tumbling off as well. I thought for 40 years that it was "The Fury", but apparently it's a different movie altogether, unless there's an alternate edit that played in Australia? I still fear roller coasters because of that scene. Like the extended version of "First Blood" that noone can find anywhere, but we all know we watched on TV. "Flatliners" is the movie that changed me. I started righting all my wrongs as best I could after watching that movie, just-in-case...
it was recently found out (2023) that nearly every airline (JetBlue, Delta, United, Southwest, etc) was using uncertified fake parts for JET ENGINE repair and that the extent of the fraud is still unknown. So your jitters about airlines randomly crashing is not unfounded.
@rookandpawn, Thanks for the heads up. I guess my fear comes from I have no control when I'm riding an airplane as opposed to the illusion of control I have when driving in a car. Eventhough flying is statistically safer than driving (I read and heard that somewhere) I just prefer driving over flying. Finding out this news will not change my behaviors and I will likely still fly I just hate the experience and everything leading up to boarding and takeoff. Thank you for your insights and have a beautiful day!

I love the OG Flatliners film, I need to see The Fury though so thank you for the recommendation. Thank you for your comment and have a great day!
