No, Indian-British woman Bhoomi Chauhan is not a real-life version of a Final Destination movie protagonist, no matter what you might think when you read about her Thursday in the BBC.
First off, she was traveling alone. A canonical Final Destination movie’s plot would mean that she would’ve had to have friends with her to die horribly one by one before she did or at the very least have somehow also prevented about five or six strangers from getting on the flight too. That seems unlikely. Second and more importantly than the first actually, she never made it on board Air India Flight 171. She would’ve needed to be on the plane and have a premonition before takeoff and then get off and see it crash. Chauhan just got stuck in traffic, argued with the check-in agents, got really pissed, and it took too long for her to get through security, only to miss her flight by 10 minutes.
So no, death is not stalking her now that she cheated it through a random psychic premonition and then there’s this whole 90 minutes of increasingly elaborate and gruesome fatal accidents involving lawnmowers and buses and tanning beds – and that fire escape ladder shit was brutal – until she either finds some way to cheat death or she doesn’t. Don’t be silly. It was just traffic that saved her.
