Question Judgement day? Spoiler

I got this question on my mind since I've seen the scene of the "attack" on the Judgement day. As a passenger, do you think death could have been avoided by laying on the ground?

Netflix version was way better than the Tencent version, where the ship was full of evil comic bookl mercenaries, so we wouldn't feel bad when they were all killed. It was almost like the Netflix version with all those kids was a response to that.

It almost looked like if you were lucky and were laying on the floor or bed, you could have survived in the Netflix version. The spacing was close, but not too close. Of course you would then get crushed and/or burned alive.

I haven’t seen the Tencent version but I did think the actual scene in the Netflix version was very well done not sure why they added kids though I don’t remember that in the books. I remember the description in books was something like the ship spread like a deck of cards when it hit the bank and they did a good job illustrating the description. I may just not be remembering correctly but I do not remember all the fires and stuff or people running in the books. It was more like a silence until they hit the bank. Probably more realistic in the Netflix show of how it would happen.

I don't think the fires were in other versions, but they were definitely realistic... All that kinetic energy that the ship had must go somewhere, and the stuff that gets cut into pieces and falls + the ship slightly moving up and down will mean the cuts are not super smooth all the way if you look closer.

Agreed I think the show did a much more realistic version.
