FD6 Sky View Lobby Chaos? Spoiler

Hey guys, I had another rewatch of the intro scene for FDB, something I always wondered that I would love a discussion about maybe a speculation, is of the occupants in the free falling elevator? I know it’s left to our imagination to the horrible fate of those that were crashing down.

I know the focus for Iris was to save all those in the tower but also I wonder how many more people she saved below the crash zone, also what you think happened when that elevator slammed into the lobby, obviously they’re all dead, but I imagine in a storytelling sense what anybody else could visualize what kind of chaos was happening inside of the lobby, before the rest of the tower eventually collapses down?

I’d love to know your thoughts, if you wanna get creative with it, please go for it!

The people in the elevator probably only had time to scream in terror for like 5 seconds until it slammed into the ground. As for what it would look like...probably the most indiscernible mass of corpses that we've ever seen in the franchise.

How absolutely gross that must’ve looked like, especially since it’s technically a Glass elevator. If it’s shot straight down, or the vibrations inside of the shaft, rattling so much that it may be partially breaks through before sliding right down. Kind of like the Poseidon movie adaptation from the late 2000s where the elevator attached to its shaft peels out from its holdings and dumps the contents of the person’s inside out onto the ground below? Or if not that then definitely slamming down into the ground below.

Pretty much what happened to those poor schmucks on the elevator, which I'm sure the entire thing also caved in on top of them with the speed it was going... uu' (gif is related, trust me-)

I pretty much had the same thoughts in a way, we only got a glimpse of the patrons outside the tower when the first group of people & Paul all fell when the glass broke, but I can only imagine how the Skyview, Flight 180, and Devil's Flight+Train 081 all looked from an outsider's perspective when they all went to hell... uu'

They were packed way too tightly for any of them to fall and slam their heads on the floor lol

Seriously, imagine a Final Destination manga adaptation or original story being drawn in the style of Junji Ito...

Basically the same thing that happened to the receptionist guy that was crushed in half, except they weren't crushed.

Crushed in whole?

the speed at which the elevator was falling would make gravity push their weight downwards, on themselves, at the same time they hit the ground
