If the reports in India of a sole survivor are true, this would be the deadliest accident with a single survivor in aviation history (previously was 1/157 in a Northwest flight in 1987) 😥

Interesting that lots of reviews have been critical of Final Reckoning's first "exposition hour". I had no issue with that - it reminded me of a good Bond film - but I found the underwater sequence slow and inert. After that it's obv just everything you want from blockbuster cinema #finalreckoning
