I think he could have easily survived. The height of the fall into water there would not have killed him, the fire he zipped through in a fraction of a second wouldn't have done much, he could have just swam to where they started in the engine room and made the climb over again. I was really anticipating him showing up in the end, I don't understand why the movie thought that was a convincing death
shareMy dad was an EMT. He actually witnessed someone falling into water with burning gasoline/oil on the surface and saw the guy pop out after swimming out from under it. I remember him telling us in great detail how Reverend Scott should have survived.
shareTwo things:
This is a movie with a plot dependent on the hero self-sacrificing.
The character wanted to die. See above.
But glad to hear the facts.
He didn't resurface, so yes he must have it something underneath if it does need reasoning.
But as you say, it was plot dependent on self sacrifice.
First there is a difference between self-sacrifying and the will to die. Second there is always the chance that God appreciates the WILL to sacrifice more than the offer
(Gen 22, 1-12).
So there was at least a (little cheesy) chance to save Frank in the end.
Sorry, not a native speaker.. .
His hands would have been in torturous pain from holding on to the scorching valve i’m glad we didn’t have to hear him screaming through the end of the film.
