Potential Movie Spoilers (Its kinda the core plot tho)
Yes this is obviously in reference to Final Destination Movie/media-franchise
By vehicle I mean like anything. Bus, Train, Boat, Submarine (like the Titan lol), Plane, anything you would plausibly travel on in your lifetime.
No, predicting the future by way of esoteric knowledge is not real. Anyone who says they can do it is delusional or lying to you.
I would believe them that they had the vision, I wouldn’t believe it would literally happen, but I would consider if it was a sign that the trip was not a good idea for some other reason.
I’m of the same mind.
I don’t necessarily believe in “supernatural”/“paranormal” type stuff but I am of the mind that a good chunk of the information we process is unconscious, and those “bad gut feelings” sometimes are a means of our bodies reacting to said information.
Now, it could also be anxiety, mental health crisis symptoms etc. but those are also technically reactions to things. Assessing what is actually being reacted to and if it’s worth changing entire plans over is the important part.
I don’t put stock in the paranormal/ supernatural, but I’ve seen every one of those movies, and I know that if you try to get out of the situation, you’ll end up in an even worse Rube Goldberg machine of death.
“Rusted. Tetanus. Nice one. I overlooked it. You tried to capitalize. But I caught you.”
Which was wrong. Tetanus is not caused by rust. It’s caused by punctures. You can get tetanus from a perfectly metallic silver nail. Rust just provides handy nooks and crannies for the tetanus microbe to sit and wait. If I remember right, it was a fishing hook on an unused pole in an otherwise clean house/ closet. Unlikely it would have tetanus lingering.

You’re right about tetanus not being caused by rust. But it’s not caused by sheer punctures, it is a serious disease of the nervous system caused by a toxin-producing bacterium called Clostridium tetani. It can often be found in soil, but yes, if you leave a perfectly clean silver nail in that soil (which is infected by the bacterium), then yes, you can get infected.
I’d ask them if they have a CO detector at home.
Plot Twist: Final Destination is actually just people halucinating from CO poisoning
It’s just a warning from the CO detector lobby. This is your brain on CO.
I would continue on without a care in the world because superstitious people are a waste of my time. It’s just confirmation biases the game.
A vacation and the sweet release of death? That sounds far too good to be true. Obviously we still go on the holiday! It’s not every day that a psychic predicts your demise, it would be foolish to pass up such an opportunity. What better way to enjoy your time off than with the knowledge that you’re never going to have to go back?
If anything happens and we don’t die, I would want my friend to know I will be sorely disappointed. That two-bit clairvoyant will never hear the end of it if I have to live.
I’d make them a bet. I’ll give them 10.000 euro right now, and if I don’t die, they give me 20k right back. Surely, if they had a true vision, they’d go for it, right?
If I had less time to think it over, I’d probably just laugh at them really really hard.
Frankly depends a lot on the person.
If it’s the neurotic/anxious one, definitely not.
If it’s the group’s inexplicable psychic, definitely yes.
I’ve seen Final Destination.
I say we just get it over with because if it’s real, Death will just keep coming after us anyway because we fucked up his plan.
As someone with mild travel anxiety, I’d probably be the one with the vision. And even if not, it would make a good excuse to skip the trip and stay home like I wanted to do in the first place.

This, LOL. My credulity is inversely proportional to how badly I want to go on this trip.
I’d believe they had a vision, but beyond giving this person everything they need to not go if they don’t want to, me going would depend on the person, my relationship with them and how much effort/money was already invested in the plans.
Visions and dreams most likely talk about vague feelings/vibes someone got due to a variety of reasons imo, so it’s good to pay attention to them. However, taking them literally and going through great lengths just in case they play out exactly as imagined also seems foolish to me.
if it’s Boeing, I ain’t going ;) (Modern Boeings only, the older ones pre 737-Max8 are kinda safe)
Boeing or Airbus won’t matter if ATC is dark.
“Ah shit, I knocked all the plastic strips off the thing!”
I’d probably still go on the trip. I don’t believe in supernatural stuff, but even if they were right, didn’t Final Destination involve Death hunting down everyone who escaped the plane crash? I’d rather die quick on the plane (or maybe have a chance of living, maybe I was supposed to be one of the few survivors?) than deal with any of that.
Long ago I had a friend who claimed something similar. In front of the camp fire, he claimed he was feeing spirits inside of him and that he became possessed. He gained attention from the group for about a minute. At first they asked if he was okay. He continued to act possessed, so they stopped being kind. They yelled at him, made fun of him, imitated him….
I sat next to him and quietly asked if he was okay and needed anything. I didn’t really know what his reaction would be because I didn’t know him. He was a friend of a friend. Still, I told him that him and I could leave to take a walk and talk. He didn’t respond and simply stared at the fire. He ignored us for the rest of that night.
The following morning, he decided to act ignorant. “What happened? I don’t remember anything.” The group was pissed at him and barely talked to him. He hasn’t been invited to anything ever since.
This whole thing was very unfortunate. It’s a memory of mine that is painful. I understand back then we were teenagers. Teenagers explore their identities, sometimes in cringy ways. That’s normal. But still, the event isolated him from the group. And if I talk about this whole incident to anyone who was there that night, they still resent him.
I suppose this is a long answer to your question. If someone claimed they had a vision of the vehicle crashing/exploding and everyone dying, nobody would believe them and they’d be in for a tough time.
I feel like supernatural movies are just made to trigger schizophrenia and cause people to start being paranoid about everything.
Like imagine someone borderline schizophrenic but very chill, then they see The Truman Show and now they go full paranid mode.
Or worse, Inception might cause a suicide.
