Continuity mistake: During the bridge collapse scene, when Olivia is crawling on the beam, she is first seen on the part of the beam that is closer to Sam. Almost instantly afterwards, she is on the part of the them that is closer to Molly. The space between the two beams increases significantly between the two shots as well.
Final Destination 5 (2011)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steven Quale
Starring: David Koechner, Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Arlen Escarpeta, Ellen Wroe, Miles Fisher
Peter, having learned that killing someone destined to live will remove him from death's list, attempts to kill Molly and shoots Agent Block dead before he is killed by Sam. Two weeks later, Sam and Molly board the flight to Paris so Sam can take up his culinary apprenticeship... And at this point it's revealed this film is actually a prequel, and the flight is the same Flight 180 from the first film. Having seen the scuffle that got Alex and company kicked off the plane, Sam realises too late what is about to happen. Molly is killed when she is sucked out of the plane, and Sam dies when the plane explodes. Nathan learns that the co-worker he accidentally killed was about to die from a brain aneurysm anyway, seconds before he is crushed by Flight 180's destroyed engine.

William Bludworth: Death... doesn't like to be cheated.
Trivia: Roy's racecar in the photos of him on the bar at the end is the same car that causes the crash in FD4 - you can see it in the end credits rerun of prior film scenes.
Question: Bludworth states that he's, "Seen this before" referring to Death's Design. If the bridge incident takes place before Flight 180, and is the first, then how would he have seen it before? And why is the bridge incident not mentioned in the first film if it took place only two weeks earlier?
Answer: To answer your first question, Bludworth does in fact mention he has "seen this before", but this means he could have seen these events before the film series ever took place. It is possible that this is where he had learned a lot about death's design. This could even hint at another sequel/prequel. To answer your second question, none of the survivors had been alive to tell the tale of what happened to the survivors of the bridge collapse. In the first few movies, it is noted that the protagonist freaks out, thus, startling MANY people. In the 5th film, Sam is only seen freaking out inside the bus. Even if the FBI have the information, they could have finished the investigation completely, due to Sam, Molly, and Nathan surviving (Until the end of the movie, that is).
