In the movie The Grey, the immediate aftermath of the plane crash saw eight men initially survive the devastating incident in the harsh Alaskan wilderness. This group included characters like Ottway (Liam Neeson) and Lewenden (James Badge Dale).
However, the struggle for survival was immediate and brutal. Lewenden, one of the eight men who survived the initial impact, tragically succumbed to his injuries shortly after the crash. Ottway was present during his final moments, helping him accept his fate. This early death reduced the number of survivors from the initial crash.
