| Could you trade seats with Blake so she and I can sit together? I asked Tod, but he's got some medical thing.

Christa Marsh is a character in the film Final Destination. She is a high school student and a casualty of the Volée Airlines Flight 180 explosion.
Final Destination
Christa and Blake Dreyer are best friends who are almost always together, and Tod Waggner has a major crush on both of them.
After Christa and Blake board Flight 180 to Paris with the rest of their French class, Blake asks Tod if he can trade seats with Christa so they can sit together. Tod tells them both he has a bladder infection so that he can sit with Blake. The girls go to ask Alex Browning instead, who is currently having his premonition.
Alex turns toward Christa and Blake after they get his attention. Christa asks if Alex can trade seats with Blake, and explains what Tod told them. Alex agrees to move next to Tod, so Christa and Blake end up sitting in row 25.
A few minutes after taking off, the plane starts to shake violently a couple of times as the lights flicker. Christa starts to panic and scream, as do a few other passengers. Soon, everyone on board starts to yell and scream as it becomes clear that something is wrong. Soon, fire erupts out of Engine #1, and the plane starts to fall to the ground.
A few minutes pass, and then the front of the plane explodes. A wall of fire roars into the cabin, incinerating Christa and everyone else aboard.
However, all of this only happens in Alex's premonition.
Death
When Christa and Blake try to get Alex's attention, he is apparently asleep and suddenly wakes up with a start, gasping for breath. Christa asks Alex if he can trade seats with Blake so that they can both sit together, and then explains the lie that Tod told them, just like in Alex's dream. Alex is startled and begins to run to his other seat, scaring Christa and Blake and leaving them speechless. They decide to sit down as Alex starts to rant that the plane is going to explode. A crew member arrives and tells Alex to leave. Seconds later, a fight breaks out between Carter Horton and Alex, who Christa sees getting removed from the plane. Eventually, the crew member has had enough and removes the others in the aisle: Terry Chaney, Valerie Lewton, Larry Murnau, and Billy Hitchcock. Tod and Clear Rivers get off the plane on their own, leaving Christa and Blake. Minutes later, Larry returns, and the plane departs.
The plane loses control and explodes the way it was supposed to, and Christa is incinerated with all the other passengers.
