Dustin is a character in the film Final Destination. He is a Mt. Abraham High School student and a casualty of the Volée Airlines Flight 180 explosion.
Final Destination
Dustin was present when Carter Horton bullied Billy Hitchcock outside the airport, right after they got off the bus. Later inside the airport, Dustin was seen following the group and listening to Larry Murnau's French. Before boarding Flight 180, Dustin approached when Carter bullied Billy again. Dustin smiled at Carter, and Carter patted him in reply, then both of them walked away; because of this, it can be assumed that they were friends. Dustin sat on the left side of the plane, in the same row as Valerie Lewton. During the explosion, Dustin's face had burned black, and some of his hair even burned away. But he didn't die until the window side was destroyed, and he was the first one to be sucked out of the cabin, followed by the two students who sat next to him.
Death
Dustin's face had burned into black
Dustin heard Alex Browning shouting about his premonition, but didn't get off the plane, and he remained on it when it took off. It can be assumed that he died the same way as he did in Alex's premonition.
Trivia
- The character is uncredited in the movie, as the role is considered a background extra, but the actor was credited as one of the stuntmen.
- Dustin wore the same Mt. Abraham High School jacket as Carter Horton and George Waggner, and his name was seen on his jacket. The three were the only students who were seen wearing the school jacket, but only Dustin remained wearing it on the plane, and both Carter and George had taken it off.
- The monument that lists the names of the 39 Mount Abraham High School students and teachers who were killed on Flight 180 does not have the name Dustin on it. It can be argued that Dustin is the middle name of the character and that it wasn't included on the monument; otherwise, it creates a production error.
- Among the names on the monument, this character could be Dave Anderson, John Joseph Alvarez, Fraser Boyle, Rich Brown, William Burns, Vance Conway, Todd A. Emde, Ivan Fish, Wm. Carle Heslup, Stephen Jackson, Lee M. Jenkinson, Marko Lytviak, Terry Mackay, Derick McLeod, William McMahon, Bryan Pederson, Terry Sonderhoff, Geoffrey Wallace, or John B. Willett.
- Dustin was named after the actor Dustin Brooks, who portrayed him.
- The song Dust in the Wind is heard on the plane and on the bus on the North Bay Bridge from Final Destination 5.
