Could you be a little quieter with that thing, please? Kat telling the rescue worker to be careful right before her death.

Kat Jennings is a main character in Final Destination 2 and is a survivor of the Route 23 highway pileup. She is a businesswoman and the fourth survivor of Route 23 to die.

Biography

Kat lived somewhere in New York working as a marketing consultant for a business firm. Prior to the crash, Kat was supposed to meet with a client at a bed and breakfast via bus when suddenly the bus hits Terry Chaney, disgusting Kat and sparing her from suffocation caused by a gas leak in the lodge.

Final Destination: Death of the Senses

Kat was referenced in Death of the Senses when she was riding the bus that Jack Curtis drove. Because of this, Jack had accidently killed a blonde girl on the sidewalk and Kat saw the accident going on, causing Jack to lose his job.

Kat, reprimanding Thomas before she leaves.

Kat was driving her car on Route 23 and talking on the phone when suddenly Dano Estevez throws his weed at her windshield. Kat silently asks if it was him. Kimberly Corman has a premonition that a huge pile-up will occur and blocks traffic, stopping other people, including Kat who complains about the inconvenience, from using the road. Abruptly, the crash happens just like Kimberly predicted, killing 18 people.

Later, Kat was interviewed with the other crash survivors at the police station, where she learned about the events of Flight 180. After returning home, she talks with her concerned mother on the phone while exercising on the treadmill, soon learning from the news that another survivor of the crash was just killed. The next day. she went to Burke's apartment like the others, Kimberly and Clear Rivers warn them that they are in danger. But Kat leaves to go outside to smoke. Her attitude changes after witnessing Nora's brutal death, and a horrified Kat asked if they could find the pregnant woman as she realizes that she's next in line to die.

The next day, Kat drives herself, Clear, Kimberly, Eugene DIx , Thomas Burke, and Rory Peters to the hospital to see the pregnant woman. Suddenly, a tire bursts and her car goes skidding off the road and through a load of PVC pipes, which causes a long PVC pipe to be propelled through Kat's headrest, although Kat is not harmed. Everyone is fine except Eugene, who has a collapsed lung after a PVC pipe hit him. Everyone gets out of the car except for Kat, as she has been wedged in the SUV by a huge log. As the rescue crew are trying to get her out of the car, Kat begins smoking. She asks a rescue worker operating the jaws of life to work a little quieter, causing the bemused man to ram it into the car extra hard, accidentally causing the airbag to deploy. The force of the airbag pushes Kat's head back onto the pipe, and as the airbag deflates the rescue worker realizes that he accidentally killed her. Her cigarette drops out of her hand into the fuel leakage, instigating a chain reaction which results in Rory's death.

Kat's Death

Signs/Clues

• After pulling Brian Gibbons out of the way of an incoming news van, Rory tells him to "use his head."
• The location of Kat's car wreck is at the 180 Mile Marker.
• Before the incident, another pipe was shown and gas was running through it. The gas looked a lot like blood.
• In the opening credits, a pencil points at the back of Kimberly's head on the photo hinting someone was going to be impaled in the back of the head.
• When Rory was talking about how he was uncomfortable sitting next to the person who is going to die, Rory whispers, "hopefully her," pointing to Kat.

Trivia

• Kat's death appears in the opening sequence of The Final Destination. However, if one looks clearly, the X-ray picture of Kat's death is inaccurate to her actual death. In Final Destination 2, the pipe impales Kat through the forehead in a straight position, but in the X-ray shot, the pipe impales her from the back of her head and goes downwards, crossing her head all the way to her nose.
• Kat Jennings is referenced in the opening credits of Final Destination 5 with PVC pipes crashing into the screen.
• She is the only fourth survivor to die, that's female. The other fourth survivors (Billy Hitchcock, Lewis Romero, Andy Kewzer, and Dennis Lapman) were male.
• She is the only survivor of the Route 23 pileup to die in the exact order she was supposed to, even after the order was reversed (as there were 8 survivors and she was the fourth). In the premonition, she died after Thomas, Eugene, and Rory. As Kimberly was skipped after the pileup, she died after Evan, Tim, and Nora.
• She is also the only survivor to die inside her same SUV she was driving on the Route 23.
• The crash appears way too accurate for Kat to do on her own, so Death might also be controlling the car.
• In the script of Final Destination 2, she is described as: KAT JENNINGS, 29, very corporate America, wears a navy-blue power suit and speaks into a phone headset while smoking a cigarette.
• In a TV edit for Final Destination 2, her death was censored by not showing the aftermath of the pipe going through her skull.
• In an early script for Final Destination 2, the build up to her death was much longer.
