 CONT: Near the end of the movie when the airplane with Neal and Lia  is crashing, the first shot of it sliding down the mountain clearly  shows the tail broken off, and we also see someone outside/above the  cockpit waving their arms, but in the following shots the plane is  shown with the fuselage still intact (minus wings only) sliding down  the mountain and the cockpit is also still intact with both people  inside and in their seats. This is also the way the plane ends up in  the crevice.
