First Six Minutes of Shocking "Grey’s Anatomy" Season Finale Released

ABC/RANDY HOLMES(LOS ANGELES) -- Shonda Rhimes, the creator of ABC’s Grey's Anatomy, has advised that Thursday’s season finale will contain "really shocking, horrible moments," and the just released first six minutes of the episode certainly confirms that warning. The footage is extremely graphic. 

Fans viewing last week's penultimate episode of the season saw a plane carrying the show's main characters crash in a forest.  The finale opens with the staff from Seattle Grace realizing they've been in a plane crash.

The season finale of Grey’s Anatomy airs Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
