Bonnie Crasnoff

Bonnie was one of the many victims of the train crash in Into You Like a Train, in which she and another man, Tom, had a metal pole running through them.

Personal life
Bonnie was admitted to Seattle Grace after a train crash, she along with a stranger named Tom were impaled with a pole but the two managed to make light of the situation, even joking about needing breath mints, and they grew emotionally close. Bonnie didn't immediately realise the full extent of her injuries but after an MRI, the doctors discovered that the pole had severed Bonnie's spinal cord and was unable to move her own feet. Because the injuries were more extensive, it was almost definite that she would die when the pole was removed. She went into surgery with Tom and asked Derek to say goodbye to her fiance if she died and asked Tom quietly if he believed in heaven. When the pole was removed, she began to bleed out and flatline and all the doctors but Meredith abandoned her to work on Tom (who survived). However, it was clear that once Meredith stopped with the compressions that Bonnie would die so Bailey stopped her and called the time of death.



The impact of Bonnie's death was significant for Meredith, as she reappeared with Denny and Dylan Young (Some Kind of Miracle) when Meredith was floating between life and death. She told Meredith that the doctors should have done more to save her, and frequently bled from her wound from the pole.

Romantic life
She had a fiancé named Danny who was flying out to Seattle. Before the surgery she asked Derek to relay a message to him. Derek told Danny that she had said that if love were enough she would still be with him.
