TV Version of Final Destination 3 Tanning Bed Scene (Alternative Dialogue And Footage) [partially lost]

I’ve been trying to track down a specific TV-edited version of Final Destination 3, specifically the infamous tanning bed death scene.

In the theatrical and home media versions, the two characters enter the tanning beds completely nude. However, an alternate TV broadcast version exists where the scene was re-shot for television censorship. In this version, the characters are shown wearing bikinis instead, and there is reportedly alternate dialogue recorded to fit the changed context.

So far, only extremely short clips of this TV version have surfaced online, and they’re all in very poor quality. None of the clips include the alternate dialogue people mention, since they cut off too quickly.

There’s also another detail I’ve heard about involving the goggles melting into one character’s eyes. While this already happens in the theatrical version, multiple people claim the TV cut briefly shows her trying to pull the goggles off in more graphic detail than the normal release.

As of now, I haven’t been able to find:
• A full upload of the TV version
• The alternate dialogue
• Confirmation of the extended “goggles” shot

If anyone has recordings of old TV airings, remembers what channel/network it aired on, or has any clues on where this version might be archived, I’d massively appreciate the help.

Finally found a small clip of the Bikini version of the tanning scene. (Too bad the quality’s atrocious)

Good to know that it actually exists tho

The Video That Made Me Stop Being an Anti. Crazy Part Is, I Was Agreeing With Her Until This Weirdly Patronizing and Childish Outburst… Yikes 😬

Imagine unironically saying 'boohoo.' It’s giving Disney Channel bully, which is ironic, considering she looks exactly like the person they’d be shoving into a locker in these movies XD

According to IMBD and multiple comments online, there exists a version of the tanning bed death where Ashley and Ashlyn wear bikinis instead of going completely nude, as well as some lines being changed, along with Ashlyn's eye injury being shown in greater detail. Is this true, and does anybody have a link to this edited version of the scene?
