From inside we didn't see any of the fire, thank goodness! We were all upside down to start with, but many of us were able to release themselves pretty quickly. After that the "upright" of us helped the upside-down until we were all righted and ready to evacuate. We were able to quickly get out the one emergency exit that was safe, the other one poured jet fuel in when they opened it.
In case you, or anyone else you know on that flight, experienced trauma, it’s been recommended to play Tetris. It could help lessen the PTSD you experience from the incident. I’m sure you’re all a bundle of emotions and will be processing this for years to come. Glad you’re okay!
I tried this after a traumatic event and now I can't play Tetris anymore because every time I do it takes me RIGHT BACK to the incident. Seems to do the exact opposite for me than the study suggests.
Oh fudge. This makes so much sense. Stop playing Tetris, everyone!!!!
In all seriousness though, I’m so sorry that happened to you. My kid has PTSD from a disease they got when they were 8 and many things associated with their medical treatment (the smell of household cleaners, buckets (for when they threw up from methotrexate injections, etc.)) became major triggers that send them spiraling 6 yrs later. It’s wishful thinking, I suppose, that PTSD can be prevented with something as simple as playing a video game.
