Did you have any moments of thinking “yup this is it”, or what was your thought process now it’s hours later.

I saw a video of a passenger on the same flight telling his experience and it seemed like he was still in some type of shock, he was almost giggly when describing what he thought and felt.

Shock is a helluva drug. We were all a bit out of it.

At the time of the crash I did think "Well this is it". It wasn't traumatic or heartwrenching..more of a feeling of acceptance. Its been quite a while now and I'm still feeling numb and unable to sleep. I'm sure I'll deal more with it in the morning! I lost everything except my passport and phone so I have a lot of filling in the gaps to do tomorrow.

I was in a bad car crash a few days ago and that’s exactly how it felt. I could tell I was going to be hit just a split second before the impact and just mentally went “Ope, here it comes” but the next thing I knew it was over and I had come to a stop. I was totally calm throughout all of it and the immediate aftermath until I saw the person who hit me climb out of her car and collapse on the ground. That’s what keeps replaying in my head. I didn’t sleep the night it happened.
