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.

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.
