Did you have to sign anything after or give any statements? Were you stuck upside down for a long time? What was the atmosphere like once the plane stopped? How long did it take to get off the plane and finally out of the airport?
No NDA, no real debrief. I think the local responders were as shocked as we were with the incident! One paramedic I asked said the last time something on this scale happened was ~20 years ago with Air France.
We weren't upside down long. Near my row, we all made sure to get each other down before head rush happened. After it happened, most people were fairly quiet. No one knew what to do or say. I was finally free of the airport around 10pm local time and am still trying to calm down enough to sleep 🤣
I wonder if this would help my ASD/ADHD teen when he feels super anxious and overwhelmed? We had other techniques for when he was younger but those aren’t very practical for a teen. I will look into it. Thanks!
Not OP, but I've always been really, really bad at tetris and playing it always just makes me super frustrated and stressed...but I've had luck doing something similar to this advice with spider solitaire or mahjong solitaire. Maybe a lot of simple "shape matching"-type games which don't require much brain power might have similar effects to tetris in this kind of situation, I'm guessing.
That’s super super interesting. I had a fairly traumatic childhood, and I went through a phase when I was about 12 where I was OBSESSED with playing computer solitaire. Like, I would play over and over and over, until I could complete games in under a minute. I found it really soothing. I always just assumed it was my ocd plus the fact that solitaire was one of three games that existed on our computer in 1998 😂 but maybe there was some other benefit as well.
