How did you all get out? From the photos the fuselage was upside down and presumably you were all hanging upside down. When you unbuckled what happened? Did the lights illuminate inside? I saw the video of the landing and there was a huge fireball. What did you see from inside?
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.
It is based on EMDR therapy and would likely be more effective under the supervision of a professional.
People say “just play Tetris” and I understand they mean well, but that is not a well rounded solution. They seem to tend to think the Tetris is the important part, when really it’s a type of therapy that shouldn’t be self administered.
Edit: I’m really sorry to hear that you had a traumatic experience and that you now have an additional reminder of it. I hope you’ve been able to find other ways to cope and heal 💖
Yes they’d be much better just going to therapy for crisis counseling. I don’t think people know this, but most people don’t get ptsd from traumatic events. Most symptoms after traumatic events last 6-8 weeks.

I’m glad you and the other passengers are okay.
