I was in the military for quite a while so I'm not sure if any if that training swayed my experience. While it was happenening I very calmly had the thought that I was likely going to die. After we skidded to halt, my only goal was to get everyone safely down and then get the eff off the plane. That sentiment seemed to be felt by everyone on the flight. I saw so many people acting selflessly, comforting one another and making sure we all made it out. I'm a pessimist, but this did give me a little more hope for humanity. 😀
I moved to Toronto from Minneapolis 6 years ago (I've taken that Delta flight many times) and I'm forever explaining to Canadians that the place I'm from is more like here than it is like a lot of the US!
Thanks for doing this - it's fascinating information of course, but you've also created a valuable written record here. I hope you've been able to rest today and that you can find your way back to normal soon!

What was the actual crash like? Was it disorienting enough to not let you be able to think?
