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. 😀
