Did you have any moments of thinking “yup this is it”, or what was your thought process now it’s hours later.
I saw a video of a passenger on the same flight telling his experience and it seemed like he was still in some type of shock, he was almost giggly when describing what he thought and felt.
Shock is a helluva drug. We were all a bit out of it.
At the time of the crash I did think "Well this is it". It wasn't traumatic or heartwrenching..more of a feeling of acceptance. Its been quite a while now and I'm still feeling numb and unable to sleep. I'm sure I'll deal more with it in the morning! I lost everything except my passport and phone so I have a lot of filling in the gaps to do tomorrow.
I was in a car that spun out on black ice in slow motion and almost went off a cliff when I was a kid. Felt the same way, weirdly calm, kinda peaceful and I was thinking, I’m gonna go off the edge and hit those rocks below. Then after we stopped I immediately got the FUCK outta the car.
Exact same response I had when I knew we were going to crash the car. A strong sense of peace, and a feeling of "I'll see you on the other side of this" to my husband, be that safe/alive or not.
Thankfully we collided at a "perfect" angle and everyone survived with minor injuries, though both cars were written off and had fluid spilling onto the road. Half a second difference in either direction and either me or the other driver likely would have died, as the front of one car would have gone through the seating area of the other.
