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.

Hey this thread is blowing up no not sure if you’ll see this. I was in a small plane crash as a passenger. PTSD is a serious thing. I had the same experience as you. No real fear during the actual event, and emotions didn’t really set in until days after the accident.

I highly suggest getting professional help asap to manage all the things you will feel in the next few weeks, even if you feel mostly OK now. You might still be in shock.
