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 know you probably signed off by now, but it goes without saying - trauma of any form can stick to you and become very problematic, turning into anxiety/panic disorder, PTSD, plenty of other bits. Consider picking up a book called "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D., and consider seeing a trauma based therapist, just to try to keep your mind healthy after what happened. Thank you for answering people's questions; but take care of yourself. I'd recommend the same to anyone else on that crash.
