I saw or heard something somewhere a few minutes ago that none of the bodies had life jackets on. Can’t remember now if it was online or on tv. A bit late at night to “multi-task”. :-)
It sounds like whatever happened, happened too fast for anyone to put one on before the plane crashed, and it appears the plane hit hard and people died on impact. No chance to put one on once in the water.
You just know they knew they were going down. When these plane crashes happen, I’m always plagued by thoughts of the helplessness and the horror they must have felt. There was nothing they could do.
I think probabaly your life passes before you that quick....gosh I don’t know and I don’t want to know!
I was in a car accident once...happened so fast and the airbag hit me so hard darn near knocked me out entirely...I had no clue what happened.
But in a plane...and it’s going down...as you said you can do nothing but prepare for the impact.
The fact they found the emergency door is interesting....but we won’t relly know until they get the black box and even then...who made it out of the plane if at all.
