I guess this qualifies as an air crash Red Board, but my partner ( business you pervs) had a friend on the flight and he spoke with him about an hour after. I had told Patrick about the crash and he knew Pat (Patrick's friend)fom NY and was worried. Called and left a VM saying glad your phone is ringing, but please let me know you are not on this flight. About 45 Min later Pat calls Patrick.."I just got off the wing, all I have is my phone, my wife is crying ( and he was too)...got your message and holy sh.it"..
Said he was up front and heard loud bang and then the pilot came on and said they were making a sharp left turn and that there would be a rapid descend. Then said to brace as he had lost control and would try and make a water landing. Mostly silence but many prayers. A big impact and then people going nuts. It started out orderly but then water was rising and it was crazy. Pat said he climbed over seats to get to the escape hatch but there were many people in the water or on the wing.
He's on Amtrak tomorrow home
