:"When we saw our plane on TV as 'breaking news'... it was the most surreal, out of body experience I ever had... I just composed a little something so that if anything happened would know that our last goodbye wasn't on the phone... A lot of the women of course were crying... There was a gentleman across the way who was writing in his journal and crying, and seeing that isn't easy." http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/23/airliner.emergency.ap/index.html

Upon landing safely, she described the atmosphere of jubilant cheering and applause inside the airplane. ""It sounded like Dodger Stadium in there."
