Plane Crash Survivor Remembers Screams (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&e=3&u=/ap/commuter_plane_crash)

This crash occured about 10 miles south of where I go to school. The highway it occured off of is the same one I use when I go home.

What's really wierd is that I have taken this flight at least 10 times. It's a excellent possibility that I was on this same plane once if not several times in 2002 and 2003. These same pilots may have even flown me once or twice. In fact, one of the last times I flew on the plane, it was landing in similar conditions. The pilot flew low over the airport and couldn't see the runway. We had to climb back up and come around again about 15 minutes later. Then we were able to land safely. However, it was still daylight as opposed to night time in this crash. I'm not sure exactly how it's going to effect me. So far I've been fine, but the knowledge of it is a little wierd.

It's always crazy when stuff happens near your house... especially if you have been apart of it before.

Hope you feel better..

Thanks for your concern guys. Like I said, right now I feel fine. Sometimes it's just seems wierd to know that a plane I was on killed 13 people. I imagine this is how someone would feel if they had at one point in time visited the World Trade Center, but didn't really know anyone who died there. Although I'm sure that their feelings would be magnified a bit.

The fact that two people managed to survive this crash though is pretty amazing.

I know it shook me up a bit. But it is good that those two survived.

That's definitely a miracle to survive that.
