"It was like being in a washer,"
"When we finally came to a stop ... we were upside down, there was jet fuel smell. There was fire."
"There isn't a day that goes by that somehow it doesn't come up or impact my life in some way, you know, everything from my job to my family, to my health,"
"It's just been a very eventful year."
