Passenger who survived plane crash speaks to OutFront

A passenger on Sunday night’s fatal plane crash says she is “forever indebted” to the pilots’ quick instincts in trying their best to stop the plane, saying without that effort there could’ve been more deaths.

“I felt like the pilots saved our lives,” Rebecca Liquori told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “They’re the reasons I was able to make it home safe to see my boys, and my heart goes out to their families.”

Liquori, who has two young sons, said seeing them after the crash was like she “won the lotto.”

When the plane made impact, Liquori said she closed her eyes, imagining a world where life with her sons was over.

“In those few seconds I thought, oh my god, I’m never going to see them. I’m never going to get to tickle them. I’m never going to hear their laughs again,” she said.

“I was just very thankful when I opened my eyes,” she added.

She spent most of today avoiding footage of the crash, but seeing it was surreal because it was “just as scary as experiencing it.”

Another passenger, Joe, was seated in an exit row and opened the emergency door for his fellow passengers following the collision.

“I pulled one of the levers down, opened the door, we threw the lever to the side onto the wing and I stepped out on the plane, onto the wing, and that’s when the FDNY and first responders all started to swarm around the airplane,” he told CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins on The Source.

“Those two pilots, I truly believe that whatever they did at the end, whether it was pulling a break or trying to stop or divert at the last moment, they saved everybody on board,” Joe said. “I will be forever grateful to them, and they’re always going to be heroes to me.”
