00:00 Hi. Hello, sir.
00:03 Hello, sir.
00:13 I think the entire thing happened within the span of less than 10 seconds.
00:23 It was really, really quick.
00:25 Which is why I think nobody could really respond to it.
00:30 In my recollection of what happened, I was in my chair and I think I was resting at that point, but I was belted in.
00:38 And you could start feeling that the airplane was entering some kind of turbulence.
00:45 So the plane started shaking.
00:47 And at that point, I just know that, okay, well, I'm just going to huddle in.
00:51 But it kept getting worse and worse and worse.
00:54 And honestly, I don't think for most people who weren't prepared, they wouldn't really have time to really react and do something about it.
01:04 Because if I remember correctly, I think the seatbelt signs were off.
01:08 There were people within the lavatories and the crew that were working.
01:13 Anybody who were standing, especially the people within the lavatories, were the most injured from what I've seen.
01:23 But I saw people from across the aisle just going completely horizontal, hitting the ceiling and landing back down in really awkward positions.
01:35 People getting massive gashes in their head, concussions.
01:40 So it's quite a sight, I think.
01:44 It happened that the seatbelt signs were not on.
01:48 Because I didn't hear any kind of tone that usually goes on at that place in the intercom when the seatbelt sign goes on.
01:57 As well as no announcement from the pilot necessarily.
02:01 I think the pilot was really just trying to deal with the situation before he could even really tell everybody within the plane to brace or hold on or to buckle in.
02:12 So you really just have to work with your instincts.
02:16 I knew there was a lady behind me, I think from New Zealand, who was unbuckled.
02:21 But she really, really quickly buckled in the people who didn't respond or were sleeping with the ones that unfortunately really suffered a lot from the incident.
02:32 And honestly, I didn't understand at all the full scale of what happened until we landed.
02:38 But really, in reality, I have to practically keep flying.
02:46 So it's just something you just stuck up.
02:49 But maybe I might feel not so good in the future.
02:53 But things like this usually take some time to process.
02:56 And I'm still beginning to process it.
