. I'm sitting here tonight (at work) Then, I was thinking about Flight 401 and what those survivors went through, too. They were there for what seemed an eternity clinging to hope, to each other, while the trechurous rescue took place. Would I be as strong as they if it had been me? I hope that I would, but I don't know. Same with Flight 90. They were in that freezing water, hypothermic, too cold to move their hands and fingers. Yet, they clung to hope, survived. I don't know if I could have hung on that long.
and came in from a nasty snow storm and nasty cold weather. I was thinking about how as cold as it is tonight, I was dressed for it and I wasn't murky water, swimming for my life. I was thinking of how horrible it would've been for those precious survivors out there, cold, wet, shocked, frightened. I am an EMT and today I was thinking about Florida Flight 90, into the Potomac River. I've been tot he Potomac River in the summertime. But, I was thinking would I selflessly dive into frigid water to help survivors. My training tells me no, I would wait for proper gear, proper rescuers. That, and I'm a lousy swimmer. My heart says yes, maybe I would.
