"You are one of the 155 passengers on board US Airways Airbus A320. It's Thursday afternoon and your plane in pulling out onto the runway at LaGuardia Airport."

Once I boarded the plane, I put away my things and tried to relax, because I am terrified of heights. So I put on my head phones, closed my eyes and laid back. The Captain announced lift off, so I took a very deep breath and shut my eyes tight. Right after lift off we were running smooth. About 5 or so minutes later we were flying right over the Hudson River. I had to look out the window adjacent to me to see the beautiful view. For some reason it looked like we were flying rather low. I recognized a few geese below but i thought nothing of them until a thundering roar from behind. And immediately after the Captain announced, "Brace for impact because we're going down." My heart dropped, I froze for a second then right away I started to pray. We started to go faster and faster towards the water, the hit was so intense. People around me started to grab some of their belongings, some were screaming like it was the end. We started to sink very slowly, but surely. A lot of people, including myself grabbed life jackets from the plane crew and went out onto the wings of the plane. About thirty minutes of waiting help finally came, and gladly to say, everyone on the plane was rescued.
