8:31 am
airplane because it was on autopilot at the time, with the horns going off and the rabid decompression of the cabin, it all happening at once, there was no question that something big was going on right then. >> rachel, describe what was happening in the cabin. how did you keep passengers calm. >> i think we had to take ourselves out of the equation and realize it wasn't about us at this moment and it was all about our passengers. so we went robey row making sure everyone had their oxygen masks on and we grabbed their hands, looked them in the eyes, you're going to be okay, we're going to make it. >> did you really think you were going to be okay? did you really believe that? i know as a passenger the main thing i do is look at the flight attendant's face to see if they look distressed. they always look very calm. did you think everything was going to be okay? >> yes, we had confidence

knowing we were all going to make it. that we have faith and belief in our pilot and we were all going to be safely on the ground and we just kept that confidence the whole way through, let them know. >> tammie jo, when this happens, do you say, i know what it is or how long does it take to figure out what has happened and then how to correct it? >> you know, initially -- and darren was flying -- you treat the symptoms. we obviously had an engine seizure at least and with the rapid depressurization it was pretty obvious there was an explosion as well as the sound. so we treated the symptoms, which was let the aircraft fly. it wasn't wanted to stay on altitude. we descented like it wanted to. we needed obviously a place to land sooner than dallas. darren is actually the one who saw how far away philly was and we agreed it had a long runway
8:33 am
and medical and things like that. really, you treat the symptoms first and then you analyze the problem, so then we started analyzing. obviously had an engine -- the number one engine was out and rabid depressurization. and as we were eventually able to speak with the flight attendants because the only time they can communicate with us in the cockpit is when they're either in the very back or very front. so they waited until -- i believe they waited until they went through the cabin to make sure everything was okay before they called us and then they called us and told us we had some injuries in the back as well. then we have a medical emergency as well to deal with. >> i want to ask you about that is correct tammie jo, because jennifer reeriordan passed iawa. i know you all reached out to her family. tell us about that?
8:34 am
>> you know, the survival never eclipses the loss of one. just a view point looking in, she seemed like a woman with a profile of just being beautiful and in her priorities, she seemed like she didn't wait till it was convenient or easy to love her lord and her family and her community and the way she invested in her work. it just seems like it's still blessing people. i think she left a beautiful legacy. >> she really did. her husband has talked. we've seen the funeral and the children. you're right. as happy as it is that so many survived, all of us can't stop thinking about jennifer riordan. i'm fascinated by that story. when you look at the size of an airplane window, i wouldn't think a human being could get through the window. rachel? >> i think it's awesome we had passengers that could help. >> how is it physically possible she could go out that window, tammie joe, darren?

but i tend to go a little deeper just because people are deeper than the weather. so we spoke about some things that were a little more interesting than just the weather. >> you told me you all talked about your prayer groups. >> well, in laguardia when we had a little extra time we were chatting and rachel had gotten a new bible with room to journal and she and seanique and kathryn said she was doing a study of psalms and darren was already in the cockpit doing work. when you talk about family and faith, the things that matter to you, even if they're different, it tends to bring a bond. >> when tammie jo shared with me, even though you had never
8:37 am
met each other, you talked about it. >> tell me about the passengers and their reaction in helping jennifer riordan, just reacting to this. >> the passengers, i mean our passengers were awesome. their safety was the first pry yortd with us. the way that we all remained calm reflected on the passengers. they seen that in us because they look and seen how we're reacts and the fact that we're all calm, that's what kept the passengers together, working together. our priority was going to each one of them and comforting them. as rachel said, we're going land, we're going to be okay. >> i know they call you unique se seanique. i'm curious. did at some point you feel afraid? >> i did not feel afraid. >> that makes you unique right
8:38 am
there. why were you not afraid? >> it was the peace god had given us. it's a peace that surpasses all understanding. like tammie jo said, we came together beforehand and we all talked about god, and not knowing what was going to happen minutes later, god had already prepared us without us even knowing. >> i want people to really get an understanding of how bad this was because you're saying it's really loud in that cab about. give me an example. there are varying degrees of loud. how loud was it and how did you communicate when it's that loud? you have to really paint a picture. >> for us, we didn't have to communicate verbally with each other because we just had trust and we were able to do what we needed to do. but to communicate with our passengers, we had to have a loud, stern, but caring voice. >> what would you say, rachel?
8:39 am
>> i would grab their hands even if i had to stretch over, i would like into some of their bloodshot eyes and say look at me, we oar going to be okay, we oar going to make it, weer going to philadelphia, and we're here today. and i think that was the most important thing. even though our e.r.a.s had popping from the dee dee compression and there was wind throughout the chaos, in the midst of chaos, you have to look at someone and i think communication was the biggest. >> we're going to keep with that story. the flight of in the face of senseless violence, we need hope.

welcome back with us again. the crew of flight 1380. tammie jo schultz and darren ellisor along with rachel fernjaimer, seanikeu mallory, and kathryn sandoval. >> what else can you tell us? >> despite getting your heart pumping a little bit and i
8:44 am
taught out-of-control flight as well. there's a lot of flight training and going into a-7s and squadrons. >> how many times have you been in a cockpit when this kind of thing has been going on, even in training? >>'ve never been in a cockpit where this was going on, but i have been in cockpits where the dynamics of the flight are not normal and they also make it hard to even see or read the instrumentation. so that certainly helped to kind of keep my calm when this sudden explosion happened, and we are moved in a radical way and we're not a balanced flight. >> was it really shaking. >> yes. >> i saw an interview that said as long as you have an altitude or imagination, you have a shot.
8:45 am
what was the word you used? >> altitude. >> altitude and ideas. darren, what did you do at the time. there's the vibrationing and the pitch. i have no idea what the pitch was. >> 40 degrees of roll. that's when the plane banks. it's about 10 to 15 degrees more than a normal turn would be. but it happened very suddenly and there was a very high level of vibration coming from the engine. so when you factor all that in with the rapid decompression, it was, you know -- i just have to get the wings level, pull the nose up a little bit, let the plane descend. >> that's all you have to do. >> that ooh is what you train for. >> what do you communicate via intercom to the back of the plane? >> initially our job is to get on oxygen to take care of ourselves first, communicate with ourselves, and once we take care of the plane and get the
8:46 am
first initial check list, then our job is to talk to the flight attendants and find out what's going on back there, how are you doing. >> you guys say once you heard philadelphia, that's all you heard, that was good enough for you. you knew where you were going. >> seanique, what's it like getting back up in the air? >> just taking my time. i want to make sure i'm 100% myself before i can pour out to the passengers. that's my job to be there for their safety. i'm just taking care of myself before i get back into the groove of things. >> we saw the video of most of the passengers using the oxygen mask wrong. i know as flight attendants, most of the times flight attendants are not being paid attention to. now you're probably thinking they're listening to us. most passengers did not.
8:47 am
>> it's a difficult situation and no one expected that to happen to them. and so it's difficult. you're shake and putting on a mask and you're just trying to get a good breath of oxygen in you. that was our job too. we walk around and make sure everyone is putting on their masks right and getting oxygen. pay attention. >> pay attention. >> tammie jo, what happened when you landed that plane? i understand you gave every passenger a hug on the way out. one of the things is, boy, if i were a passenger, e'd want to get right off that plane. how did they keep everyone calm inside? >> one of the unsung heros is probably darren in this because he made keeping in contact with the flight attendants his priority. i was flying and talking because initially it was hard for us to communicate as well. we had a little pilot charade going on. >> hand signals, but we just
8:48 am
went ahead and creatively split the cockpit and i flew while he took care of the switchology. there's a lot of different things with the systems that need to be shut down, like the fuel on that engine needed to be shut off and things like that. so he took care of switch, check lists, but he was always available when they called so that he could answer their questions, he could give them information because it's so different when you're in the back and you don't see what's happening, you have no control of what's happening and you have no idea what they're doing or thinking about. they keept them calm so when we landed and i
