hitting the water

Those aboard the jetliner remember a short flight that quickly turned harrowing. There was a loud bang, a smell of smoke in the cabin, and an eerie silence as the engines died away. Then the sickening descent as the plane glided past tall buildings, then smaller buildings and trees before hitting the water.
"I heard the explosion," passenger Dave Sanderson told "Good Morning America." He knew that wasn't good.
"I looked down. I saw the flames coming from underneath the wings, coming back. Once again, I said this is not a good thing," Sanderson said.
Nightmare in a Text Message
Steve Collins was at the gym when he got a four-letter text message that nearly shattered his world: "My plane is crashing." Those four words were the only ones his wife Vallie had time to send -- not even enough time for "I love you."
