00:00Devin, it's one of those things we've got to see what they, what they determine caused
00:07the crash, right?
00:10They obviously have a responsibility, right?
00:14And I don't know the laws.
00:16I don't know how these things work, right?
00:18So that's why I seek, you know, advice from an attorney that can advise me as I navigate
00:25this process.
00:26I have received the communication regarding the $30,000.
00:30I have forwarded it to my attorney for review to understand what it is, what it means, you
00:35know, et cetera.
00:37As far as is it fair, you know, I haven't slept in days.
00:45You know, the emotional stress, I just, I almost can't explain it.
00:53Is my mental health worth $30,000?
00:57Can you put a price tag on that?
00:58I don't, I don't have, I can't answer that as a final compensation.
01:04I don't, I couldn't see that being anywhere near for what we, I can't see me flying again.
01:14I just, you know, obviously it's really close to this major traumatic event.
01:21I can't envision me sitting on the foot on the plane for a very long time, if ever.
01:27So once they got us back to the terminal, they were giving us our information, I developed
01:32a very bad headache.
01:33My neck was hurt, my back was hurt.
01:36And so I requested to be, to seek medical attention.
01:41You know, we entrust our lives to these people, right?
01:46When you said, you buy your ticket and you sit on the plane, you're putting your lives
01:50in their hands.
01:51And, you know, they came really close Monday of taking 80 people's lives.
