A passenger on American Airlines 5432 shares his close call after a tragic mid-air incident involving another flight
Washington DC: A TikTok user shared a scary experience on a recent flight. James Moyer was on American Airlines, traveling from Charlotte to DC. His flight was delayed due to high winds.
After landing, he learned that the man next to him had a daughter on a different flight that tragically crashed. Moyer posted a video on TikTok, expressing his condolences for those affected.
He explained that they were supposed to land at 8:55 PM. Instead, they circled DC before being diverted to Dulles Airport. Moyer noticed people murmuring as the captain announced an incident involving a helicopter.
He shared that they didn’t have enough fuel to keep circling. They landed about 15 minutes later. By then, passengers realized something serious had happened with another flight.
The man next to Moyer had a daughter who worked as a flight attendant. She was on the ill-fated flight from Wichita. Moyer felt he was close to a disaster, as the incident occurred just two minutes before their scheduled landing.
He expressed gratitude for his safety and hoped for survivors. Moyer ended his video with prayers for everyone on the flight and their families.
