While the tragedy claimed three lives, one of which was a teenage girl run over by a fire truck after initially surviving the wreck, she says that the response by emergency workers was phenomenal and that it's a situation not many will see in their entire careers.

Note: this interview takes place before last week's NTSB hearings where it was revealed that the teenager was run over by two emergency vehicles that day on the runway.
