Going through a traumatic experience together often helps people form a bond, but for the survivors of US Airways flight 1549, their ties go beyond surviving a landing in New York's Hudson River.
On the new episode of TLC's "NY Ink," several of the passengers on Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's plane gathered together at Ami James' Soho tattoo parlor, Wooster Street Social Club, to get the flight number inked on their flesh and relive the terrifying moments of their 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson" landing together.
"I could see we were getting lower and lower," recalled passenger Matt. "And I'm saying to myself, '(Sully) is going to land this thing in the Hudson.' "
"Several of us turned around to look to see if our body was still in the seat," said fellow passenger Beth. "I mean, that was enough of an experience to say, 'Am I really alive? And I'm just having an out of body experience?' "
See what else they had to say:
"NY Ink" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on TLC.
