Mike Wilson, a passenger, described the chaos on messages posted to the internet site Twitter.com on his cell phone. "By the time the plane stopped we were burning pretty well and I think I could feel the heat even through the bulkhead and window," he wrote.
"I made for the exit door as quickly as I could, fearing the right wing might explode from the fire. Once out, I scrambled down the wing."
Gabriel Trejos told KUSA-TV in Denver that the plane buckled toward its middle and that the seats felt like they were closing in on him, his pregnant wife and his 13-month-old son, who was on his lap. His knees were bruised from the seat in front of him. Maria Trejos told KUSA that there was an explosion and that the right side of the plane, where they were sitting, became engulfed in flames. The family used an emergency exit and slid down the wing of the jet to the ground.
