"Iguazu takes her final breath"

"We weren't sure about what we were looking at. It was as if we were watching our Titanic gently descending below the horizon; the crew had started to use the emergency slides as makeshift lifeboats, and curiously enough, the slide i climbed into during her plunge was the first to be detached from the jumbo jet, so as to avoid the slide being dragged with the 747 sinking right before our eyes with a significant list to port. At a distance, while we rowed with whatever utensils we had, we saw her tail pointing up to 15-20 or so degrees up in the air before her lights slowly cut off; the middle of the jumbo jet suddently buckled and split apart in a loud chant of metallic whirring and screams emanating from the dozens of passengers that refused to board the emergency slides. The people on the first detached slide, including myself, faintly saw her right wing dropping and impacting the water like a heavy anvil, holding onto the crippled 747's fuselage for it's dear life. The front section slowly succumbed and dropped below the waterline while also dragging the damaged right wing to the bottom of the ocean. The now severed tail-back section kept it's buoyancy for 15 minutes or so; after that, just like her severed twin, she buckled and slid below the waterline. The left wing was completely severed from the fuselage, along with one of it's engines; from what we saw, both were used as a form of makeshift life rafts until help arrived. I slowly lost sight of whatever was in the ditching area, and we were soon plunged into total darkness; only the faint light of the dozens of stars above us served as some form of illumination while we rowed. It was getting colder and colder, and it felt as if we would eventually succumb to hypothermia; we huddled up with whatever we had to keep us warm and tried to rest through the pitch black darkness. Some passengers from outside were hanging on the sides of the slides for their lives, as our makeshift lifeboat was occupied up until the last centimeter. Those passengers never got to see the rescue ships as they gave up to the extreme hypothermia in a matter of minutes. It was our disaster."
