Sole survivor of Northwest 255 crash breaks silence
DETROIT (AP) — Cecelia Crocker's body provides her with a constant reminder of the most traumatic event of her life — one that she doesn't otherwise remember.
At only 4 years old, Crocker was the lone survivor of a 1987 plane crash that killed 154 people aboard and two on the ground near Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
In the new documentary, "Sole Survivor," Crocker breaks her silence, discussing how the crash of the Phoenix-bound jetliner has affected her.
"I think about the accident every day. It's kind of hard not to think about it when I look in the mirror," she said. "I have visual scars. My arms and my legs. And I have a scar on my forehead."
Crocker, 30, also sports an airplane tattoo on her left wrist.
"I got this tattoo as a reminder of where I've come from. I see it as — so many scars were put on my body against my will — and I decided to put this on my body for myself," she says in the film.

I have a co-worker who was one of 30something survivors from a crash in the black forest in Moscow. He says all he thought about during the crash was his son who was a toddler - then the aircraft broke and he and others walked and jumped out and ran away from the wreckage.
he also survived a major heart attack four years ago. Now he has two grandkids
