Bahia Bakari's mother was among 152 people who died on the flight operated by Yemen Airways, which is now known as Yemenia.
"We were landing, I started to feel some turbulence but people didn't seem worried about it. Then I felt an electrical shock and I woke up in the water. I don't remember what happened between sitting in the plane and being in the water. I have a black hole," Bakari said. After the plane plunged into the ocean, she grasped a floating part of the destroyed plane and stayed in the water for 11 hours before being saved by fishermen.
The young woman, who now works in real estate, has two younger siblings and relied mostly on her father who helped her deal with the trauma. She didn't seek therapy after leaving the hospital.Bakari said she is "doing much better now," and resumed flying two years after the crash. She said she doesn't suffer traumatic flashbacks, but she isn't at ease in the water.
She co-wrote a book "Bahia, the Miracle Girl," and told the court she did it for the victim's' relatives, to "leave them something to hold on to."
