This story, as with most things these days, is about a video that went viral online. Nathan Williams, the survivor of a plane crash in central Idaho last month, posted this seven-minute video documenting the crash and the aftermath.

The video was posted for his friends and family and he was surprised to see it elicit so much response. You can see, the comments on his YouTube page range from shock to a debate over how the pilot handled things. I loved what Williams had to say when he explained that he understood why people were so intrigued.

“You see how fast something happens, something that’s life-threatening,” Williams said. “That’s kind of people’s worst fears and it kind of came true for us, in a way.”
