There is a lot to be said for trusting a gut feeling, but if the premonition comes just before your plane is about to take off, there isn't much you can do. A woman who survived the recent plane crash in Honduras spoke of how she knew something was amiss before the wheels left the tarmac.

Speaking out on her social media, the plane crash survivor said that she knew things were not right before the plane even took flight. "I also want to make it clear that the plane was already having problems before it even took off," she told her followers.
It's always nerve-wracking to hear of delays before a flight, and it puts Liliana Estrada on edge. "The plane was leaving at 5:40 pm, and they told us they were going to be 25 minutes late, which wasn't the case. It was more than 25 minutes late."
"They didn't explain why," she went on to say. "They simply told us it was a delay and put us on the plane, knowing full well the odds that we wouldn't make it." Eventually, she boarded the plane. It barely made it off the runway before it came crashing back down, killing 12 passengers.
Estrada had texted her boyfriend only two minutes before the fatal crash. "The plane started to skid. I texted him maybe a minute and a half after it happened. Before we took off, when the plane was skidding, I texted him that I loved him and that something was happening. And that was the last thing I was able to talk to him about."
She was then knocked unconscious. She was one of only five passengers that survived the Honduras plane crash.
Plane Crash Survivor Demands Justice
Her premonition came too late to save the other passengers on board the plane crash in Honduras. She knew something was wrong. She suspects the crew knew also. However, they still took the risk, and she believes they should be held accountable.
"I think it's time for us all to speak out and demand justice. And, that if there are those responsible, those responsible be held accountable," she said on social media. "Because up until now, up until today, as I'm speaking to you, no one, no one has come forward to take responsibility for anything at all." She is thankful she survived. However, she believes that there should be some responsibility taken.
The airline said it would cover some costs for the victims. These include medical and funeral expenses. But, she believes that the plane was already known to be faulty before the crash. Her premonition was more than just a hunch.
