NAPLES, Fla., Mar. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Sunday's crash of a single-engine turboprop plane in Montana killed 14 people -- half of them children. With a number of plane crashes in recent months, including the February 12th crash of a Continental Airlines commuter plane that killed 50 and January's "Miracle on the Hudson" in which all 155 people survived, this common fear is at the forefront of people's minds. The horror of such an event is unimaginable, but author and speaker Tamra Nashman knows firsthand what it is like to survive a plane crash.

Nashman survived one of the worst small plane crashes in FAA history. She can explain to your audience what it feels like to experience a plane crash, how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects every aspect of life following such a terrifying event, and how people can recover from such unbelievable trauma.
