He said the three survivors – a young man and woman and the pilot, thought to be in his 40s – were in “total shock”.The pilot then put out his hands and I heaved him outJoel, who served with the Army for 15 years, said his only thought as he ran towards the “inferno” was fearing if “anyone was going to be alive”.
