Yeah, I was a frequenter of r/watchpeopledie when it was still a thing and consider that audio right up there with the videos from there that would stick with you.

It's worse than the 9/11 call from the guy above the impact site

Tap for descriptionthat includes the start of the collapse, because while we the listeners knew he and everyone else he was with was about to die, they didn't know that for sure and still had hope they might get out of that alive.

You can tell that while there's a bit of denial remaining, she knows it's over and she's panicking from the very start of the event. At first she says they were dropping at 10k feet per minute, then she says 20k feet per minute and I think that's when she went from scared of potential death to scared of certain death.

The video is nothing compared to how real the audio makes it feel. Like you can imagine how it might have been but the audio makes it much more vivid than that three frames of plane followed by a dust cloud and explosion do.
