Today on "Good Morning America" the Collins recounted their harrowing tale of terror for Vallie inside the plane and for Steve as he watched helplessly as events unfolded.
"I wanted him to know I was thinking of him and the kids if that was my last thought," Vallie said. "I didn't want this time of ambiguity of 'Was she on it? Was she not?'"
After Steve got the message, he said his heart stopped.
"[It was] an almost out of body experience not knowing whether she's alive or hurt or dead... Then she calls, she's borrowing a Port Authority person's phone. Then it was great," he said.
During that time of terrifying silence before her call, Vallie said she did what she could to help another mother after water started pouring into the back of the plane where she was sitting and got the little girl off the plane.
