His horror theft travels the world: the video of the unsecured flight of American tourist Chris Gursky in the Delta at Interlaken BE has already been clicked on Youtube more than 1.2 million times. Reports on incredible images in the world.

Now, Chris Gursky commented on his experience for the first time. He gave a video interview of his Florida home on ABC's "Good Morning America" ​​show, describing these moments of anxiety.

"I just tried to hold on and stay calm to stay alive," says Gursky. As the delta sailor moved further and further off the ground, he lowered his eyes. "I thought it was that, I'm going to collapse to death, I'm a dead man."

The longer the flight lasted, the more he lost his strength. "My grip was weakened, my hand started to open, I slipped and I could barely hold the pilot's pants."

After 2 minutes and 14 seconds, the emergency landing took place. However, Gursky had a fractured right wrist. This had to be secured with a titanium plate and seven screws. He also tore a left bicep tendon. The American was operated on at the hospital and was able to leave the next afternoon. (EPC)
