A new video has been released that shows the moments before, during and after two airboats collided in the Everglades. A TikTok made by a person on one of the airboats shows the crash. RELATED: 16 transported after 2 airboats crash in Collier County “Everyone was excited to go and then, you know, now, the tragic accident,” said Alssya Windom. “We were never expecting anything like that to occur.” Windom, who is seven months pregnant, was aboard one of the boats. “We come around a steep curve, and at that moment we see another boat coming around that curve as well,” said Windom. “By the time we seen it, that was the last thing I remember, is seeing the boat and then waking up, and I’m hanging my back is hanging over the railing of the boat.” Windom told WINK that the crash happened after being out on the water for about 15 minutes. She said she saw another boat coming towards them at full speed and knew they were going to crash. “it was like a movie, something you see in a movie,” said Windom. “our boat, got turned around from the way we were coming from, and that other boat was like on top of our boat.” In the video, you can see a part of an airboat crushed and someone helping a man from one airboat to another. A woman and a man giving CPR to someone on the boat can also be seen in the video. Windom and her 7-year-old son Angel were two of the 33 people who were part of the crash. “I remember the boat on top of the fuss and people falling in the water stuff,” said Angel. “We realized there was another woman in the water, but our first response was the kids. And then we realized one of the adults are missing, and she was kind of knocked out, just floating a little bit under the boat in the water,” said Windom. “She wasn’t breathing. We got to start CPR on her. When they were taken back to shore, Windom was rushed away from her son. “I was immediately airlifted to the hospital,” said Windom. “I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know who he’s with. I don’t have a phone. My phone was lost in the wreckage.” At 7 months pregnant, Windom’s tailbone is broken but her baby is okay. Now, she hopes more precautions are taken for future visitors looking to explore the Everglades. “If they do continue operating, [I hope] that they really take the safety of their customers into consideration,” said Windom. “I don’t think anyone else should have to experience what we went through.” According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. 24 people were injured in the crash. Sixteen people, including Windom, were taken to the hospital.
