Exclusive: British woman's incredible escape from doomed Madrid plane - Sunday Mirror
She was sat in Row 6, right at the point where the plane broke in two and that's what saved her life."She was thrown out of the gap where the plane ripped apart and landed in a stream. Because she landed in water she has none of the terrible burns most of the other survivors had."We cannot believe how lucky she is to be alive. It's impossible to describe how difficult that was. Everyone, from the police to the doctors, said it's a miracle that she's alive."She was in a great deal of pain, so they have sedated her with drugs, but to come away from that crash with the injuries she has is just amazing. The doctors are hoping to reduce her medication and slowly bring her round."At first she had a lot of trouble breathing because of her lung injuries. But she's getting better all the time."Kim's mother Luisa said: "All I can say is we're absolutely delighted my daughter is alive."Kim, whose full name is Kim Yvonne Tate Perez, had been on holiday in Bulgaria, where she had previously worked for two years. Her father Harry Tate met and married mum Luisa Perez on the Isle of Wight in 1975. After their children were born they moved to the Canary Islands. Most of the survivors of the crash were seated near Kim. They include the youngest survivor, six-year-old Ricardo Alvarez Carretero, who was seated in 6A.He is expected to be released from hospital shortly after being treated for head injuries.
