Twitterer relates his experience in Denver plane crash

Tonight on twitter, I saw the announcement that a plane had crashed at Denver International at least 20 minutes prior to any major news outlet covering the story. What was even more amazing, is that one of the passengers was a twitter user who was one degree away, allowing me to easily find and follow him. Here's the story you probably even now won't get on the major news. To read this properly you need to scroll down and read it from bottom to top. Note: This was his second experience crashing in an airliner....

  2drinksbehind: i think we might have gone into a ravine and dropped some distance as there was a sudden bottom-dropped-out feeling and then a jolt

  2drinksbehind: shortly after we veered off, the plane quite obviously left the runway at high speed (maybe 100 kts) and proceeded to go 4 wheel driving

  2drinksbehind: a 1st class passenger I talked to indicated he saw the left engine come off at the time, but it's unclear if this was a cause or an effect

  2drinksbehind: to all who've asked, it's hard to know exactly what went wrong -- we were in the middle of a normal takeoff when we suddely veered off
