The survivor of a skydiving airplane crash has broken his silence following the terrifying June 8 incident. Justin Fuller Spidey, a skydiving instructor who was one of 20 people aboard the ill-fated plane, posted to Facebook just hours after the crash.

“I just wanted to make a post and reach out to everyone and let y’all know I’m okay,” Spidey wrote, adding that he was “lucky” and “blessed” to have walked away from the crash relatively unscathed. “Thank you to everyone who reached out and showed love, I appreciate it. I got lucky and came out without a scratch…I’m extremely blessed to have such an amazing support group on my side, y’all rock!”

Spidey added that four of the passengers are still in the hospital, including the pilot who “has the longest road to recovery.” “Today is the day the healing starts. And keep our pilot at the top of the list. He saved everyone on board and has the longest road to recovery out of all of us. Yesterday was a day I won’t soon forget,” he said, asking his followers for prayers.

The plane crashed shortly after it took off from Tullahoma Regional Airport around 12:30 p.m. local time on Sunday. Lyle Russell, a spokesperson for the city of Tullahoma, told People that "there were no casualties" amongst the 20 people on board, though some did suffer “minor injuries." He added that several people were airlifted to hospitals, with one still in “critical condition” as of Monday morning.
