originated. casey? >> reporter: jenna, can you imagine? flight 165 just left dfw airport headed to atlanta. it was a eight 319 packed with 150 people. something went terribly wrong. a passenger on the plane using his smartphone as you see here to record the hazy, smoke-filled cabin. passengers on board the jet, people were texting their loved ones trying to make calls because they were sure they were not going to make it back to the ground safely. after you hear what they experienced. listen. >> and then probably, maybe, three or four minutes later, this huge explosion goes, bam. we saw the flames come up the side of the plane which lit up the whole inside of the plane. it looked like the inside of the plane was on fire. of course it was on the outside engine. the plane started shaking violently. after that the plane started filling up with smoke.
