Needum says his 8 and 5-year-old are back in school today. They are "shaken," but "very strong."
Needum says he believes the seatbelt sign was on and that he's "no different from any other firefighters."
Needum and another passenger, Tim McGinty, worked together to try to save the mom of two who was sucked out of the Southwest flight. They pulled her back in, but she couldn't be revived. Jennifer Riordan died from her injuries. https://usat.ly/2qGHQ9X (Photo: K. McGinty)pic.twitter.com/HjgE9Bmq6S
