Mumbai: Jet Airways crew member Nidhi Chaphekar , who became the global face of the Brussels terror attack on March 22, said she would like to pen down her experience in the near future. "I was conscious for around one hour and 40 minutes after the airport blast before being rushed for treatment. I saw everything around me in that period. I was an eyewitness to the terror attack," Chaphekar (42) told TOI on Tuesday. She returned from Brussels to Mumbai a month ago.
"I want to share my experience on what I went through during the blasts and how I recovered from my prolonged sleep in the hospital," said the mother of two. Chaphekar said she is recovering well at her sister's house in Andheri. "I have a few more surgeries to go. The leg is still a problem, but I am doing fine. I am happy to be back here."
Chaphekar said she would share her experience at a suitable time after consulting her superiors. She has been working with the airline since August 1996 and was the senior crew member in the flight that was heading to Mumbai on March 22. She was treated for burns at Grande Hospital de Charleroi in Belgium for over a month.
The Chaphekars are still inundated with calls from global media houses keen on featuring her story. She became the face of the Brussels terror attack after her image covered in blood and torn clothes was circulated in the media.
