00:17Survivors of Monday's terrifying plane crash say they are still in disbelief.

00:23It hits you, I'm in a plane crash. I'm in an actual plane crash.

00:30When the plane stopped, passenger Matt Cunningham sent his family a simple message.

00:34Plane crash, please pray.

00:36Talking to my dad today, he said those 15 minutes from the time he got that text

00:41until he got the next one with some photos that I took away from the plane were 15 tough minutes.

00:56Canada's Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday the plane's black box flight recorders

01:00were sent to a lab for analysis.

01:03The crew on board the plane, our Endeavour crew, performed heroically,

01:07but also as expected. This is what we train for.

01:10In an exclusive interview with CBS Mornings Wednesday, the CEO of Delta Airlines said

01:15the flight crew was experienced.

01:17All these pilots train for these conditions. They fly under all kinds of conditions

01:23at all the airports in which we operate.

01:25As for Cunningham, after waiting at the airport for hours,

01:28he rented a car and started driving back to his family outside Minneapolis.

01:33What's the first thing you're going to say to your family?

01:37Nothing. I'm just going to hold them.

01:39And Cunningham reunited with his family late last night.

01:42He says that his kids made him a welcome home cake.

01:46Officials are still investigating the cause of the crash,

01:49but they do say that communications between the pilots and the airport tower

01:53appeared to be normal as the plane approached.
