A Husband’s Heartbreaking Last Exchange with His Wife
For Hamaad Raza, the past 24 hours have been a living nightmare.
His wife was on Flight 5342, heading home to Washington, D.C. Before the crash, she sent him one final message:
“Landing in 20 minutes.”
Those were the last words he would ever receive from her.
“I kept texting her back, but my messages didn’t go through,” Raza told WUSA9, his voice breaking. “That’s when I knew something was wrong.”
He now clings to a single hope—that somewhere in the icy waters, rescuers will find her alive.
“I’m just praying that someone is pulling her out of the river right now as we speak,” he said. “That’s all I can pray for.”
