"Both sides of the fuselage in Row 14 buckled and the interior panels came apart. Sounded like rivets ripping apart and popping. Pilot says emergency crews are waiting," Wilson wrote on Facebook as the Boeing 757 emergency landing began.
After that, he asked friends to let his wife know he was on the flight and said, "My texts may not have made it to my wife please call her asap 858-XX-XXX."
"Seriously someone please call Allison right now," reiterated Wilson.
As the Boeing 757 emergency landing neared its end, Wilson's friends offered messages of support. After a short pause on the Facebook thread, everyone was relieved since that meant the landing had been a success.
"Landed! !!!!!!," Wilson wrote at 2:30 p.m. California time.
Allison eventually got in touch with Wilson.
Wilson also didn't miss the opportunity to complain about American Airlines' response towards the flight delay due to the Boeing 757 emergency landing.
"They want each and every passenger to call the AA customer service line to organise our own transportation. Tweet away, friends."
The exact cause of the Boeing 757 emergency landing is still left undetermined. Spokesman Ian Gregor of the Federal Aviation Administration said they will be working with the airline to correct the problem before the Boeing flies again. AA eventually sent a different plane to fly the passengers to Dallas on Tuesday.
