A SYDENHAM woman is counting her blessings after being one of two passengers to survive a plane crash in the US last week.
Kimberley Dear, 21, was on her first skydiving trip when the plane crashed only minutes after take-off.
The six other passengers died instantly.
Ms Dear said she survived the because her skydiving instructor clipped her body to his.
He died shortly after the plane crashed.
Ms Dear’s fiance and her parents flew to St Louis to be with her.
They found her in a critical condition, with her back broken in several places.
