Over the years, Oprah says she's met many survivors of near-death experiences, but she will always remember a man named John Diaz.
John was a passenger aboard Singapore Airlines Flight 006 when it crashed in October 2000. No one imagined there would be survivors, but John lived to tell his story. "There was all this spray of jet fuel, which was like napalm, and whatever it hit...ignited like a torch," he told Oprah in 2007. "It looked like a Dante's Inferno with people strapped in to their seats and just burning. It seemed to look like an aura was leaving their bodies and some [were] brighter than others."
After witnessing this horrific scene, John says he walked away with a new sense of spirituality. "I believe life continues on," he said. "I thought, you know, the brightness and dimness of the auras were how one lives one's life, so to speak. I want to live my life so my aura, when it leaves, is very bright."
