NEW YORK — Former “Dancing with the Stars” pro Charlotte Jørgensen recounted surviving the Air Canada flight that killed two pilots when it collided with a truck crossing the LaGuardia runway earlier this month.

The Danish ballroom dancer, 54, on Sunday shared a photo of the mangled Air Canada Express plane, as she commemorated a week since the deadly incident and paid tribute to the “two brave souls” Capt. Antoine Forest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther, who died saving 74 others.

“By now, probably most of you have heard of the collision that happened with a firetruck on the runway. I owe my life to two brave souls Captain Antoine Forest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther — they made the ultimate sacrifice so that we all could live,” wrote Jørgensen. “I am indebted to them and my thoughts are with their families.”

Though Jørgensen “felt nothing” in the immediate aftermath, which she credited to “adrenaline … rushing through my body,” she said she’s been struggling “physically, mentally and emotionally” in the “tough” days since and “will be taking time to heal.”

Jørgensen, who has appeared on 10 episodes of the ABC dancing competition since 2005, thanked her “family” from the show for their “care and concern.”

Passengers previously spoke of having felt the jolt of braking upon landing in Queens, just before a Port Authority fire truck crossed paths with the flight at 11:35 p.m. on March 22, destroying the front of the plane.

Forty-one of the surviving 74 aboard were transported to nearby hospitals, and by Friday, just one flight attendant and four passengers remained hospitalized, according to The New York Times.

Hundreds of delays and cancellations upended the airport in the two days following the collision, whose cause is still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.
