HUNTINGTON, Ind. (AP) – An Indiana teenager who survived a horrific parasailing crash in Florida that was captured on home video says she's staying positive despite lingering effects of her injuries.

Seventeen-year-old Alexis Fairchild of Huntington and friend Sidney Good of Roanoke were critically injured last July when a rope tethering them to a boat snapped and strong winds slammed them into a condominium building, a power line and a parked car at Panama City Beach.

Fairchild told the “Today” show Thursday that she remembers almost everything about the crash that left her with broken bones in the upper part of her spine, a skull fracture and a brain injury.

She's undergone multiple surgeries and has to relearn basic tasks such as brushing her teeth. But she says she's keeping a positive outlook.
