Martina,
First of all, glad you are safe. Having been in two situations (engine fire on ground, evacuation down shutes - and later cancelling out of a flight that crashed) - I can tell you that what you are doing - writing and talking about the inicident is the best thing to do!
I receieved several free flight coupons from Continental for my "fire" inicident, and though I did not stop flying I did stop flying on CO and never used them!
