| #5 Anon1: My understanding is that she was still attached to her seat and fell through pine canopy. The breaking branches absorbing the energy of the fall. I may have one of the other 3 women who fell over 25k ft without parachutes and survived in my mind tho. Wrechard wrote an article about them at Belmont Club a couple months back. |

| #3 Lucky she was on JAT. Had it been DELTA, she'd still have been liable for half the fare. |

| #1 The woman who survived a 33,000 ft fall from an airplane explosion. On January 16, 1972 Serbian flight attendent Vesna Vulovic was on board JAT Flight 367, 33,000 feet high, when an explosion tore the plane apart. It took three minutes for the wreckage to hit the ground. She was found alive, but with serious injuries: a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae and two broken legs. Vesna was in a coma for 3 days. The first thing she did when she woke up to see the stunned faces of her parents was to ask for a cigarette. Vesna holds the Guiness World Record for the longest fall without a parachute. |
