Have to disagree with you on this, the principle that she fell over 33,000 feet is still valid, albeit she had a plane around her instead of just falling from the sky. She was still ‘falling’ regardless of how you look at it.

@@S4RG3N7 She did not fall from 33K ft, the aircraft did. She happened to be in it and subject to the laws of physics acting on the aircraft she was attached to. If at any time she was not attached to the aircraft, She would have been subject to her own forces until she came into contact with the aircraft again. This is an issue of physics and relative motion Your understanding of both is flawed.

Me too. In elementary school we read a story called something like "The Girl Who Fell Six Miles and Lived." Hard to imagine.

Both stories are chilling, and to think both injured/ affected crew members survived is just amazing. Thanks TFC, another great recounting!

Both flights were a miracle. The first one although the only survivor you still wonder how the hell she lived through a fall from that height, the second one was a fantastic feat of piloting skill, the Captain earned every single cent of his reward.

Two captivating stories. TFC, you are amazing! Hope you're enjoying some time off this holiday season.

When I was a kid in the 80s a baby fell 8-9 stories(over 120 feet since a storey is like 14 feet or something)from a balcony in my town and the baby didn't even break a bone. Which is Later on her and my younger sister became friends and she was in my sister's wedding 2 summers ago.

It is a story and a miracle that the poor baby survived all glory to God . No need to be so rigid here , the dear lady and baby both fell from a height and survived and you are only concerned about it's relevance here?

Soglad to see you covering these flight stories here on your channel. Very fascinating. So happy to see your tremendous growth as well. I'm a longer term sub and remember back when you were like 50k subs. No one deserves it more! The hard work that goes into the making of these really is very very apparent! Thanks for your dedication, as well as always compassion and respect to those whove passed on as well as their families!

I am a huge fan of your channel and am grateful for all of your work in putting these videos together. Just a very small criticism, I think English might not be your first language, so for future reference, the verb “to perish” is only used when someone loses their life in a sudden or a violent way. In that this lady miraculously survived this accident, I think it is doubly inappropriate to use this word in describing her natural death many years later!

I love that image of Captain Liu Chuanjian. That smirk of confidence, professionalism, daring, and coolness under pressure. He's the real life Ice Man.

TFC is my favorite channel for aircraft disasters mainly because of the absence of narration. However, in the first story, mention of an annoyed man was made, but in the end, there were no theories as to how a bomb was taken onboard nor if he was suspected of being involved. Other than that, we were presented with two amazing stories. I was not surprised that Vesna was left with no memory of her great fall as I was involved in a near-fatal car accident and have no memory of it. I was relieved that her paralysis was only temporary. I am sure the co-pilot will fully recover from his injuries, but worry about the damage to his right eye as no details about it were given.

Not a problem reading. Sometimes better than voiceover. Just me. 👍

The second story reminds me of the MayDay episode about the (British?) pilot actually sucked out thru the windshield and barely help in place by the pilot and/or engineer until safely landing. He had injuries from the relentless buffeting but survived what would have otherwise been certain death. In that instance, the windshield departure was determined to be maintenance using one size too small bolts when replacing the windshield, as well as a design in which bolts were the only thing resisting cabin pressure.

What an amazing channel, and fantastic content that you have created! I'm now a subscriber. Happy New Year 😁

If I recall...she landed in a swampy area that would help "soften" the blow greatly. It is still such a small chance of survival but she did it.

Falls like that will always cause serious injury but sometimes luck saves people.

Plot twist : Vesna planted the suitcase in a suicidal mission

In the words of commander data, "correction, sir that's blown out.."

When I saw the second incident portrayed on Air Disasters last year, I thought with all he had to overcome with hypothermia and hypoxia to boot, he deserved an award, which the show never mentioned. I wonder if it was because it was a monetary one.

Falling from 33,000 feet and plane going down from 33,000 feet are two completely different stories! The plane had air going inore like a parachute skiing the impact

There have been many rumors that the JAT airplane had been hit by mistake by the then Czechoslovakia Defense System projectile at several hundred meters height, but the communist governments of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia agreed to blame anonymous terrorists as the cause of the fall. The rear part of the plane with Mrs Vulovic has been gliding down the snowy mountain which was lowering collision impact force to the ground.

She was fully oxygenated at the beginning of the incident and started to descend towards a sustainable level of oxygen at rapid pace….moreover you don’t pass out and die at 30K feet immediately…hypoxia is subtle at first.
