I just got done watching a show on the National Geographic Channel called ''I Fell From The Sky'' which featured a plane crash back in 1972 about a Yugoslav DC-9 flying at 33,000 ft at about an hour into the flight a terrorist bomb exploded in the front and blew off the Cockpit and the DC-9 spinned out of control down to the earth and killed everyone on board except a Flight Attendant who actually survived the 8 minute plunge to earth.

How'd she survive??

The explosion blew her into the tail section which was the only part of the plane to survive intact because when it landed it hit a mountain slope at an angle and slid to a stop where everyone else slammed directly into the earth. Still incredible that a human could survive that from over 30,000 ft.

Here's the Wiki account of it.

It is amazing that she survived, even though the likelyhood of something like that happening is one in one million.

The rear section of any aircraft is where they place the instruments for the flight data and CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) recorders, and the only reason they do not get demolished is because they're enclosed in a material that can survive a typical impact and the subsequent fire in a crash.

Yeah it mentioned a couple of other situations that had to happen that saved her like the food tray also blasted back onto her and pinned her in there so she didn't fling out of it when it hit the ground and also the temp was 6 degrees F as the freezing temps lowered her body temp to slow her metabolism which actually stablized her until she made it to the hospital......but i agree about the odds as something was looking out for her as that just seems impossible for any human to survive that crash.

It was an interesting show thats for sure......

I'm glad one of the people survived, but it's also unfortunate many precious lives were lost, and it's hard to believe that somebody would put a bomb on a commercial airliner, and kill innocent people just to convey a message of some sort, just like the terrorists who perpetrated the September 11th 2001 attrocities.

If you havent seen 'Loose Change' you have no idea. Im one of the many, many who knew from that moment there was more to it than that, you know how you just 'feel' something? "Loose Change II" is even more interesting.

I read something about the movie, but I've never seen it. It is some sort of a documentary that suggests the possibility of the September 11th attacks were planned by the US Government, which in my opinion is proposterous. I know there were many mistakes made that allowed the terrorists to hijack 4 commercial airliners and crash them into buildings, but I disagree with the suggestion of a conspiracy by the US Government. I know the government does hide a lot of things from us, but I don't think they'd go as far as destroying the WTC towers, damaging the Pentagon, and crashing a Boeing 757 in the wilderness of Pennsylvania, which was destined to be crashed at another building in Washington, DC.

O.K. i see what your saying about that. One thing about the conspiracy theory is that although i know that Sec of Defense Rumsfeld was on the other side of the Pentagon where the plane crashed he still could have been taken out if the Plane hit from another angle that day.

Just my observation of that part of the 9/11 conspiracy.
