Question: has anyone ever survived a fall from an airplane

Answer: Yes, Vesna Vulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Вуловић; pronounced (ˈʋeːsna ˈʋuːlɔʋit͡ɕ); 3 January 1950 -- 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant. She holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). Her fall took place after an explosion tore through the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia. She was the sole survivor of the crash that air safety investigators attributed to a briefcase bomb. The Yugoslav authorities suspected that Croatian nationalists were to blame, but no one was ever arrested.
