In 1972, 23-year-old Vesna Vulović, a flight attendant for Yugoslav Airlines, was on board when a mid-air explosion tore the plane apart at an altitude of 10,160 meters. All passengers and the rest of the crew lost their lives. She was the sole survivor after a fall of over 6 miles without any protective gear. Her survival came from a series of rare coincidences: she was pinned by a food cart in the rear of the aircraft, which remained relatively intact and acted as a kind of "protective capsule" during the fall. The wreckage landed on a forested, snow-covered mountain slope, significantly cushioning the fatal impact. But that wasn't all—her body also played a key role. Doctors discovered she had low blood pressure, which caused her to lose consciousness immediately after the cabin decompression. This may have saved her heart from the extreme stress of the fall. Although she suffered a fractured skull, broken legs, and temporary paralysis, her recovery was remarkable. Within 10 months, she was able to walk again. Today, her fall from 10,160 meters remains the world record for surviving the greatest height without a parachute—a story that defies all logic.
