how can you open a door at 23000 ft? I thought that was impossible. Or is just jets that have the plug type doors? I'd think there'd be some sort of safety for this.
The real question here is why would you want to jump out of a King Air at 23000ft?? :wink:

He could have gotten lucky though:
In 1972 a JAT DC-9 crashed after the detonation of a bomb in the forward cargo hold. A flight attendant, 22 year old Vesna Vulovic, fell 33,330 feet in the tail section and although she broke both legs and was paralyzed from the waist down, survived. She was in a coma for 27 days and it took 16 months for her to recover.
Yes, but this occurred above the timberline.How bizarre. Darwin's theory at work, I guess.
I would love to hear the audio on this one.
Man at his wits end. Reasonable recreation of said transmission.
My guess is that he was suitably 'primed' for the journey and didn't know what he was doing.I'm in agreement with you there.
