I am only sharing this information knowing very well that it might be already available on the inetrnet somewhere. This was e-mailed to me a few days ago and I couldn't just delete it as trash. These are some hair-raising anecdotes narrated by non other than the survivors themselves. Have a look!

1. Vesna Vulovic: The Stewardess who survived a terrorist attack at 33,000 feet

. A Yugoslav Airlines DC-9 departed from Copenhagen for Belgrade (via Zagreb) with 28 passengers and crew on January 26, 1972 . When the plane reached at an altitude of 33,000 feet, a bomb in the cargo section, planted by the Ustashe Croatian separatist group, exploded. The plane blew up, disintegrated and crashed in the mountains.In what must be one of the greatest survival stories of all time, stewardess Vesna Vulovic survived the 33,000 feet descent sitting on the tail of the plane.

As she later stated in an interview, 22 year old Vulovic wasn't even supposed to be on that plane. it was another Vesna who was supposed to be on that flight, but she was happy with the mix-up as it allowed her to make her first trip to Denmark. She ended up with a fractured skull, two broken legs, and three broken vertebrae - one of which was crushed and left her paralyzed from the waist down.Vulovic spent several months in and out of hospitals; operations allowed her to walk again. She became a celebrity when the Guinness Book of World Records invited her to a ceremony in London with Paul McCartney. She is listed for surviving the longest fall without a parachute. Vulovic is now a national hero in Serbia and spent the late 90s marching in Belgrade against Slobodan Milosovic.
