Vesna Vulovic, a Yougoslavian air stewardess. She was thrown out of an exploding DC9 at 10000 meters altitude in 1972. The plane was on route from Stockholm to Belgrad when it exploded midair. She fell 10 000 metres without a parashute and survived with a number of broken bones. She i credited as the survivor of the worlds highest fall from an aircraft. Dying at the age of 66 might be to early but one could also say that she had lived 44 years on overtime.

Wow. She rode the plane's tail down and survived the crash.

 

"She holds the world record, according to the Guinness Book of Records, for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 meters (33,333 feet).

 

"NOTE: It was never proved that the plane was torn apart by a bomb. In January 2009, German ARD radio Prague office research and Czech journalist Pavel Theiner proposed a conspiracy theory that the plane was shot by accident by the Czechoslovak air force."
