A woman named Vesna Vulovic from Yugoslavia holds the Guinness World Record for the highest fall survived without a parachute. On January 26, 1972, she was working as a flight attendant when she fell 32,000 feet over the Czech Republic. Unbelievably, the plane that she was working onboard blew up and she fell inside a section of the tail unit. After being in the hospital for sixteen months and emerging from a twenty-seven-day coma, she had multiple broken bones but miraculously survived.
Ellen Church was the first female flight attendant who began flying in 1930. She implemented a plan that required all flight attendants to be registered nurses, which was a great idea; except when World War II began, all of the nurses enlisted in the war, so most airlines were forced to drop the requirement in order to find any workers.
The smallest commercial flight in the world is from the Westray Airport to the Papa Westray Airport between two small Orkney Islands north of Scotland. It’s only a distance of 1.7 miles and if the wind is ideal, it can take as little as forty-seven seconds from start to finish.
A stowaway Greek cat once flew in the undercarriage of an Airbus A321 from Athens to Zurich. It had shock and hypothermia but unbelievably it survived.
