Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
Check this!! ...JAT stewardess Vesna Vulović survived a fall of 33,000 feet (10,000 m) on January 26, 1972 when she was aboard JAT Flight 367. The plane was brought down by explosives over Srbská Kamenice in the former Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). The Serbian stewardess suffered a broken skull, three broken vertebrae (one crushed completely), and was in a coma for 27 days. In an interview she commented that, according to the man who found her, "...I was in the middle part of the plane. I was found with my head down and my colleague on top of me. One part of my body with my leg was in the plane and my head was out of the plane. A catering trolley was pinned against my spine and kept me in the plane. The man who found me, says I was very lucky. He was in the German Army as a medic during World War Two. He knew how to treat me at the site of the accident."

Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
Always wanted to see what something like this would look like... as I've only flown once before in my life (12 hour flight) and couldn't shake the idea our plane was going to fall out of the sky. Thanks for this!

Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
The masks only gave the passengers 12 minutes of oxygen IIRC. I'd assume that's meant to be enough time for the flight crew to recognise the problem and fly to a safer altitude. Considering the plane was in the air until it ran out of fuel, they were definitely unconscious on impact.

Re: Boeing 737 HELIOS Crash Scene in Greece
Wow. What a ignorant flight crew. They ignored like 3-steps, the alarms and oxygen masks? All of this happened at 10,000ft and they were STILL ascending? Extremely poor/sloppy judgement.
