Vesna Vulović: The Flight Attendant Who Survived a Fall From 33,000 Feet

On January 26, 1972, JAT Flight 367 crashed near Srbská Kamenice in Czechoslovakia after breaking apart in flight. Twenty-seven people died. Flight attendant Vesna Vulović survived. Guinness World Records continues to recognize Vulović for the highest fall survived without a parachute, listing the event at 10,160 metres. But that figure is disputed by a later journalistic reconstruction, and Vulović herself said she had no memory of the crash. This episode follows what can be documented: a routine crew assignment, the official investigation's conclusion that explosives in baggage caused the aircraft's breakup, Vulović's discovery alive in the wreckage by local resident Bruno Honke, prolonged medical treatment and rehabilitation, and the unresolved dispute over the altitude and final sequence of the crash. This podcast uses artificial intelligence in its research, writing, production, and narration.
