Real Estate Agent with Oakstone Properties, Homes in Richmond VA

Hello Everyone!  This is your friend Nate Rowe the realtor in Richmond VA representing homes in Richmond VA and homes in Henrico County VA.  I love selling Richmond VA real estate.

Today, I want to spotlight a historical event.  Some historical events affect the future in ways we regret or celebrate forever.  Some are just footnotes in the chain of human existence.

On January 26th, 1972 a passenger jet was flying at 33,000' above Czechoslovakia when an explosion ripped the plane apart.  The plane fell to the ground in many pieces as would be expected.  In one rather large section where the wings had been a young lady was found alive.  Flight attendant Vesna Vulovic survived the crash with several broken bones and temporary paralysis.  After her recovery Vesna did fly again, and said she was not afraid to do so, probably as a result of her amnesia concerning the event itself.  She remains the record holder surviving the greatest fall without a parachute.

Please remember, if you know of anyone looking at homes in Richmond VA or homes in Henrico County VA, I would love a chance to help them out.  I love helping people find Richmond Real Estate.

Thank You,

Nate Rowe   Your Realtor in Richmond VA for Homes in Richmond VA

And that is exactly why I don't fly Delta, lol.  Understanding the physics involved, it is hard to believe she did not reach terminal velocity at which point it wouldn't matter if you landed in a feather factory there is simply no way anyone would survive.  It is unfortunate that she couldn't offer an explanation of how she did.

That's one crazy story!  I recently saw a woman interviewed on the Today Show who survived a fall when her parachute did not open....and so did her unborn child....she was pregnant!
