Woman Survives Longest Fall Without a Parachute | Tales From the Bottle

- This is one world record I wouldn't recommend attempting to break - and neither would its accidental holder!
"Vesna Vulović (3 January 1950 - 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 m (33,330 ft; 6.31 mi). She was the sole survivor after a briefcase bomb exploded in the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia. The Yugoslav authorities suspected that Croatian nationalists were to blame, but no one was ever arrested.
Following the bombing, Vulović spent days in a coma and was hospitalised for several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, broken legs, broken ribs, and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović had no memory of the incident and had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. Despite her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant, Jat Airways (JAT) gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too much publicity. Vulović became a celebrity in Yugoslavia and was deemed a national hero.
She was fired from JAT in the early 1990s after taking part in anti-government protests during the breakup of Yugoslavia, but avoided arrest as the government was concerned about the negative publicity that her imprisonment would bring. She continued her work as a pro-democracy activist until the Socialist Party of Serbia was ousted from power during the Bulldozer Revolution of October 2000. Vulović later campaigned on behalf of the Democratic Party, advocating for Serbia's entry into the European Union. Her final years were spent in seclusion and she struggled with survivor guilt. Having divorced, she lived alone in her Belgrade apartment on a small pension until her death in 2016."

No thanks
Pls do Juliane Koepcke, too! :-)
glad you are making videos again. You help cure my depression.
@@themostdislikedchannel then I’ll do it in your place instead
Just so you know: a near-death experience is when you actually DIE and is brought back.
What you're referring to is simply called "being lucky".
Look it up!
The luckist person in this whole story? The Vesna who was supposed to be on the plane.
Luckiest person in the story is the one that survived a 33,000 ft fall
@@ryuo.o n...no... The other Vesna
@@tenkora1 you're wrong
@@ryuo.o ...? Um... Ok firm stance, that's fine. I feel this is a grammatical matter. If you are referring to who is luckiest, I believe that's subjective.
@@ryuo.o mf literally watch the video
In the last years of her life, Vulović lived on a pension of €300 per month in her dilapidated Belgrade apartment. "I don't know what to say when people say I was lucky," she remarked. "Life is so hard today." Vulović lamented that her mother and father might not have died prematurely had she not been aboard Flight 367, stating that the incident not only ruined her life, but also those of her parents.
It hurts reading that :(
Reminds me of stuntwoman Heidi von Beltz and how the best thing that happened to her since the accident was her dying in 2015
There is another dimension to her tragedy. As pointed out in the video, she was an avid supporter of the opposition to Milošević. Unfortunately, after he got ousted, incompetent and corrupt scumbags started driving Serbia into the ground. A lot of us felt defeated because we had so much hope for the new government. They completely betrayed our trust. I hope she didn't spend time thinking about how things turned out, but something tells me that it probably had a part of her nihilistic outlook before her passing
Why the hell do all the haves sit idly by as the have-nots suffer?
@@werbnaright5012 greed and complacency, not sure of the proportions.

That intro reminds me of what my dad said after a serious head-on collision with a drunk driver. When people visiting him in the hospital told him he was "lucky" to have survived, he replied "If I was lucky, you'd be the one in the hospital bed and I would be the one calling you 'lucky"
Lucky is such a relative term that
Alice Siebold used the word as the title of one of her autobiographical books where, sadly, she was raped in college, survived obviously, and when she was interviewed by a cop investigating the incident, the cop told Alice she was “lucky”, as many rape victims are then immediately killed by their rapist. Alice’s life after the rape (which is what the book is about) showed us just how “lucky” she was, which is to say, uh . . . not so much.
Great book! It was published just prior to her bestseller, “The Lovely Bones”,
which was later adapted into a film directed by Peter Jackson starring
Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci.
@@rickbrenner6079 Isn't she the author who was exposed as being a liar in regards to her story?
Regardless, a lot of victims do have struggles afterwards, mental and physical. I just bring this up because she might not be the best example.
@@aliceiscallingno, she never lied about being raped, she accidentally identified the wrong black man in a line up and he served prison time until dna testing became widespread and he was released. Albeit, the guy really did look exactly like the actual rapist. She was heartbroken after finding out and has donated huge sums of money to the man.
@@ThumbDrso long story short she still did lie 😂 keep the cope up If your not 110 percent sure that's the guy that raped you then don't say it is simple as that. Maybe woman need to learn to take accountability for the thousands of men false identified and stop calling it "a little accident" 😂
Damn, the ending is quite depressing, not only her life was ruined her parents also suffered, she was divorced and the saddest point she died all alone. No one should ever die alone.
Everyone dies alone.
@Allosaurus 67 yup, you can have as many family members as you want around you, but you still have to face your death alone.
@@99survivabilityratepandemi81 This. Everyone dies alone. Those who disagree don't understand death.
Literally all of us die alone, bud. Better get that mentality fixed now.
@@thelastmanonearth2631 Username czechs out.
There was another incident where a skydiver got caught in an updraft and lifted way up into a storm. She was up for over an hour I believe and was basically frozen solid but somehow survived. Apparently when explosive decompression happens in an aircraft everyone basically blacks out instantly so they don’t even know what happens. Lt. Colonel William Rankin ejected at 47,000 feet and passed through a storm cloud. Supposedly the highest fall ever survived.
Clearly not, considering Vesna's is still the highest fall ever survived without a parachute.
She wasn't exactly a sky diver I believe but yes I know what ur talking about it's a awesome story
@@lilsmexigirl I think it was a paraglider pilot if I remember correctly. I fly gliders (sailplanes) and have heard similar stories too.
@@lilsmexigirl may have been paraglided or whatever it’s called but I know she went crazy high and was talking on radio through much of it. The dude ejecting at 47k is insane too.
@@twizz420 that would be why it’s the highest fall. Not the highest fall without a parachute. Not to mention that she was in the wreckage so she certainly wouldn’t have survived true free fall. If you want to be technical she is just another person who survived a plane crash. 😘
What I gather from these is that there isn't a whole lot separating a Tales From The Bottle from being a Last Moments

No doodles: serious grim shit
She survived. That's the difference.

Reminds me of the tale of Juliane Koepcke, this 17 year old German-Peruvian woman who was flying LANSA Flight 508 from Lima to Iquitos with a stop at Pucallpa, where she was meeting with family, on Christmas Eve of 1971. Her mom didn't want her to go, but her father insisted. About an hour and 45 minutes into the flight, the plane was entering a rough storm, made unavoidable due to the intense demand from passengers to not be ripped off of a holiday flight because of the possibility of the plane turning around. Lightning cleaved the plane in half, and Juliane was forced out of her row of seats and fell nearly 2 miles to the ground...and survived, still in her seat. She trekked the jungle for 11 days, battling a cold, a maggot infestation in her arm, and several broken bones until she was rescued by local fishermen. The story does have a happy ending. She met her father again in the hospital, though when the body count of the crash came in on January 1972, her mother was one of the casualties. She recovered from her injuries, and followed in the footsteps of her father, an avid studier of nature, and graduated college in 1980. She is a mammalogist and lives on to tell the tale.
Remarkable story, surviving almost 2 weeks in the jungle while badly injured at age 17. I probably would have been crying for my mother after the first night.
As for the passengers who insisted on the plane continuing into a rough storm (presumably against the better judgement of the flight crew) because they didn't want to be "ripped off"... I hope that they all felt they were getting excellent value for their money as they fell out of the sky.
@@sixstringedthing surving the drop strapped to a toilet, trekking through the jungle sustained by a few boiled sweets and following streams down hill until she found an indian village or something.
This is the story I was expecting here. Qxir needs to do this one.
Also Juliane was separated from the plane and fell with her seat alone in the rainforest.
@@jonstfrancis they already said that in the original comment.
Her blood pressure saved her just like when drunks survive car accidents. If you're knocked out cold, your body relaxes and you roll with the punches and you don't tense your muscles.
Interesting, i never knew this
That's why I'm careful to drink before I drive, incase I have an accident. It's saved me twice already... 👍
@@isaact3794 There is a medical journal study looking at this in gunshot wounds (actually several). It's definitely a thing. We now have objective evidence for it.
@@JohnDoe-tx8lq idk if ur joking but plz and b safe be i hadda homie do that shit last week he hit sum going at 100 mph and hes still messed up bad barely alive. 🤦♂️
@@JohnDoe-tx8lq yeah, drunk driving isn't something to joke about. Tell this joke to everyone who's lost someone as a result of a drunk driving accident.
Theres a WW2 story about an event similar to this, a B-17 tail gunner was the sole survivor when his aircraft was shot down by flak AA. The (now separate) tail of the bomber slowed his fall so much that the german AA gunners thought it was some sort of new aircraft and tried to shoot it down.
In the end he survived the incident, became a POW, and survived the war too. His name was Alan Eugene Magee. He died in 2003.
He survived some shit too. His skull got busted on impact and he had something like 7-9 bullet wounds in him when he was captured. The enemy was so impressed that he was alive that they chose to help him.
There were several B-17, B-24, Lancaster, and Halifax bombers hit by 88s that were blown apart and ball gunners and all sorts survived without parachutes. Most were from 25,000 or lower though.
@@gordonlawrence1448 That may be a much lower altitude, but nevertheless impressive to have survived the fall.
I believe similar thing happened to a tail gunner in a Lancaster who actually controlled the tail with the guns recoil like as if it was a plane using thrust vectoring, however shortly died after landing, succumbing to a 20mm round to the chest.
I don’t know if you noticed, but apparently the comment cops don’t want to see any comments that are only vaguely related to the topic. How dare you share an interesting and relatable tidbit here. I’m calling the cyber police.
I agree. The rescuers are the real hero's. She had a massive luck run. Nothing I would admire, just be envious about.
I'd say her actions protesting Milosevic and advocating for Serbian democracy would count as heroism.
The correct version would be Heroes. “Hero’s” would be “hero is”.

There was another woman, Betty Lou Oliver, who survived the deepest fall in a elevator. At June 28, 1945 a B-25 flew accidently into the Empire State Building and cut the carrying ropes of the elevator. Betty Lou Oliver was 300m falling and survived also.
I guess this could be a nice Quixr story too... 🤔
How do you accidentally fly into one of the tallest buildings in the world?
@@wildman510 don't drink and fly folks
@@Melonist honestly, that might be true, aviation was in a wild west age back then
@@wildman510 what happened was that the B-25 bomber in question was flying in thick fog and trying to land at Newark Airport. It got lost in the fog and by the time the pilots saw the Empire State Building, it was too late to evade.
Weather and visibility were incredibly poor.
I can't believe she fell turdy-tree tousands feet and survived!
"Your blood pressure is pretty low, I'm not sure you'd be able to qualify."
"Ch-check a-a-again, dammit," Vesna said, sipping her 99th cup of coffee.

Yes, a near-death experience will change you in obvious, and not so obvious ways. In 1994 I was crushed between a station platform and a moving German train, then dragged about 100 ft through the stone ballast until the train tore the back of my clothes off, leaving me behind. I do have visual and audio memories except for the crush event and other impacts. For those, the visual memories are not accessible. This has left me with permanent physical & mental injuries. The flashbacks and the nightmares are a bitch.
Jesus... an unimaginable experience. visualizing feels truly hopeless.
Closest I got was the doors closing on my leg and it sticking straight out of a crowded dutch train, around '03. That was terrifying enough to stick with me. I do have mental scars from severe child abuse, so I can kinda relate on flashbacks and nightmares being a pain in the cunning linguals. At one point went a month on about 4 hours sleep (chemically unassisted, practically), after weeks of nightmares and waking up more exhausted every morning. If you haven't, maybe get checked for insomnia at a sleep clinic*. Turns out, next to the nightmares, I also habitually wake up out of deep sleep (to check my surroundings). Apparently, sleep is a lot better if it comes with the actual sleeping part. Who would've known, right?
* was covered by social healthcare cause ptsd related. They can also help with the nightmares.
I nearly died from hypothermia once, obviously an entirely different way to nearly die. Idk i cant really stand extremes of temperature now, the cold water of the sea is extremely painful. Too hot gives me headaches.
I remember most of it, it was not traumatic at all, actually pretty peaceful.
i guess it depends on the type of experience. Both of you guys experiences sound absolutely brutal. Mine was the polar opposite.
I fell 30 feet and landed on a boulder in 2020, shattering my skull and leaving me with a traumatic brain injury and amnesia for the next two weeks (roughly)
I remember vividly the moments right up until hitting the ground and I still have nightmares about it
It's a little scary how much a human can go through and still survive. Wishing you all the best.
I cannot even begin to imagine how awful that must have been & the impact it must have had on you. Best wishes to you. Hope you're coping.
There was an accident at a skydiving facility in Grand Bend Ontario about 25 years ago where a skydiver had his main, and reserve chute fail. He ended up landing in a marshy area and was only badly bruised and had a broken ankle.
That marsh must have been quite mellow ... 🤔😏
I heard of a similar incident that had happened to a 40 something year old housewife, skydived at 8,000 feet, no chute for either cord, she hit, bounced, somehow cheated death and was back teaching as a substitute teacher by the end of the month hell of a woman that Ms.Hill

@@AWormsPurpose I was gonna say in my comment about having a new video drop but saw the title and decided against it.
True story. I’ve know 2 people who jumped out of airplanes (unrelated) and their parachutes didn’t open and they both survived! But the oddest thing is they were both also from former Yugoslavia.

Qxir - you should do a video on the enigma of a man that was "Wan-Hu"
He was a Chinese "astronaut" who lived in the 1300's.
As a rich government official, Wan-hu had quite a large following, and he decided one day that he would claim the land on the moon, and set out to do so with their help, and a shitload of gunpowder.
So he strapped a bunch of cannon charges to the back of his chair, and attempted to launch himself there like a bullet.
**Spoilers coming up**
When it detonated, the explosion was so massive and destroyed him so completely and instantaneously, that his followers believed his plan had worked, and that he made it to the moon.
So.. Wan-hu is the real man on the moon.
This is already a well known story.
Sounds about as successful as the Zambian space programme.
The Pokémon Celesteela is based on this story, a lot of interpretations have Wan-Hu be a princess instead.
@@capitalismsucks9590 your point? You think the Killdozer isnt? It's probably one of the most notorious stories of all time, he did a video on that and got many views, so I really don't see what you're trying to get at.

I'm Serbian and only recently found out about this through another TH-cam video that focused on the political background and details of execution of the attack. IIRC, the "Croatian nationalists" were really expat remnants of the Ustaše who fled Croatia after WW2. RIP Vesna

Every person has hundreds of close calls, over the course of your lifetime. For most of us those close calls are a car running the red light and barely missing you. Hell, you probably didn't even notice it. But sometimes you'll end up cashing in on all those chances at once
Every day is a victory, but nobody wins forever.
Once while messing around on the ice on Lake Michigan I fell through. Except I caught myself with my arms at shoulder height. When I looked down my legs were dangling into the abyss. It was about a 25 foot drop into a winter cavern with water at the floor. Judging by the distance from shore it was probably at least 5-8 foot water, maybe deeper. It was a sure death sentence that I was unbelievably able to roll away from. There were 5 of us trouncing around on the ice that day. We were running in a line and I was last at the time. My friends turned back to try and save me and the ice began to crack more and more. We all froze and thought this was it for me, knowing I didn't have long to sit there I hoisted myself out of the hole and rolled and rolled and rolled until I felt I was safe. I'll never forget that feeling..
So true. We all have multiple instances of near life changing injury or death that cause is to say, "whew! That was close!" and then we go on living our lives. The lucky ones never are able to point to what makes them lucky.
@@knurlgnar24 1.5 years ago, 2 days before my birthday, I was in a car accident with my partner. The other car crashed into the front of ours on my side, broke the front axis and generally fucked up the front pretty bad. With a bit of a different timing, it would've crashed into me instead and chances are, I wouldn't be writing this anymore. It probably was the luckiest moment of my life and I wish it had never happened
You're one of the few who notice. As somebody with psychosis I need to manually keep check that I don't put myself in danger, and often notice that many other people are so unaware of it.
Hey! Just a topic suggestion… there was a “little” train robbery in San Antonio back in 1970. (Apparently the last one that we know of in Texas.)
Love your stuff, man!
Hey Qxir. You might be interested in doing a video on "Owen J. Baggett" There is some unknown stuff with this man. But Owen was a crewman for a B-24 in the Pacific. When his Bomber was shot down, him and two other crewman espaced and parachuted down. But Japanese fighters started attacking the parachuting men. Owen tried to play dead. But it didn't work. So he pulled out his M1911 Pistol and fired it at the enemy plane. There are a couple reports of him shooting the plane down, wounding the pilot, or just scaring the pilot.
But once landed he was taken as a POW. Where it's reported that the Japanese gave him the option of seppuku. He was the only one in the entire camp that was given the option.
Ah yes the real life Battlefield
I remember hearing about a woman who was skydiving in Texas and her parachute failed to open. Even the emergency one! Turns out she was a little under the weather and her husband told her to jump. Luckily she lived, shows that miracles do exist 😌
I hear she went back to her job of substitute Spanish teacher only months later. Some folks around her did some weird stuff with her discarded body cast, though.
I hear even hough she is a Spanish teacher, her Spanish is sub par. Gets her into all sorts of confusing shenanigans
😂 good Ole peggy
Miracles being just insane luck
@@AverageAlien Have you ever seen King of The Hill lol
I like that this includes the sadder later life; although I've often heard of this story in passing, it is nice to hear the larger story (in a video that's still relatively brief).
Wow hearing that she was feeling bad for surviving cause of the financial strain on her parents and the survivors guilt I just knew she was tired and going to move on cause she couldn't take it anymore. That crushed me I can relate to her struggle I didn't fall from a plane but had something happen where it cost my family a lot and I feel horrible about that. Anyway I hope she found peace.
These days, few things are consistently enjoyable, but with each new QXIR video I'm never disappointed. Stay cool my friend.
Title instantly grabbed me
Whether or not you hunt down the lone survivor of something you're responsible for depends solely on how uncertain you are they may or may not have seen you check in the bag at the Airport.
"A Stewardess survived? This isn't good, she might have seen me check the bag in..."
Also, some are just perfectionists and may not be content with a lone survivor.
"The Manifesto said a Crew of six and a hundred Passengers, that's a hundred and six people. I will NOT settle for a hundred and FIVE,UNDERSTAND?!"
Is there any precedence for that?
“Peggy, you godda jump! it’s like selling a thousand propane grills at once!!”
I think it's safe to say that the luckiest person in this story is the Vesna who was supposed to fly as an air stewardess that day but didn't.
Needless to say, if she had flown, there would likely have been no survivors at all.
The real hero of this story is clearly the food cart. Thank you food cart for your grace under pressure, you will be forever remembered.
5:12 you say that but then there’s Violet Jessop, a Irish-Argentinian ship stewardess who survived being on all of the Red Star Line’s flagships: The Titanic, Olympic, and Britannic.

Thanks!
She is both luckiest or unluckiest ever. Her blood pressure both brought her up to the plane and at the same time saved her from falling. She got unlucky that she got picked on the wrong plane but got lucky that she landed on a forest where a former ww2 medic was nearby to help her.
I think I can break this record. Wish me luck!
I always look forward to these episodes
Thanks for your amazing videos. I've been watching a lot of them recently. Your drawing and narrative are amazing.
As a survivor of an accident that no one had any right surviving…. I can certainly attest to the whole yin and Yang of it all being a blessing.. and also a curse… I made a miraculous and near perfect recovery, but the damage done to my right eye is basically irreparable and I’m left with a sort of almost lazy eye like issue with my right eye.. this has gotten me judged and ridiculed through most of my life and I will live with it until the day I die. Am I lucky yes… am I unlucky…. yes…
Your illustrations are cool as usual. Btw the acronym of former Yugoslav air carrier is commonly pronounced "yut".
Flew on one all the way to Australia back in 88
Keep the videos coming!! I love them 🥰🥰🥰
Imagine surviving all that only to be hit and killed by a car while leaving the hispital.
i love your animation style, its simple but iconic
There was a similar story from WWII where a tail gunner was trapped in the back of a damaged bomber when the tail sheared off and he was able to shift his weight around to glide the tail section down. IIRC, he was able to survive the fall that way, but later succumbed to injuries (I think that he'd already been mortally wounded).
EDIT - Looked it up and found the story of Eugene P. Moran. Interesting story someone else did on TH-cam, since I was wrong about him dying immediately afterwards. Might be worthy of a "Tales from the Bottle" treatment.
Poor girl, great upload as usual 👌
Okay, the granddaughter part was wholesome and you managed to make doodles look incredibly wholesome just for that.
I knew this story for a while, although usual trivia depicted her as falling outside the airplane, not inside the tail section. So thanks for correcting that. Also for revealing her sad fate afterwards.
There was once a woman in Texas that survived a very steep fall when he chute failed to open, she landed on her back in a mud flat which saved her life but broken almost all her bones, which had her confined to a body cast for un undisclosed amount of time. Tragic. Had to train and learn to walk again.

Love your content, keep up the great work mate.
BLOWN out of the plane! Thank you, thank you Qxir for actually getting it right! It is technically being blown out, not sucked out. Nobody ever seems to get that right.
Reminds me of the whole "are you letting the heat out, or the cold in" debate I had with a physics teacher at college
Sounds like a highly semantic and debatable difference to be honest.
are both not correct?
Air pressure is air pressure, it's all relative, same as motion, it is "coming" or "going". From one perspective it looks like 'blown', from the other it is 'sucked'. Ah, physics!
Everything in the universe is seeking equilibrium per thermos 2nd law. We assume that if we drop a solid iron bar that it will drop, but if it's released from the bottom of a pool of mercury it does the opposite, and 'floats'.
Now the big question: can a pressurized system exist indefinitely next to a vacuum in an open system? How? We all know "the answer", but really think about that and how it can never be replicated in lab experiments, ever. It defies all logic and experience, yet one word dismisses all doubts. Poof.

That's just some insane luck
i could listen to qxir say numbers all day
Your story telling skills are amazing dude.
Great video!
Love tales from the bottle!
There is a really cool story about a WW2 bombardier who was in the nose of his B 25 when the glass broke beneath him and he fell 500ft and somehow survived by landing on a frozen lake.
Landing on a frozen lake? Straight onto ice?
@@dabbinghitlersmemes1762 yeah somehow he survived, don’t know how
Sad stuff.. Rest-In-Peace Vesna
U rock qxir Bro Look forward to each new vid👍👍crazy 8’s is my fave just because I remember it happening. Ur animations are the best
This reminded me of another plane disaster story that might make a good Last Moments. Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 suffered explosive decompression after one of the plane's engines came apart mid-flight. A fan blade from the engine then hit a window, punching a hole in the plane. Miraculously however there was only one fatality, a woman who's death likely saved the lives of other passengers because she got sucked through the hole but got stuck, preventing anyone else from being pulled out of the plane.
Id get a tattoo of her name in memory of her if I was on that flight. That kind of Hodor type self sacrifice needs homage.
That's fucked but also amazing
@@jeremiahcherry5283 Hodor wasn't self sacrifice. It was Bran using Hodor as him as a meat shield.
I always hated that incident, seems so unfair that evil fan blade picked one person to kill. For everyone else it was just an unusual flight.
Thirty three thousand sounds impressive, but once you’ve fallen a few hundred feet you’ll be pretty close to terminal velocity so surviving a 33,000 ft fall isn’t really that much more impressive than surviving a 330 ft fall.
I’ve heard it’s around 400 feet but yes 🙂
Hey you posted again! I've been binge watching you channel for a few days now I love your content! Keep it up!
New subscriber love the videos they help me go to sleep thank you and hi from Australia

"It would be pretty weird if I made a video about someone winning the lotto and opened the video up talking about an aviation disaster."
Allow me to introduce you to Frano Selak of Croatia.
Great video! I really like your videos about crazy stories like this.
I think I recommended this on the last video but I’m posting it again bc nobody saw it lol. check out the story of Joan Murray. She was skydiving and her parachutes failed, but she survived because she landed in a mound of fire ants and the venom they released when they bit her stimulated her nervous system and kept her heart from stopping
Great work.
Oh wow you actually covered her, it was part of my suggestion last episode and I wasnt expecting the story to be covered so soon
I once survived a 3,000,000,000 mile fall. I was doing astronaut stuff, because im a real astronaut (no lie), and i slipped on an ice cube, and fell out of space. Luckily i landed perfectly within a childs birthday party. They had one of those big ass inflatable bouncy castles. I didnt land on it or anything, i landed flat on the sidewalk, im just saying, they had a bouncy castle. Pretty cool, im pretty cool
The funny thing is that the name Vesna in Slavic languages means fall (season).
ayoooo
I love seeing your growth as a creator ive been around since 6k subs and im happy to watch your channel get out there more because its super underrated
What a great channel! 🎉
As a ''survivor'' I can attest that you see life differently after and it wasn't for the better for me either... Anyway nice vid as always man!
Imagine being so unlucky and lucky at the same time. She was unlucky enough to be accidentally placed on a plane that blew up, but lucky enough to survive the longest fall ever with just some broken bones, and all that came out of this was a limp.
Yay new video! You should make longer ones though
Sure I binged most of your videos before you uploaded and I'm just realising I'm not subscribed. Fixing that now. Your stuff is golden, and greetings from Scotland!
6:49 Joe really left impractical jokers for that?
If I were that woman, I'd sue you for the thumbnail picture.
You're getting damn good at drawing mate, that exploding plane was super well done
There’s an Australian man who died in an accident but revived the some time after won the lottery not once but TWICE. His name is Bill Morgan I think
Change the thumbnail bro
This is definitely in my top 5 favorite channels.
It always makes me laugh.
Thanks Qxir.
You're unlucky for being in an accident, you're lucky for surviving it.
As a Croat, Vesna was always a hero of mine.
After being hurt by a bomb that was ment to bring world attention towards serbian fear-rule and oppression in Yugoslavia she stud up against her own president because of sanctions that was brought on to her country because of war games they had in Croatia and BIH...man, that is like I am describing what putin is doing to the Ukraine right now....damn.
Zagreb will burn together with Washington DC
As a croat you should know better than to swing that propaganda and be more aware of atrocities comitted on both sides. There wasnt one single bad side in that war, everybody commited terror on everybody for their own "just" reasons. Btw during the war everybody was against Slobodans politics for one reason or another and I never heard anybody support the regimes "fear rule. Thats why we had the 5th of October.
@@bdj9542 as a serbian you should know that the partisan blood binds us as brothers, any nationalistic stories should be forgotten, traitors cut down
How the hell is falling from a plane heroic???
@@jebipasadegene no thanks man, we hate communism and partisans with passion, we just couldnt show it during the Tito era. If theres something that binds us its not Titoism.
