"My colleagues were very abnormal that day, and it all made me feel very bad."
"Can you give me a cigarette?"
In 1972, a flight attendant's passenger plane suddenly exploded at a height of 10,000 meters, and the crew including passengers totaled 28 people, only she survived, and the scene of the accident was quite tragic. Her words made people solemnly respect her at the same time, but also a cloud of suspicion rose in their hearts, and some people even sniffed out the smell of conspiracy from it, and for a time this air disaster incident quickly aroused people's widespread concern.
What happened before and after that shocked the world? How did this stewardess miraculously survive? What impact did her life have had on this? Through the life of this legendary stewardess, let's see the specific beginning and end of the air disaster that year.
Realize your dream of becoming a flight attendant and work hard at work
The flight attendant who fell from a height of 10,000 meters but could not die was named Visna. Ullovic, born in 1950 in Belgrade, Serbia, benefited from the excellent genes of her parents and entered the post-adolescent Vesna. Ullovich began to land more beautiful and moving. Not only does she have a tall and slender figure, but her face is also very good, especially a pair of large eyes that look like she can talk.
But the outward appearance of Vesna. Ullovich has a fatal flaw in her body, she suffers from congenital hypotension, which also causes her to not be able to play outside like other children since she was a child, and when she grows up, she cannot do too intense exercise, which makes Visna . Ullovich was sometimes very annoyed.
Vesna as an adult. Ullovich had her first dream of life, she wanted to become a flight attendant, put on a beautiful uniform and experience that kind of life high above the sky. For this dream, she began to study some flight attendant courses, and after about two years of study, she has greatly improved her temperament and etiquette, which also gives her a lot of confidence.
In 1971, at the age of 21, Vesna. Ullovic submitted his resume to the Yugoslav JET Airways and was soon notified of the interview because of Visna. Ullovich's efforts before this made her stand out from the crowd of job seekers and she eventually managed to get the job. Now only the last step is left to physical examination Vesna. Ullovich will be able to realize his long-held dream of becoming an airline flight attendant.
However, her fatal flaw, low blood pressure, made her difficult, and we all know that airlines are very demanding of the physical fitness of job seekers, sometimes even with a scar on their body. In order not to let her dreams run aground for physical reasons, Vesna. Ullovich chose to hide her medical history, and on the day of the medical examination, she injected a drug that could raise her blood pressure in advance.
With the blessing of this drug, Vesna. Sure enough, Ullovich was not detected to be abnormal, and then she naturally entered JAT Airlines and became a flight attendant, realizing her dream. But what she did not expect was that her act of concealing her illness involved her in the subsequent air disaster, but it was precisely because of her illness that she was able to escape from the air crash.
I don't know whether to say that she is lucky or unlucky, in short, her subsequent experience is in response to the old Chinese saying, "Where blessings and misfortunes lie, misfortunes and blessings depend." "During that time in the airline, Vesna. Ullovich is very excited every day, because the status of flight attendant gives her the opportunity to meet some of the celebrities and magnates of the time, which makes her look forward to every flight trip, because she always thinks about which star she will meet again this time.
At about 1:30 p.m. on January 26, 1972, Yugoslav JET Flight 367 took off from Stockholm, Sweden, with plans to make a short stop at Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport before flying to its final destination, Belgrade, Serbia. On long-distance flights, flights generally transit in a city in the middle, which is also the terminus of many passengers, and some passengers will board the aircraft here, and the airport will also carry out the handover of the crew crew, and the crew of the transfer station will perform the second half of the flight.
Coincidentally, that day Vesna. Ullovich is located at Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport, and it is her flight crew that will fly the second half of Flight 367. It shouldn't have been Vesna that day. Ullovich was on duty, but one of her colleagues had some temporary problems, and the leader asked her to replace her, which might not be happy if she changed to someone else, but Vesna. Ullovich was so fond of her job that she wanted to spend her days in heaven, so she gladly accepted the temporary assignment.
Unexpectedly, her love of this work brought her great disaster, and before long, Flight 367 took off from Copenhagen and began to fly towards its destination, Belgrade. However, on the surface, Vesna is full of expectations for this trip that did not belong to her. Ullovich actually had doubts in his heart, why do you say so?
According to Vesna. Ullovich later recalled that some members of her crew showed unusual reactions before the plane took off that day. For example, the captain, who usually talks a lot, locks himself in the room and does not make a sound until he comes out of the room when the handover work is carried out. However, the co-pilot, who is usually silent and unsmiling, talked endlessly with everyone about some interesting things about his family, and even the sisters, who are usually very "slamming the door", also bought a large number of gifts for their families before boarding the plane.
All kinds of phenomena that are very different from usual make Vesna. Ullovich's heart muttered, and she was puzzled, but the joy of boarding the plane temporarily suppressed the doubt in her heart. Thus, at three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the plane took off smoothly from The Kastrup airport, when there were twenty-eight people on board, including the crew. As usual, Ullovich extended a cordial greeting to the passengers and explained the relevant precautions, and there was no abnormality on the plane during the process.
10,000-meter high-altitude distress aircraft, successful survival and miracle
However, when Flight 367 flew into Czechoslovakia, the accident occurred, when Vesna. Uluvić and another stewardess were handing out snacks and drinks to the passengers when a loud explosion came from the cockpit, followed by an explosion in the entire fuselage and rapid disintegration.
At that time, the aircraft was flying at a high altitude, reaching an astonishing height of 10,160 meters, and the huge impact of the explosion caused many people to be killed on the spot, and the damaged fuselage and various fragments generated by the explosion also began to fall rapidly from a height of 10,000 meters in the form of free fall. And at this time Vesna. Ullovich is possessed by the goddess of luck, and she is swept by a force of impact into a dead corner formed between the fuselage and the seat.
The solid fuselage and seat shielded her from the subsequent impact, and she was wrapped in it, but it also provided the greatest guarantee for her life safety, and finally she fell on a snow pile in a mountain village in Czechoslovakia, and the mutilated body she resisted most of the impact, allowing her to miraculously survive. But her injuries at this time were already very serious, not only the skull had cracks, but many bones, including the vertebrae, were crushing fractures, and it could be said that she could not even move at this time.
Nearby villagers noticed that the plane had crashed, and quickly leaned toward the area, and the first person to arrive at the scene was named Bruno. Hank, after some searching, soon found Vesna sandwiched between the fuselage and the seat. Ullovich, and was surprised to find the girl alive. Bruno. Hank had fought as a medic in World War II, which also made his rescue experience very rich, and he took a closer look at Vesna. The situation of Ulovich, knowing that she was very badly injured, did not move her easily, but found some huge towel to cover visna. Ullovich's body warmed her.
Soon, the local medical team arrived at the scene and will be in a coma for a long time. Ullovic rushed to the local hospital. After a comprehensive physical examination at the hospital, the doctors were shocked by her survival, but at the same time pinched a sweat for her. Because Vesna. Such a physical condition as Ullovich can be life-threatening at any time, but Vesna. Urovich miraculously survived, and after many days of rescue, she also woke up from her coma. "Can you give me a cigarette?" Her first words when she woke up surprised everyone, and everyone was touched by her optimism and tenacity.
Vesna. The tenacity of Ullovich's vitality surprised everyone, and her experience made every doctor marvel at it, praising it as the greatest miracle in the history of medicine. What kind of miracle is this? Let's take a look at the dangers of a free-fall fall from a height of 10,000 meters.
First of all, the higher the altitude, the thinner the air will be, the lower the temperature, people fall from the sky without protection, the first will be due to lack of oxygen and low temperature and fall into a coma, usually people have not landed before they are frozen to death. Secondly, the huge acceleration will make the human body reach a speed of more than one hundred meters per second in a short period of time, under this speed, the resistance brought by the air is unbearable for the human body, and the human blood pressure will rise sharply and eventually the blood vessels will burst and die. Finally, the impact between the landing and the ground is generated, which will directly crush people's bones.
Later some scientists based on Vesna. The situation of Ullovich leads to the conclusion that the probability of survival in this case is less than one in a million, which shows that Vesna. Ullovich has done incredible wonders. Then someone has to ask why, during the fall, vesna was only wearing a flight attendant uniform. Did Ullovich not freeze to death or have a bursting blood vessel?
This is in response to the phrase we said earlier, "Where blessings and misfortunes lie, misfortunes and blessings depend." "In such a situation of near death, Vesna. Uluvich's physical defect, low blood pressure, saved her, a condition that kept her blood pressure beyond her body's tolerance during the fall, which also allowed her body to maintain a certain temperature and not freeze to death. After landing, the thick snow added a layer of protection to her successful survival, and the most fortunate person who found her had a wealth of rescue experience, did not venture to move her body, and maintained her body temperature with a towel.
It can be said that Vesna. Ullovich's miraculous life is also the result of many lucky overlaps. Now that she has successfully woken up, although she has saved her life, her situation is still not optimistic, and she may not be able to stand up again, and can be said to have become a "vegetative person" in another sense.
But Vesna. Once again, Ullovich let people see the miracle of life, and through follow-up treatment, she not only successfully stood up, but also walked on her own, but left some disabilities in her legs. Due to the great shock to the brain, Vesna. At one point, Ullovich had a brief amnesia after waking up, and was completely unimpressed by the process of the plane crash, and could only remember the scene when he served the passengers on the plane.
When the doctors showed her the report of the plane crash, she couldn't believe what had happened, much less could she accept the fact that everyone else had died except her own. When she saw the wreckage of the plane everywhere, she could no longer restrain her emotions, and cried with a headache, and did not come out of the sad mood for a long time.
The injuries were healed and the old age was not satisfactory
After lying in the hospital for almost a year, Vesna. Ullovich's injuries have improved greatly, and all the indicators of her body have become nearly normal, and she has the ability to live independently. Thus miraculously survived the crash. Ullovich stood up again with his tenacious will and opened a new chapter in his life.
Vesna. After Ullovic returned to society, she quickly became a celebrity in Yugoslavia, and various invitations and interviews continued, but after experiencing a life and death, she no longer valued fame and fortune as much as before, and only wanted to live her own simple life. Her former airline did not treat her badly, not only giving her a large compensation, but also providing her with a light and decent clerical job.
In 1985, Vesna. Ullovich's miraculous survival from a height of 10,000 meters was certified and included in the Guinness Book of World Records, and she also accidentally became the creator of the world record of "the highest height and survival without parachute fall". But the veracity of the incident was soon questioned.
Some good reporters jumped out to call Visna. Uluvich's "survival at a height of 10,000 meters" is a complete exaggeration, and the truth is not so serious at all. According to them, Flight 367 at the time did not crash due to an internal explosion, but was mistaken for an enemy aircraft while flying into Czechoslovakia and shot down by missiles fired by Czechoslovakia. At the first time, the aircraft did not explode, but began to disintegrate after descending to a position less than a kilometer above the ground, so that Vesna. Ulovich's Guinness World Record could not be established.
In the face of some disasters involving personal injuries and injuries, there are always people who deliberately create a conspiracy theory and the like in order to attract attention, which sometimes does not have any substantial evidence, but is just a way to sensationalize. It is clear that this practice of these unscrupulous journalists has both hurt Vesna. Ullovich, again misleading the masses who do not know the truth, eventually has no follow-up.
Vesna returned to normal life. Ullovich also quickly met her love, and in 1977, she formed a family with a man who loved her deeply, and finally lived a relatively happy and stable life. Originally Vesna. Ullovich was able to work at JAT Until retirement, but she was removed from the airline in 1990 after participating in a protest against the then-government. Her husband, who had been with him for thirteen years the same year, also left her, leaving neither of them any children.
Vesna. Ullovich lost her job and her family, as if she had grown old overnight, and her poor plight attracted the sympathy of many. But according to her husband's later confession, the reason why she would talk to Visna. Uluvić separated because her mental state was very unstable, and even had to calm herself by smoking a large number of cigarettes every day, and she could not bear it before filing for divorce.
Obviously, Vesna. After that crash, Ullovich suffered from a certain degree of post-traumatic stress disorder, and all the partners in her crew and those passengers lost their lives in the crash, and only she survived, which made her heart very tormented and full of guilt for those who died. In fact, these are not within her control, but she has not reached a reconciliation with herself, which also makes her life full of misfortune later in life.
After divorcing her husband, Vesna. Ullovich began to live alone, but the pain of the air crash was far from over, and she suffered from physical illness and mental suffering in her later years. On December 23, 2016, Vesna. Ullovic died alone in a cramped apartment in Belgrade at the age of 66.
Throughout, the focus of attention on the crash has been on Visna. Ullovich's miracle survived, but few people could recognize that she was also a victim, and everyone thought that it was a good thing that she survived, but ignored the pain she endured.
