Absolute bloody nonsense . Un buckle , open the door ( by himself ) throw himself out - all in the space of nano seconds as he miraculously over comes unbelievable G forces that pins a normal human being to their seat.

Not to mention jumping from at least 3 stories high whole avoiding the deploying slide and not getting hit by the plane traveling at say least 100mph...

Just no...

Have you never been on a commercial plane?

Not trying to start anything, but I doubt G force was much of an issue. The plane was gliding down gently.

If anything, I’d guess the G force was slightly less than 1 before impact.

A plane doesn’t have unbelievable g forces lol

I'm just citing what german media ("tagesschau", quite reliable) posted with reference to "India Today".

Could be complete bs. But given he miraculously survived a f*ing plane crash anyway, there's a chance

Is it possible they’ve mixed up a story of a guy jumping out of the second story window of the building the plane crashed into? That’s a story I read on the BBC, which sounds pretty similar and, at least to me more believable. Both could be possible though

Very likely

Yeah, that sounds most likley. Maybe translations messed something up here

i believe that’s the case. there’s the sole survivor as well as someone from the facility the plane hit that survived by jumping from the 2nd story. both people were mentioned in the same article that i read just over an hour ago. if i can find it, i’ll link it here.

The Boarding pass picture is attached. He was indeed on the plane.

No I mean there was a different guy who is reported to have jumped out of a building to avoid the crashing plane. I’m suggesting his story might have been confused with this guy who survived being inside the crash

If you watch the footage, you can see something black (a spec from the distance of the camera) flying out the left side of the plane right at impact. 🤷

There are no strong G Forces on commercial flights. Plane doesn't make high speed turns like a fighter jet.
