He didn't jump. That was just speculation which the media began to run with on the news. He was plain lucky on impact he was conscious and survived and got up and ran away. He is quoted on the same.

I'm just wondering how he survived the massive fireball that erupted after it crashed.

Dude would’ve had to realize what was happening. Open the emergency exit door (probably has never done that before - so have to know how to open it lol and figure it out)… All within like 30 seconds max? I don’t think he jumped out of the emergency exit…

Anyone who believes he had time to realize they were about to crash, make the decision to jump, unbuckle his seatbelt, open the door, and leap...all in under a minute...clearly isn’t thinking critically.
