Reminds me of the story about a woman who fell from the sky strapped into her seat. She landed in the Amazon jungle and survived. Unreal but true.

Juliane Koepcke, LANSA Flight 508. This story is beyond unreal. Aircraft disintegrated in-flight. Talk about LUCKY:

LANSA Flight 508

There was also that remarkable "Aloha Airlines" case where the aluminum fuselage essentially delaminated/exploded off the plane.
What a miracle that was years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243

If you Want to see luck that puts Koepcke well into the shade get ahold of a title called :Into The Silk-The story of the Caterpillar Club. (And I MEAN well into the shade).
