“The people on Korean Airlines 007 fell five miles before the crash killed them, and they were on no joy ride. Think about what THAT was like.”
That would take 3-4 minutes wouldn’t it?
You hit about 120mph (terminal velocity for average human body in spread-eagle posture in the lower atmosphere) in the first seven seconds after the fall begins. Time to surface level from 5 miles altitude is a little over two and a half minutes.
However, unless one of the passengers had an oxygen bottle with them when the KAL jet was blown apart, oxygen deprivation (which occurs at altitudes greater than 10,000 - 15,000ft or so depending on the individual, call it three miles up) would have caused loss of consciousness and/or death long before their bodies hit the ground.
