How fast was the flight before she went out the windows?

In Moscow, ground floor apartments are prime real estate.

The lack of safety codes in Moscow is amazing. Flat slab balconies with zero railing. Full body window frames that open up from sill to sill and let you step right out. You really got to be careful around windows in Moscow buildings!!! The loss of life to this very innocent and accidental phenomenon surely could be avoided.

Seems like Russians have a morbid love affair with windows. Was it open or closed when she jumped?

Sooner or later, falling out of windows will be the number one cause of death in Russia.

“Falling out of a window” is a signature for the Putin government just like “concrete shoes” are for some mafia families.
