Absolutely amazing

Physically impossible.

The air pressure at 35,000 feet is only 20% that at sea level so the force on his body would be equivalent to a ~100 mph wind at sea level. It might also be possible that if he orientated his head correctly that he could ram enough air into his lungs due to his relative velocity to survive.

Nonetheless, it seems unlikely. He would have to be extremely strong to hold on at -50 degrees for 2 hours in 100 mph equivalent winds and he would pass out if he turned his head to the side for even 30 seconds.

Could be worse, he could have flown Southwest!

I don’t believe this.

At 25,000 feet? Not without suffering extreme oxygen hypoxia. And then there's the speed of a jet plane. 600 miles an hour is quite a speed to hold onto for dear life.

It’s a follow-up on the Beslan propaganda. ...tear-jerkers from an evil empire.

[toldyou]

I don’t believe it!

[SergeiRachmaninov]

This could be possible.

In the Woody Allen film, Radio Days, a woman has a seizure when seeing one of the neighborhood girls giving a goodnight kiss to "a tall colored man."

The woman's body was frozen in position just as she was raising a cup of tea to her lips. She was transported to the hospital with that cup still at her lips. The people at the hospital said that they had never seen anything like it.

The Boeing-737 has a cruising speed of 900 kmh (560 mph).

Was he holding on really tight? This is bogus.

[Pelham]

Damned superglue.

[CzarNicky]

And boy are his arms tired.

a miracle that Andrei survived the flight, with temperatures hitting minus 50

I decided to test this by just getting into the refrigerator, shutting the door and seeing how long I could go without freezing or suffocating and after an hour I suddenly realized th

Well they probably got one thing right - dad had a vodka problem. The reporter probably fell down a few times before reaching the phone, you know those Ruskies!

No, I'm not going to read the thread...

Five yard penalty, Novosti for unadulterated bullsh@t. Fourth down.

I can’t visualize any part of a 737 wing that one might be able to hang onto at 500 MPH.

[Cowboy Bob]

I remember in an episode of the Flintstones, Barney and Betty had to fly on the wing of Pterodactyl Airlines. They seemed to have survived the flight okay. :0)
