No, the best we can hope is that they can somehow emerge from the wreckage and get out... but the tumble on the command module could be huge.

I don't know how fast they were going at 200,000 feet.

If they were just a few hundred miles south they could have jettisoned in the Gulf of Mexico.

They're traveling 7 times faster than a bullet shot from a rifle.

12,500 mph... YOU DON'T JUMP AT THAT SPEED OR HEIGHT.
