Didn't a Russian Hostie have a similar "miraculous" survival in the (?) 1960s after an in-flight structural failure??

Will see what I can dig up.........

Edited to add: Google and Wiki are your friends! Close but no cigar (that'll be Cuba next year )

She was Serbian not Russian - name of Vesna Vulovic - and it was 1972, in a DC-9 which may have had a bomb on board.

As ever, there are Conspiracy Theories!
