Been Done Before

I don’t want to be a spoilsport but he is not the first person to land without a chute.  Gravity demands that everybody in that situation, land. During WWII there were several instances where crewmen jumped without parachutes, rather than burn up in their doomed plane

Alan Magee a gunner on a B-17 fell 22,000 feet without a parachute.  He survived and wound up in a POW camp.

Flight Officer Nicolas Alkemade fell 18,000 feet when his Lancaster bomber was shot down. He also survived.

I guess that is what happens when a reporter never looks past his nose, every day is a new day.
