"Miraculous: iPhone Survives 16,000-Foot Fall from Alaska Airlines Plane"

An iPhone survived a 16,000-foot drop after being expelled from an Alaska Airlines flight due to a sudden depressurization incident, and was found intact and in working condition by a Vancouver resident. The NTSB collected the device, which was the second phone found from the flight, along with other debris that may provide insight into the incident. The iPhone's survival can be attributed to its low weight and maximum speed, resulting in a limited amount of force on landing despite the height of the fall.
