Quote History Quoted:
ETA - Sequence shows a flat spin ? ... they say it's hard to clamber out of.
Depends where you are in the plane and just how it's spinning. If you are being flung towards an exit, lucky you. On the wrong side of the moment? Too bad you're gonna die.
I've seen video of CASA on it's back spinning with jumpers exiting the rear door, not sure if they were being flung out or not but the plane was falling so fast it appeared as if the jumpers were "going up." I was actually in free fall above a Queen Air in the same predicament with the same effect. Everyone made it out of both planes and both planes recovered but it's a crap shoot for sure. If the airplane is missing a wing I bet it's so violent inside, no matter what you see from the outside, that most won't have a chance of escape.
Anyway, got news from a friend over there that it's likely I didn't have any friends aboard. Small consolation for me, still a huge tragedy.
