I still remember this story from my childhood, since the magazines were writing about her. I am glad that there is a youtube video telling her story - as a stewardess she was in the airplane from Sweden to Belgrade and she miraculosuly survived the crash caused by the bomb in the airplane. She lived until she was 66 later on. Her low blood pressure helped: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesna_Vulovi%C4%87esna Vulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Вуловић [ʋêsna ʋûːloʋitɕ]; 3 January 1950 – 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 m (33,330 ft; 6.31 mi). She was the sole survivor after a briefcase bomb tore through the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia. The Yugoslav authorities suspected that Croatian nationalists were to blame, but no one was ever arrested.

I do remember reading of this crash and the only survivor being Vesna Vulovic and how she survived. I just simply do not remember where having read of her event. No matter though, it was very good of her survival to live to tell the story, bless her heart for her survival.
