the Herzog postscript

Wow, I also somehow missed that Werner Herzog narrowly missed taking the same flight and made a documentary out of it later. How out of touch can I get?

There were some other obvious gaps in the CNN story, such as… Had a funeral already been held for the girl? How did the father react to her reappearance? etc.

But here’s the really weird line from a different article on the crash: “It was later discovered that as many as 14 other passengers also survived the initial fall from the disintegrated plane but were unable to seek help and died while awaiting rescue.”

As many as 14 people survived a 2-mile fall?
