Rare Moments That Have Been Captured on Camera

A Pilot Survived a Big Fall

A pilot and ball turret gunner named Alan Magee's B-17 bomber plane was hit and began to spin out of control in 1943. Alan fell out of the plane and was falling for over four miles without a parachute. He ended up crashing through the glass roof of a nearby railroad station and completely survived the accident with absolutely minimal injuries. Alan eventually lived to the age of eighty-four years old.

His story was so bizarre that many didn't believe him as he was recovering in hospital. He was truly so lucky to survive an incident that would have killed most people.
