Vesna Vulovic: Flight Attendant Who Survived Midair Explosion And 33,000-Foot Fall Dies At Age 66

Vesna Vulovic, who survived a midair explosion in 1972, has died at the age of 66. Authorities confirmed the “miracle” woman was found dead in her Belgrade, Serbia, home. However, her cause of death is unknown at this time.

On January 1972, Vesna Vulovic, who was working as a flight attendant for Jugoslavenski Aerotransport, was unexpectedly scheduled to work on a flight from Stockholm, Sweden to Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

According to reports, Vulovic was inadvertently given the schedule of another flight attendant — who was also named Vesna. However, as reported by Guinness World Records, Vesna Vulovic “was happy for the mistake, as it afforded her the opportunity to see Denmark and to stay in a Sheraton Hotel, which she had always dreamed of doing.”

The then 23-year-old woman was unaware JAT Yugoslav Flight 364 was targeted by a terrorist group.

Although there are numerous conspiracy theories, authorities concluded a Croatian fascist group called the Ustashe planted explosives in the plane’s forward cargo bay during a layover in Copenhagen, Denmark. The homemade bomb was detonated as the Douglas DC-9 approached the Czechoslovakian village of Srbská Kamenice.

The initial explosion and the impact of the subsequent crash killed 27 passengers and crew. However, Vesna Vulovic miraculously survived both.
