Re: 20,000 feet fall w/ no parachute
In March 1945, a RCAF mid upper gunner fell with a 16 foot piece of fuselage from 18,000 plus feet into a forest and survived. The cold night in the forest kept bleeding to a minimum. Hence is licence plate reads "No Chute"

Re: 20,000 feet fall w/ no parachute
It happened on 26. 1.1972 over Czechoslovakia. Douglas DC-9 flying from Stockholm to Belgrade has a bomb aboard with intention to kill Yugoslavian minister.
Steward Vesna Vulovicova was preparing a dinner in the moment of explosion and she was thrown into the tail part and fall from 10 km. She probably survived as the tail part slide down from a slope. Her legs were broken but she was trying to get of of the wreckage when the ambulance arrived. There are also some rumours that the plane was not flying so high but only in several hundreds of meters and was shot down by Czechoslovak AA rackets... Pavel
