March 7, 2007: Plane barely survives 20,000 feet freefall

Well i would think to be glad they didn't have autopilot on. If they would have, the plane would have never fallen fast enough for them to regain consciousness. They would have just kept flying till they ran out of fuel. Course, they would have frozen to death first, so the crash wouldn't of been so terrifying. I think I remember hearing a story like this happening. The FFA found the plane flying off course and had it intercepted when they realized that the pilots and passengers were dead. They just left the plane to fly till it ran out of fuel, then let it crash in a field. How would you like to get that call about a loved one?
Damn lucky pilots. Really glad to hear a happy ending!
