The recent, dangerous venture of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 could not be captured by passenger Cuong Tran, as his phone flew out of the gaping hole that appeared in the side of the plane midflight and landed on ground 16,000 feet below him. Miraculously, the phone had no cracks and was still functioning when found by game designer Sean Bates on Jan. 7, per The Verge. Tran, according to the Los Angeles Times, was in seat 27A on the Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines flight when the passengers in the row in front of him, row 26, witnessed a large hole open on one side of the airplane.
X user Seanathan Bates documented how he had found an iPhone on the side of the road that came from an Alaska Airlines passenger and had seemingly survived the 16,000-foot drop "perfectly intact."
