Investigators Couldn't Figure Out How This Plane Crashed, Until They Checked Her Handbag

The Great Escape

During the excitement of the shooting, one passenger, Dick Melhart, was able to unlatch one of the doors. The slide did not deploy, but this didn't stop several passengers from jumping down, about 20 feet to land. Another passenger at the front of the plane opened a door that did deploy the slide, and those who used this method were able to escape without injury.
