iPhone Survives 16,000-Foot Drop From Alaska Airlines Plane That Blew Apart Mid-Air

The National Transportation Safety Board recently put out a call for locals to help with the search for plane debris, and Bates says he wanted to help out. Going for a walk, Bates stumbled upon an iPhone on the side of the road, which was apparently undamaged except for a broken-off charger cord still plugged into the device.

Maybe it was in Airplane Mode.

[BTW, the plane didn't actually blow apart. It just lost a door and then landed safely, minus said iPhone and some guy's shirt (this was mentioned in a post a few days ago). The NTSB is now blaming loose bolts,  if that makes you feel any better.)
