A fit of insanity. Her friend in the aircraft was holding on to her outside the plane. The pilot was also reaching for her, quoted as saying a terrible experience. She was desperate to jump, and did.

60 killed and 70 injured in Tanzania when locals were trying to 'retrieve' petrol from a tanker which had over-turned after a road accident. Pictures show charred bodies and parts of charred bodies after an explosion. Quote from a bystander: "It is terrible. Even people who were not stealing petrol got burned.' Fancy that.(BBC, today). Probably only one of the dead is entitled to a Darwin Award. The rest get a Collateral Damage Darwin Award.

Alexa Terrazas might not be able to walk for three years after the six-floor plunge from her apartment balcony


A 23-year-old woman fell 80 feet while attempting an extreme yoga pose on the edge of her balcony. Alexa Terrazas slipped and landed on the driveway of her building.

But miraculously the Mexican college student survived the fall from her sixth-floor apartment balcony in the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon on Saturday.

An image of Miss Terrazas before she slipped went viral, showing the young woman hanging upside down in front of the balcony.

The young woman fell approximately at 1.10pm local time and was immediately tended to by paramedics from the Red Cross and the Nuevo Leon Civil Protection.

She was taken to a local hospital and underwent 11 hours of surgery.

Miss Terrazas, who as of Monday afternoon was listed in critical condition, suffered fractures to both of her legs and arms as well as her hips and head.

Not sure she qualifies as she has 'survived'?

[OFSO]

Honourable attempt at not surviving ?

You don't have to die though that is the uptime withdrawal from the gene pool. She is certainly out of the pool for the time being and maybe permanently.

"She is certainly out of the pool for the time being and maybe permanently."

Depends on the body cast.
